RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) represents one of the most common sarcoma histotypes, demonstrating an overall dismal prognosis. Previous studies reported uLMS to carry recurrent somatic BRCA2 homozygous deletions, related to significant clinical benefits from the use of PARP inhibitors. METHODS: To investigate the prevalence in uLMS of genomic alterations (alt) in BRCA2 and other homologous recombination (HR) and DNA damage response (DDR) genes, cBioPortal was accessed and data were retrieved from studies including pan-sarcoma histologies. HR-/DDR-genes included BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG, FANCI, FANCL, FANCM, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD50, and ATR. Only oncogenic/likely oncogenic alterations were included according to OncoKB. CLINICAL REPORT AND RESULTS: We reported a clinical case of a patient affected by a highly pretreated uLMS discussed at the European Institute of Oncology Molecular Tumor Board. A targeted next-generation sequencing panel demonstrated a somatic BRCA2 homozygous deletion (homDel). Upon access to Niraparib, a remarkable response of 15 months was observed before experiencing disease progression. In the genomic query, among 2393 cases, uLMS (nâ =â 193) displayed 9 of all 31 BRCA2alt observed, representing the only sarcoma histotype showing an enrichment in BRCA2alt (4.66%; qâ <â 0.001). All of 9 BRCA2alt were represented by homDel, which related to a high fraction of genome altered. CONCLUSION: uLMS displays a significant frequency of somatic BRCA2alt homDel. Considering their dismal prognosis, further investigation is warranted to test the use of PARPi in uLMS, and particularly in the setting of BRCA1/2 alterations.

The protein-specific methyltransferase Set7/9 is known for its ability to add methyl groups to lysine residues on many targets, including as histones H1.4, H2A, H2B, H3, and non-histone proteins such as p53, NFκB, E2F1, pRb, Hif1α, ß-catenin, STAT3, and YY1 transcription factors. Set7/9 affects both the landscape of histone modifications and the functionality of the aforementioned TFs, and acts as an essential mediator of vital cellular functions, regulating tumor growth and the neoplastic transformation of normal cells. The number of studies demonstrating the determining role of Set7/9 in cancer is growing. Importantly, the effect of Set7/9 on tumor progression is ambivalent and cancer-type dependent. In this study we analyzed the potential participation of Set7/9 in the essential cellular processes in breast cancer cells and revealed that Set7/9 may be involved in DNA damage signaling and DNA repair processes. We further demonstrated that Set7/9 expression is downregulated in cancerous breast tissues and inversely correlated to PARP1 expression level. Using breast cancer cell lines of HER2-positive and triple negative subtypes we have shown that the attenuation of Set7/9 led to the stabilization of PARP1 on both mRNA and protein levels that in turn resulted in cisplatin resistance acquiring. Finally, we demonstrated that the combination of cisplatin with FDA approved PARP1 inhibitor niraparib (Zejula) has a synergistic effect with cisplatin and thereby allows to overcome cisplatin resistance of Set7/9 deficient breast cancer cells.

Poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in the DNA repair process and has become an attractive target for cancer therapy in recent years. Given that niraparib has good clinical efficacy as a PARP inhibitor, this study aimed to develop radiolabeled niraparib derivatives for tumor imaging to detect PARP expression and improve the accuracy of stratified patient therapy. The niraparib isonitrile derivative (CNPN) was designed, synthesized, and radiolabeled to obtain the [99mTc]Tc-CNPN complex with high radiochemical purity (>95%). It was lipophilic and stable in vitro. In HeLa cell experiments, the uptake of [99mTc]Tc-CNPN was effectively inhibited by the ligand CNPN, indicating the binding affinity for PARP. According to the biodistribution studies of HeLa tumor-bearing mice, [99mTc]Tc-CNPN has moderate tumor uptake and can be effectively inhibited, demonstrating its specificity for targeting PARP. The SPECT imaging results showed that [99mTc]Tc-CNPN had tumor uptake at 2 h postinjection. All of the results of this study indicated that [99mTc]Tc-CNPN is a promising tumor imaging agent that targets PARP.

OBJECTIVES: Patterns of disease recurrence on poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor maintenance therapy are unclear and may affect subsequent treatment. This ad hoc subgroup analysis of the phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 study evaluated patterns of initial recurrence in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). METHODS: PRIMA included participants at high risk for disease progression. This ad hoc analysis only evaluated participants randomized to niraparib maintenance without evidence of disease at baseline. The number and site(s) of initial recurrent lesions at investigator-assessed progressive disease (PD) were evaluated. RESULTS: Of the 314 niraparib-treated patients analyzed, 190 developed ≥1 new lesion (median number of new lesions, 1.0; interquartile range, 1-2). In total, 93.2% (177/190) of patients developed 1-3 lesions at first disease progression. The most common sites of recurrence were the peritoneum (30.0% [57/190]), lymph nodes (26.3% [50/190]), and liver (20.5% [39/190]). Similar results were observed when patients with PD were stratified by biomarker status, disease stage at diagnosis, and type of debulking surgery. Patients with homologous recombination-proficient tumors, stage III disease, or a history of primary debulking developed a median of 2.0 new lesions at first progression; patients with homologous recombination-deficient tumors, stage IV disease, or a history of interval debulking developed a median of 1.0 new lesion. CONCLUSIONS: Many patients with AOC without lesions at first-line maintenance treatment initiation develop oligometastatic disease at first recurrence. Prospective evaluation is required to determine whether these patients have improved outcomes when local therapies are combined with continuous, systemic, targeted maintenance therapy.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Niraparib plays a crucial role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. A comprehensive understanding of the incidence and risk of hypertension associated with niraparib would be of vital importance to healthcare practitioners. METHODS: In this study, an observational, retrospective, pharmacovigilance study was conducted based on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Cases of hypertension related to niraparib were extracted for disproportionality analysis from the first quarter (Q1) of 2017 to Q1 of 2023. Moreover, a separate meta-analysis was performed using the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on niraparib for cancer treatment published in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from inception to May 31st, 2023. The primary outcomes were the incidence and risk of hypertension associated with niraparib. RESULTS: In the FAERS, 1196 hypertension cases were found to be related to niraparib treatment. Notably, niraparib exhibited the highest level of disproportionality, as indicated by a reporting odds ratio (ROR) of 2.85 (95% CI, 2.69-3.01), suggesting a greater likelihood of causing hypertension compared to other poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (P < 0.01). Our safety meta-analysis included five pivotal RCTs of niraparib that reported hypertension. In comparison to placebo treatment, the meta-analysis demonstrated a significant increase in the risk of hypertension with niraparib (OR 2.84 [95% CI, 2.17-3.72], P < 0.01), with no heterogeneity observed among the studies (I2 = 0%, χ2 = 2.02, P = 0.73). The incidence of niraparib-induced hypertension was determined to be 16.9% (95% CI, 14.9-18.9; I2 = 34%). CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that hypertension is a distinctive adverse event associated with niraparib compared to other PARP inhibitors. Niraparib significantly increases the risk of hypertension that needs early recognition and management in clinical medication.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of age on the efficacy and safety of niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with a complete/partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. METHODS: Post hoc analysis of the phase 3 PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 study (NCT02655016). Patients in the intent-to-treat population were categorized according to age at baseline (<65 years vs ≥65 years), and progression-free survival (PFS), safety, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were evaluated for each age subgroup (clinical cutoff date, May 17, 2019). Safety findings were also evaluated according to a fixed starting dose (FSD) or an individualized starting dose (ISD). RESULTS: Of 733 randomized patients, 289 (39.4%) were ≥65 years (190 niraparib, 99 placebo) at baseline. Median PFS (niraparib vs placebo) and hazard ratios (95% CI) were similar in patients aged <65 years (13.9 vs 8.2 months; HR, 0.61 [0.47-0.81]) and ≥65 years (13.7 vs 8.1 months; HR, 0.53 [0.39-0.74]). The incidences of any-grade and grade ≥3 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were similar across age subgroups; in the niraparib arm, TEAEs leading to dose discontinuation occurred in 7.8% of patients <65 years and 18.4% of patients ≥65 years. ISD use lowered the incidence of grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia events in niraparib-treated patients compared with the FSD (<65 years: 42.8% vs 18.0%; ≥65 years 57.0% vs 26.1%). HRQOL was comparable across age subgroups. CONCLUSION: Niraparib efficacy, safety, and HRQOL were generally comparable across age subgroups, although patients ≥65 years had a higher rate of discontinuations due to TEAEs. ISD use reduced grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia events regardless of age.

OBJECTIVE: To assess patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) who received niraparib as first-line maintenance therapy. METHODS: PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (NCT02655016) enrolled patients with newly diagnosed advanced OC who responded to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized (2:1) to niraparib or placebo once daily in 28-day cycles until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or death. HRQoL was assessed as a prespecified secondary end point using patient-reported responses to the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QOL Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), the EORTC QLQ Ovarian Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-OV28), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian Symptom Index (FOSI), and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires. Assessments were collected at baseline and every 8 weeks (±7 days) for 56 weeks, beginning on cycle 1/day 1, then every 12 weeks (±7 days) thereafter while the patient received study treatment. RESULTS: Among trial participants (niraparib, n = 487; placebo, n = 246), PRO adherence exceeded 80% for all instruments across all cycles. Patients reported no decline over time in HRQoL measured via EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status/QoL and FOSI overall scores. Scores for abdominal/gastrointestinal symptoms (EORTC QLQ-OV28) and nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, and constipation (EORTC QLQ-C30) were higher (worse symptoms) in niraparib-treated patients than placebo-treated patients; except for constipation, these differences resolved over time. Patients did not self-report any worsening from baseline of fatigue, headache, insomnia, or abdominal pain on questionnaires. CONCLUSIONS: Despite some early, largely transient increases in gastrointestinal symptoms, patients with OC treated with niraparib first-line maintenance therapy reported no worsening in overall HRQoL.

Due to the widespread use of cancer genetic testing in gastrointestinal cancer, the BRCA1/2 genetic mutation has been identified in biliary tract cancer as well as pancreatic cancer. Niraparib is a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, and PARP inhibitors exert their cytotoxicity against cancer cells in the context of homologous recombination deficiency, such as BRCA mutations, via the mechanism of synthetic lethality. The aim of this phase II NIR-B trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib for patients with unresectable advanced or recurrent biliary tract cancer, pancreatic cancer or other gastrointestinal cancers with germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations revealed by genetic testing. The primary end point is an investigator-assessed objective response rate in each cohort.Clinical Trial Registration: jRCT2011200023 (ClinicalTrials.gov).
A clinical study to confirm the efficacy and safety of niraparib for people with advanced biliary tract, pancreatic and other abdominal cancers with the BRCA genetic mutation: the NIR-B trial.BRCA gene is involved in repairing DNA injury and plays an important role in cancer growth. Cells with a mutation in the BRCA gene cannot repair DNA using a method called homologous recombination repair. Niraparib is part of a class of drugs called 'PARP inhibitors' that inhibit enzymes called 'PARP' involved in repairing DNA injury, and has shown efficacy against cancers with BRCA gene mutations. BRCA gene mutations are infrequent but have been found in a variety of cancers. The NIR-B trial is a clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib for people with advanced biliary tract, pancreatic and other abdominal cancers with BRCA gene mutations.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether maintenance treatment could be safely and effectively performed with olaparib, olaparib plus bevacizumab and niraparib in platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer at multiple institutions in Japan. METHODS: We investigated progression-free survival and adverse events in 117 patients with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer treated with maintenance therapy. RESULTS: The median progression-free survival of 117 patients was 20.1 months. Patients with germline BRCA pathogenic variants had a significantly better prognosis than the other groups (P < 0.001). Furthermore, in the multivariate analysis, stage IV (P = 0.016) and germline BRCA wild-type (P ≤ 0.001) were significantly associated with worse progression-free survival in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Regarding adverse events, all three types of maintenance treatment were significantly worse than chemotherapy given before maintenance treatment with respect to renal function (olaparib, P = 0.037; olaparib plus bevacizumab, P < 0.001; and niraparib, P = 0.016). CONCLUSION: Maintenance treatment was performed effectively and safely. Renal function deterioration is likely to occur during maintenance treatment, and careful administration is important in platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer.

Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) is one of the most common and important adverse drug reactions. Still, the details of the clinical presentation of DIILD caused by poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are unknown. A 73-year-old Japanese woman was started on niraparib maintenance therapy after radical surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for high-grade serous carcinoma originating from the fallopian tube. Forty-seven days after starting niraparib, she presented to the hospital with dyspnea and was diagnosed with DIILD caused by niraparib. The drug was discontinued, and the patient was treated with steroid pulse therapy, and her condition improved. In clinical trials of PARP inhibitors, DIILD was reported in 0.13% of patients with olaparib, but no DIILDs, including pneumonia or pneumonitis, were reported in any patient with niraparib. This is the first report of DIILD caused by niraparib worldwide. In the future, the frequency of DIILD caused by niraparib should be clarified in real-world data.

INTRODUCTION: Niraparib, a strong poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, contributed significantly to progression-free survival as a maintenance therapy in the platinum-sensitive period in both first-line and recurrent ovarian cancer, regardless of the BRCA mutation. Grade 3-4 anemia, which has a manageable side effect profile, especially hematological, is seen in almost 1 out of every 4 patients. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no reported case of pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) induced by niraparib treatment. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with stage 3 serous carcinoma of the tuba received niraparib front-line maintenance treatment had grade 4 anemia after 3 months of niraparib treatment. She underwent bone marrow aspiration and biopsy because of refractory anemia, which needs red blood cell (RBC) transfusions despite interruption of treatment. MANAGEMENT AND OUTCOME: The patient was treated with 1â mg/kg methyl prednisolone, after histopathological assessment was consistent with PRCA. The hemoglobin count returned to the normal range with steroid treatment. DISCUSSION: In daily practice, it should be kept in mind that in the case of refractory anemia induced by niraparib, the underlying cause might be PRCA and can be improved with steroid administration.

Given the rarity of RAD51C mutations, the risk and treatment of metachronous breast cancer after the diagnosis of ovarian cancer in RAD51C mutation carriers is not clear, especially for those who have received PARPi treatment. We report the case of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with stage IIIC high-grade serous primary fallopian tube cancer. The patient had no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. The patient received three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin and achieved a complete response. After interval debulking surgery, the patient received three cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. Collection and extraction of saliva DNA for next-generation sequencing identified a RAD51C mutation c.838-2 A > G. The patient received niraparib as front-line maintenance treatment. After 36 months of niraparib treatment, the patient had grade II invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast that was positive for estrogen receptor (90%) and Ki-67 (30%) and negative for progesterone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2. Computed tomography revealed the absence of distant metastases. Modified radical mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were then performed. The final pathological report of the breast showed a 1.8 cm Bloom-Richardson grade II invasive ductal carcinoma in the left breast with axillary lymph node metastasis (1/21). Finally, the breast cancer was stage IIA, pT1cN1M0. The metachronous breast cancer in this case may be the first report of second primary cancer in fallopian tube cancer patient harboring a RAD51C mutation during niraparib treatment. Further studies are required to determine optimal treatment.
RESUMEN
AIM: In Japan, Niraparib maintenance therapy for primary and recurrent ovarian cancer was approved in September 2020 and is expected to improve the prognosis of ovarian cancer. However, the safety of niraparib maintenance therapy in Japanese patients has not been fully evaluated. METHODS: Patients with ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer) treated with niraparib at Jichi Medical University Hospital from September 2020 to August 2022 were enrolled in this study. Patient background, starting dose, rates of interruption, reduction, or discontinuation, adverse events (AEs) during treatment, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) trends were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients received niraparib maintenance therapy during the study period, including 21 with primary cancer and 8 patients with recurrent cancer. Seventeen patients (58.6%) required dose interruptions and 16 patients (55.2%) required dose reductions. Only two patients (6.9%) discontinued treatment due to fatigue and nausea. The most frequent AE was creatinine increases in 18 patients (62.1%, all grades). Although eGFR levels decreased significantly after niraparib therapy compared to before niraparib therapy (59.3 vs. 50.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 , p < 0.001), the levels returned to pre-niraparib initiation levels after discontinuation of niraparib (64.6 vs. 64.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 , p = 0.96). Multivariate regression analysis showed that diabetes was independently associated with decreased eGFR (p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS: Niraparib maintenance therapy frequently increased serum creatinine, but the change was reversible. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of niraparib on renal function in Japanese patients.

Hereditary familial tumors constitute 10-15% of all malignancies and present opportunities for the identification of therapeutic approaches against specific germline genetic defects. Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome, which is linked to the pathogenic mutations of the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer 2 (BRCA2) genes, is an important research model for personalized therapeutic approaches for specific germline mutations. HBOC is characterized by multiple cases of breast and ovarian carcinoma in association with other tumors (prostate, pancreas and stomach carcinoma) within the same family branch, a young age of onset (<36 years), bilaterality and an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Counseling, evaluation of the clinical criteria for the diagnosis of HBOC, and the performance of genetic testing allow for the identification of subjects with BRCA1/2 mutations and provide crucial information for clinical and therapeutic management. The identification of a BRCA gene mutation has therapeutic implications for women with metastatic and non-metastatic breast cancer. In the therapeutic setting of BRCA+ breast cancer, treatment with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA and cause cell death, is remarkable. This review summarizes the evidence demonstrating the value of BRCA1/2 status as a diagnostic and prognostic tool and as a predictive biomarker in the personalized approach to hereditary BRCA + cancers.

BACKGROUND: The PRIMA/ENGOT-OV26/GOG-3012 (NCT02655016) trial was amended to prospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of an individualized starting dose (ISD) regimen of niraparib for first-line maintenance therapy in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS: In the phase 3 PRIMA trial, patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with a complete/partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (N = 733) were initially treated with a fixed starting dose (FSD) regimen of 300 mg once daily. Subsequently, the protocol was amended so newly enrolled patients received an ISD: 200 mg once daily in patients with baseline body weight < 77 kg or baseline platelet count < 150,000/µL, and 300 mg once daily in all other patients. Efficacy and safety outcomes were assessed by starting dose. RESULTS: Overall, 475 (64.8%) patients were assigned to an FSD (niraparib, n = 317; placebo, n = 158) and 258 (35.2%) were assigned to an ISD (niraparib, n = 170; placebo, n = 88). Efficacy in patients who received FSD or ISD was similar for the overall (FSD hazard ratio [HR], 0.59 [95% CI, 0.46-0.76] vs. ISD HR, 0.69 [95% CI, 0.48-0.98]) and the homologous recombination-deficient (FSD HR, 0.44 [95% CI, 0.30-0.64] vs. ISD HR, 0.39 [95% CI, 0.22-0.72]) populations. In patients with low body weight/platelet count, rates of grades ≥3 and 4 hematologic treatment-emergent adverse events, dose interruptions, and dose reductions were lower for those who received ISD than for those who received FSD. CONCLUSIONS: In PRIMA, similar dose intensity, similar efficacy, and improved safety were observed with the ISD compared with the FSD regimen.

Niraparib (NIRA) is a highly selective inhibitor of poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase, PARP1 and PARP2, which play a role in DNA repair. The phase II QUEST study evaluated NIRA combinations in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who were positive for homologous recombination repair gene alterations and had progressed on 1 prior line of novel androgen receptor-targeted therapy. Results from the combination of NIRA with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, which disrupts androgen axis signaling through inhibition of CYP17, showed promising efficacy and a manageable safety profile in this patient population.

BACKGROUND: Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and BRCA alterations have poor outcomes. MAGNITUDE found patients with homologous recombination repair gene alterations (HRR+), particularly BRCA1/2, benefit from first-line therapy with niraparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP). Here we report longer follow-up from the second prespecified interim analysis (IA2). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with mCRPC were prospectively identified as HRR+ with/without BRCA1/2 alterations and randomized 1 : 1 to niraparib (200 mg orally) plus AAP (1000 mg/10 mg orally) or placebo plus AAP. At IA2, secondary endpoints [time to symptomatic progression, time to initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy, overall survival (OS)] were assessed. RESULTS: Overall, 212 HRR+ patients received niraparib plus AAP (BRCA1/2 subgroup, n = 113). At IA2 with 24.8 months of median follow-up in the BRCA1/2 subgroup, niraparib plus AAP significantly prolonged radiographic progression-free survival {rPFS; blinded independent central review; median rPFS 19.5 versus 10.9 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.55 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39-0.78]; nominal P = 0.0007} consistent with the first prespecified interim analysis. rPFS was also prolonged in the total HRR+ population [HR = 0.76 (95% CI 0.60-0.97); nominal P = 0.0280; median follow-up 26.8 months]. Improvements in time to symptomatic progression and time to initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy were observed with niraparib plus AAP. In the BRCA1/2 subgroup, the analysis of OS with niraparib plus AAP demonstrated an HR of 0.88 (95% CI 0.58-1.34; nominal P = 0.5505); the prespecified inverse probability censoring weighting analysis of OS, accounting for imbalances in subsequent use of poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors and other life-prolonging therapies, demonstrated an HR of 0.54 (95% CI 0.33-0.90; nominal P = 0.0181). No new safety signals were observed. CONCLUSIONS: MAGNITUDE, enrolling the largest BRCA1/2 cohort in first-line mCRPC to date, demonstrated improved rPFS and other clinically relevant outcomes with niraparib plus AAP in patients with BRCA1/2-altered mCRPC, emphasizing the importance of identifying this molecular subset of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the incidence and risk of hypertension associated with poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in cancer patients and provide reference for clinicians. METHODS: We used R software to conduct a meta-analysis of phase II/III randomized controlled trials (RCT) on PARP inhibitors for cancer treatment published in PubMed, Embase, Clinical Trials, Cochrane Library and Web of Science from inception to July 29th, 2022. RESULTS: We included 32 RCTs with 10,654 participants for this meta-analysis. For total PARP inhibitors, the incidence and risk ratio of all-grade hypertension were 12% and 1.22 (95% CI: 0.91-1.65, P = 0.19, I2 = 81%), and the incidence and risk ratio of grade 3-4 hypertension were 4% and 1.24 (95% CI: 0.74-2.08, P = 0.42, I2 = 68%). Compared with the control group, the niraparib group, olaparib 800 mg/day group, and olaparib plus cediranib group increased the risk of any grade and grade 3-4 hypertension, while the veliparib group and rucaparib group did not increase the risk of any grade and grade 3-4 hypertension, and olaparib 200 mg-600 mg/day group (exclude olaparib plus cediranib regime) reduced the risk of any grade and grade 3-4 hypertension. CONCLUSION: Olaparib 200-600 mg/day (excluding olaparib plus cediranib regimen) may be the most suitable PARP inhibitor for cancer patients with high risk of hypertension, followed by veliparib and rucaparib. Niraparib, olaparib 800 mg/day and olaparib combined with cediranib may increase the risk of developing hypertension in cancer patients, clinicians should strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure in cancer patients and give medication in severe cases.

INTRODUCTION: Standard treatment of newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian carcinoma (OC) consists of cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab. Maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors and olaparib-bevacizumab has recently shown to significantly improve progression-free survival in the first-line setting. Some practical aspects of maintenance therapy, however, are still poorly defined. AIM OF THE STUDY: To provide guidance to clinicians in the selection of maintenance therapy for newly diagnosed, advanced ovarian carcinoma. METHODS: A board of six gynecologic oncologists with expertise in the treatment of OC in Italy convened to address issues related to the new options for maintenance treatment. Based on scientific evidences, the board produced practice-oriented statements. Consensus was reached via a modified Delphi study that involved a panel of 22 experts from across Italy. RESULTS: Twenty-seven evidence- and consensus-based statements are presented, covering the following areas of interest: use of biomarkers (BRCA mutations and presence of homologous recombination deficiency); timing and outcomes of surgery; selection of patients eligible for bevacizumab; definition of response to treatment; toxicity and contraindications; evidence of synergy of bevacizumab plus PARP inhibitor. Two treatment algorithms are also included, for selecting maintenance therapy based on timing and outcomes of surgery, response to platinum-based chemotherapy and biomarker status. A score for the assessment of response to chemotherapy is proposed, but its validation is ongoing. CONCLUSIONS: We provide here consensus statements and treatment algorithms to guide clinicians in the selection of appropriate and personalized maintenance therapy in the first-line setting of advanced OC management.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of niraparib versus routine surveillance as maintenance therapy for patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer in China. METHOD: A three-state partitioned survival model that adopted a lifetime horizon with a 4-week cycle length was developed. Efficacy data were derived from the NORA study. Cost and utility data were obtained from published studies and online databases. The cost and health outcomes were discounted at an annual rate of 5%. In this analysis, the primary outcomes included quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). The willingness-to-pay (WTP) thresholds were set at 1 to 3 times the gross domestic product per capita of China in 2022 ($12,741 to $38,233/QALY). Sensitivity analyses were conducted to verify the robustness of the model results. RESULTS: In the base-case analysis, niraparib was not found to be cost-effective, with an ICER of $42,888/QALY compared with routine surveillance at the WTP thresholds. One-way deterministic sensitivity analyses indicated that the ICER value was most sensitive to the cost of subsequent treatment in placebo group. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested that at the WTP thresholds, the probability of niraparib being cost-effective was 2.9% to 50.1%. CONCLUSIONS: Niraparib improves the survival benefit of platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer patients. However, it seems to be less cost-effective, as it has higher costs than routine surveillance at the WTP thresholds. Reasonable dose reduction according to the patient's actual situation or lowering the price of niraparib can improve its cost-effectiveness.
