{"title":"PARP Inhibitors for Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma: A Systematic Review of Efficacy and Safety","authors":"S. Crabb, Taha Khalid, Lois Woods, Geoff Frampton, Jonathan Shepherd","doi":"10.3233/blc-230071","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/blc-230071","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have activity in various cancers. Metastatic urothelial carcinoma (MUC) is platinum sensitive and a subset harbour DNA repair gene alterations. OBJECTIVE: To assess evidence for efficacy and safety of PARP inhibition for MUC. METHODS: This systematic review included randomised clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating PARP inhibitors as monotherapy, or in therapeutic combinations, compared to relevant comparators or best supportive care. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS). We searched MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE, ClinicalTrials.gov and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from March 2013 to March 2023. Each study was appraised using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 Tool. Study results were synthesised descriptively. Registration: PROSPERO CRD42023403145. RESULTS: From 247 identified reports, we included three phase 2 RCTs including 252 patients. Two RCTs assessed PARP inhibition in unselected patient groups (one first line platinum ineligible, one post chemotherapy maintenance) and found no evidence of efficacy. All three RCTs assessed subgroups defined by biomarker selection for somatic DNA repair defects. Two of these identified PFS benefit with PARP inhibition compared to a relevant comparator (one first line in combination with immunotherapy, one maintenance monotherapy). Safety outcomes were consistent with prior experience of PARP inhibitors. The risk of bias across the outcomes was generally low. CONCLUSIONS: PARP inhibitors lack efficacy for unselected MUC patients. Phase 2 RCTs support further investigation of PARP inhibition within biomarker-selected patient subsets. The optimal biomarker is not yet determined. Limitations in the current evidence relate to small sample sizes and low statistical power.","PeriodicalId":54217,"journal":{"name":"Bladder Cancer","volume":"34 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139005245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
