Abstract
Limitations of poly adp‒ribose polymerase parp inhibitors: PARPis have demonstrated efficacy in BRCA-mutated cancers deficient in homologous recombination repair. Furthermore, PARPis have shown efficacy in BRCA-wild-type cancers with a homologous recombination deficiency phenotype known as BRCAness. Current clinically approved PARPis inhibit both PARP1 and PARP2, and their clinical promise is limited by toxicity, resistance, and a lack of combination partners.
Recent findings: PARP2 inhibition is associated with hematological toxicity, affecting the tolerability and efficacy of monotherapy and combination therapies. Furthermore, synthetic lethality in BRCA-mutated cancers depends mostly on PARP1, whereas PARP2 is not essential. These findings promoted the development of next-generation PARPis with greater selectivity for PARP1 than for PARP2.
Summary: In this review, we discuss the next-generation PARPis that target PARP1 and show promise in terms of improved safety, tolerability, pharmacological profiles, and efficacy compared to existing clinically approved PARPis. These next-generation PARP1-selective inhibitors hold significant promises for improving the survival and outcomes of cancer patients.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings related to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of breast cancer. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those with the disease. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as prevention, systemic therapy, and translational research. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
