Project description:Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as promising therapy in cancers with homologous recombination repair deficiency. However, efficacy is limited by both intrinsic and acquired resistance. The Olaparib Combinations basket trial explored olaparib alone and in combination with other homologous recombination-directed targeted therapies. Here, we report the results of the arm in which olaparib was combined with the orally bioavailable ataxia telangiectasia and RAD3-related inhibitor ceralasertib in patients with relapsed or refractory cancers harboring DNA damage response and repair alterations, including patients with BRCA-mutated PARP inhibitor-resistant high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).Patients and methodsGermline and somatic mutations had to be deleterious by COSMIC or ClinVar for eligibility. Olaparib was administered at 300 mg twice daily and ceralasertib at 160 mg daily on days 1-7 in 28-day cycles until progression or unacceptable toxicities. Primary end points were confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) rates and clinical benefit rate (CBR; CR + PR + stable disease [SD] at 16 weeks).ResultsTwenty-five patients were enrolled, with median four prior therapies. Five patients required dose reductions for myelosuppression. Overall response rate was 8.3% and CBR was 62.5% among the entire cohort. Two of five patients with tumor harboring ATM mutation achieved CR or SD ongoing at 24+ months, respectively (CBR 40%). Of seven patients with PARP inhibitor-resistant HGSOC, one achieved PR (-90%) and five had SD ranging 16-72 weeks (CBR 86%).ConclusionOlaparib with ceralasertib demonstrated preliminary activity in ATM-mutated tumors and in PARP inhibitor-resistant BRCA1/2-mutated HGSOC. These data warrant additional studies to further confirm activity in these settings.

Project description:BackgroundThe Phase III PROfound study (NCT02987543) evaluated olaparib versus abiraterone or enzalutamide (control; randomized 2:1 to olaparib or control) in men with homologous recombination repair gene alterations and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose disease progressed on prior next-generation hormonal agent.MethodsWe present efficacy and safety data from an exploratory post hoc analysis of olaparib in the PROfound Asian subset. Analyses were not planned, alpha controlled or powered. Of 101 Asian patients enrolled in Japan (n=57), South Korea (n=29) and Taiwan (n=15), 66 and 35 patients received olaparib and control, respectively.ResultsRadiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) favored olaparib versus control in Cohort A [rPFS 7.2 vs. 4.5 months, HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.29-1.21, P = 0.14 (nominal); OS 23.4 vs. 17.8 months, HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.40-1.74, P = 0.57 (nominal)] and Cohorts A+B [rPFS 5.8 vs. 3.5 months, HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.42-1.16, P = 0.13 (nominal); OS 18.6 vs. 16.2 months, HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.56-1.70, P = 0.9 (nominal)]. Olaparib showed greatest improvement in patients harboring BRCA alterations [rPFS 9.3 vs. 3.5 months, HR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06-0.49, P = 0.0003 (nominal); OS 26.8 vs. 14.3 months, HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.24-1.79, P = 0.34 (nominal)]. Safety data were consistent with the known profile of olaparib, with no new safety signals identified.ConclusionIn PROfound, there was a statistically significant improvement in outcomes reported in the global population of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and alterations in homologous recombination repair genes whose disease progressed on prior next-generation hormonal agent compared with control. For the subset of Asian patients reported here, exploratory analysis suggested that there was also an improvement in outcomes versus control. The safety and tolerability of olaparib in Asian patients were similar to that of the PROfound global population.Clinical trial numberClinicalTrials.gov NCT02987543.

Project description:Primary sarcomas that arise from major blood vessels are exceedingly rare, and some of the published cases have been autopsy reports. Most patients are adults. We report a case of pulmonary artery sarcoma in a 77-year-old man who presented with acute onset of dyspnea. Magnetic resonance imaging of the chest revealed a large mass within the pulmonary trunk and its main branches. Because massive pulmonary embolism was suspected, both anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapies were initiated. The patient responded poorly to these therapies, which then necessitated resection of both the mass and the pulmonary valve. A bioprosthetic porcine valve replaced the native valve, and we reconstructed the right ventricular outflow tract with a Dacron patch. Histopathologic examination revealed a high-grade sarcoma with focal myogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7. He was subsequently treated with chemotherapy and radiation and continued to show no evidence of disease. The diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma should be suspected in patients who present with manifestations of pulmonary embolism, especially when there is no evidence of deep venous thrombosis and poor response to anticoagulant therapy. Multimodal therapy can provide prolonged survival.

Project description:ObjectivePulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is an exceedingly rare and insufficiently investigated disease, leading to uncertain in its optimal management. This study aims to present our institutional experience and the outcomes of pulmonary endarterectomy for PAS.MethodsWe gathered clinical characteristics, intraoperative data, postoperative outcomes, and prognosis information from PAS patients who underwent surgical treatment at our institution between December 2016 and September 2023.ResultsA total of 20 patients with PAS underwent pulmonary endarterectomy. The median age of the patients was 52 (IQR 45, 57) years, with 12 patients (60%) being female. Intimal sarcoma was confirmed in 19 patients, while the remaining one was diagnosed with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. The perioperative mortality rate was three cases (15%). Follow-up was conducted for a median duration of 14 months (range: 1-61). During the follow-up period, 11 patients experienced recurrence or metastasis, and 5 patients succumbed to the disease. The estimated cumulative survival rates at 1 and 2 years for all 20 patients were 66.4% and 55.3%, respectively.ConclusionPulmonary endarterectomy emerges as a palliative but effective approach for managing PAS, particularly when complemented with postoperative therapies such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy, which collectively contribute to achieving favorable long-term survival outcomes.

Project description:Therapeutic resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy is a major challenge for prostate cancer therapy. The present study aims to explore the effects of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib and STL127705 on castration-resistant prostate cancer. Cell lines including PC-3 and enzalutamide-resistant LNCaP (erLNCaP) cells were treated with enzalutamide, enzalutamide plus olaparib, enzalutamide plus STL127705, or the combination of olaparib, STL127705, and enzalutamide. Cell viabilities and cell apoptosis were determined using the sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide staining, respectively. Flow cytometry assay was applied to determine γH2AX intensity and the percentage of homologous recombination and non-homologous end-joining. Besides, a tumor-bearing animal model was established and treated with drugs as for cell lines. STL127705 and olaparib enhanced cytotoxicity of enzalutamide on erLNCaP and PC-3 cells. Furthermore, STL127705 and olaparib promoted enzalutamide-induced cell apoptosis and enhanced γH2AX intensity. In vitro study also showed that the combination of STL127705, olaparib, and enzalutamide inhibited homologous recombination and non-homologous end-joining repair systems in PC-3 cells. In vivo study demonstrated that the combination of STL127705, olaparib, and enzalutamide exhibited a significant anti-tumor effect. STL127705 combined with olaparib have a potential therapeutic effect on castration-resistant prostate cancer through inhibiting homologous recombination and non-homologous end-joining repair.

Project description:Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have shown great promise for treating BRCA-deficient tumors. However, over 40% of BRCA-deficient patients fail to respond to PARPi. Here, we report that thioparib, a next-generation PARPi with high affinity against multiple PARPs, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP7, displays high antitumor activities against PARPi-sensitive and -resistant cells with homologous recombination (HR) deficiency both in vitro and in vivo. Thioparib treatment elicited PARP1-dependent DNA damage and replication stress, causing S-phase arrest and apoptosis. Conversely, thioparib strongly inhibited HR-mediated DNA repair while increasing RAD51 foci formation. Notably, the on-target inhibition of PARP7 by thioparib-activated STING/TBK1-dependent phosphorylation of STAT1, triggered a strong induction of type I interferons (IFNs), and resulted in tumor growth retardation in an immunocompetent mouse model. However, the inhibitory effect of thioparib on tumor growth was more pronounced in PARP1 knockout mice, suggesting that a specific PARP7 inhibitor, rather than a pan inhibitor such as thioparib, would be more relevant for clinical applications. Finally, genome-scale CRISPR screening identified PARP1 and MCRS1 as genes capable of modulating thioparib sensitivity. Taken together, thioparib, a next-generation PARPi acting on both DNA damage response and antitumor immunity, serves as a therapeutic potential for treating hyperactive HR tumors, including those resistant to earlier-generation PARPi.

Project description:PurposeWith the broad use of next-generation sequencing assays, it has become clear that mutations in DNA repair genes are more commonly found than previously reported. In advanced prostate cancer patients with BRCA1/2 or ATM mutations, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition (PARPi) causes an increased overall survival advantage compared with patients without these mutations. This review explores the advantages and limitations of PARPi treatment and its use beyond BRCA1/2-altered tumors. Furthermore, it discusses the benefits of current biomarkers and what role functional biomarkers and organoids may play in addressing the involvement of homologous recombination repair mutations in tumor development and progression.MethodsA systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE, National Library of Medicine, and ClinicalTrials.gov to identify studies published between January 1, 2016, and August 31, 2021. The search strategy incorporated terms for PARPi, BRCA, DNA damage, homologous recombination, organoids, patient-derived organoids, biomarker AND prostate cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer.ResultsA total of 261 records remained after duplicate removal, 69 of which were included in the qualitative synthesis.ConclusionTo improve the outcome of targeted therapy and increase sensitivity of tumor detection, patients should be repeatedly screened for DNA repair gene alterations and biomarkers. Future clinical studies should explore the use of PARPi beyond BRCA1/2 mutations and focus on finding new synthetically lethal interactions.

Project description:Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma (PAIS) is a very rare tumour. The prevalence of PAIS is estimated to be between 0.001% and 0.003%, but this may be an underestimation because of potential misdiagnosis due to its similar presentation to that of pulmonary thromboembolism. The prognosis is very poor, with median overall survival between 11 and 18 months. We report a case of a 36-year-old man who presented to our cardiac surgery clinic reporting nonspecific symptoms and was found to have PAIS requiring surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy. We outline the radiologic features, pathologic characteristics, surgical approach, and chemotherapy treatment utilized.
