Understanding and Optimising PARP Inhibitors for mBC

PARP Inhibitors in mBC: the role of Real World Evidence

It is important to test early for gBRCA mutations to inform treatment planning^1,2

Patients with BRCA-mutated HER2- LA/mBC received more chemotherapy-based combination regimens and experienced more adverse events than patients with BRCA wild-type^3*

Many patients are at risk

A retrospective real-world analysis of patients with gBRCA-mutated HER2- LA/mBC showed:^4†

37%

had no known family history of BRCA-related cancers

65%

had HR+/HER2- disease

55 y

mean age

gBRCA testing remains low: only 1 of 4 HER2- LA/mBC patients received testing in the EU^5‡

Testing for gBRCA mutations in patients with mBC helps inform treatment planning^1,2

TNBC

HR+/HER2-

TALZENNA^®is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with germline BRCA1/2-mutations, who have HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients should have been previously treated with an anthracycline and/or a taxane in the (neo)adjuvant, locally advanced or metastatic setting unless patients were not suitable for these treatments. Patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer should have been treated with a prior endocrine-based therapy, or be considered unsuitable for endocrine-based therapy.⁶

BRCA=breast cancer susceptibility gene; ESMO=European Society for Medical Oncology; gBRCA=germline breast cancer susceptibility gene; HER2-=human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative; HR+=hormone receptor-positive; LA/mBC=locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer; mBC=metastatic breast cancer; NCCN=National Comprehensive Cancer Network; PARP=poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase; PFS=progression-free survival; TNBC=triple-negative breast cancer.

According to a retrospective real-world analysis of BRCA1/2 testing (somatic and/or germline), treatment patterns, and outcomes among 6161 HER2-LA/mBC patients in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, and the US between 2015 and 2017.³

According to a retrospective real-world analysis of patient demographics, treatment patterns, and safety outcomes among 512 patients with BRCA1/2-mutated HER2- LA/mBC in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the US between September 2019 and April 2020.⁴

According to a retrospective real-world analysis of gBRCA1/2 testing among 2624 HER2- LA/mBC patients in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Israel, and the US between 2019 and 2020.⁵
