Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) continues to be a very aggressive subtype with few targeted therapy options. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have been promising therapeutic strategies, each of which targets different vulnerabilities in TNBC cells. ADCs like sacituzumab govitecan (SG) and datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) target cytotoxic payloads with specificity, whereas PARPis like olaparib, rucaparib, niraparib, and talazoparib cause synthetic lethality in homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient tumors. Recent clinical trials of SEASTAR and PETRA have evaluated ADC-PARPi combinations to enhance anti-tumor activity through DNA damage induction with the prevention of its repair. Early data demonstrate enhanced therapeutic outcomes, especially in BRCA-mutated and HRD-positive TNBC. Myelosuppression and adaptation of dosing regimens remain challenges to be addressed. Future directions include biomarker-driven patient selection, combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and advancement in next-generation ADCs. The synergistic potential of ADC-PARPi combinations provides a new avenue for overcoming TNBC resistance, enhancing treatment outcomes, and widening therapeutic strategies for this challenging disease.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
