In the treatment landscape of metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, the introduction of PARP inhibitors as a therapeutic option has led to progress, explained Maha Hussain, MD, in a presentation during the 38th Annual Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium.

A primary analysis from the phase 3 IPATential150 trial demonstrated the benefit of the addition of ipatasertib to abiraterone acetate and prednisone in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with PTEN loss, according to results presented at the 2020 ESMO Virtual Congress.

Updated findings from the randomized, open-label phase 3 PROfound trial indicate that olaparib induces a significantly longer duration of overall survival versus enzalutamide or abiraterone plus prednisone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer tumors with at least 1 alteration in BRCA1, BRCA2, or ATM and disease that has progressed during previous treatment with a next-generation hormonal agent.
