Efficacy of Olaparib in Advanced Cancers Occurring in Patients With Germline Mutations or Somatic Tumor Mutations in Homologous Recombination Genes

Summary

At present targeted therapy with the PARP inhibitor olaparib has become standard of care in advanced platinum sensitive BRCA1/2 mutant ovarian cancer. The key in this sensitivity is the loss of homologous recombination (HR) function. The current project aims to treat patients with any type of cancer carrying in their germline a mutation in genes that generate such an homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) or have an acquired somatic mutation in their tumor with the targeted PARP inhibitor olaparib. The project would thus bring access to a targeted drug matched to the genomic profile of the tumor of these patients and provide oncologists with information regarding efficacy and safety of olaparib in these patients. This evidence could then later lead to a more routine regulatory access.
