Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have transformed the therapeutic landscape for advanced ovarian cancer and expanded treatment options for other tumor types, including breast, pancreas, and prostate cancer. Yet, despite the success of PARP inhibitors in our current therapeutic armamentarium, not all patients benefit because of primary resistance, whereas different acquired resistance mechanisms can lead to disease progression on therapy. In addition, the toxicity profile of PARP inhibitors, primarily myelosuppression, has led to adverse events in a proportion of patients as monotherapy, and has limited the use of PARP inhibitors for certain rational combination strategies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy regimens. Currently approved PARP inhibitors are essentially equipotent against PARP1 and PARP2 enzymes. In this review, we describe the development of next-generation PARP1-selective inhibitors that have entered phase I clinical trials. These inhibitors have demonstrated increased PArily myelosuppression, has led to adverse events in a proportion of patients as monotherapy, and has limited the use of PARP inhibitors for certain rational combination strategies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapy regimens. Currently approved PARP inhibitors are essentially equipotent against PARP1 and PARP2 enzymes. In this review, we describe the development of next-generation PARP1-selective inhibitors that have entered phase I clinical trials. These inhibitors have demonstrated increased PARP1 inhibitory potency and exquisitely high PARP1 selectivity in preclinical studies-features that may lead to improved clinical efficacy and a wider therapeutic window. First-in-human clinical trials seeking to establish the safety, tolerability, and recommended phase II dose, as well as antitumor activity of these novel agents, have commenced. If successful, this next-generation of PARP1-selective agents promises to build on the succeses of current PARP inhibitor treatment paradigms in cancer medicine.
The use of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapies has seen substantial clinical success in oncology therapeutic development. Although multiple agents within these classes have achieved regulatory approval globally-in several malignancies in early and advanced stages-drug resistance remains an issue. Building on preclinical evidence, several early trials and late-phase studies are underway. This review explores the therapeutic potential of combination poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in solid tumors, including the scientific and therapeutic rationale, available clinical evidence, and considerations for future trial and biomarker development across different malignancies using ovarian and other solid cancer subtypes as key examples.

The introduction of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors has led to significant improvements in outcome for several cancer types, most notably high-grade serous ovarian cancer. However, in general, benefit is restricted to tumors characterized by either BRCA1/2 mutation or homologous recombination deficiency. Combination therapy offers the potential to overcome innate and acquired PARP inhibitor resistance by either working synergistically with PARP inhibitors or by targeting the homologous recombination repair pathway through an alternate strategy, to restore homologous recombination deficiency. selleck chemicals llc Several biological agents have been studied in combination with PARP inhibitors, including inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (vascular endothelial growth factor; bevacizumab, cediranib), AKT (capivasertib), PI3K inhibitors (buparlisib, alpelisib), epidermal growth factor receptor and BET inhibitors. In general, PARP inhibitor and biological agent combinations are well tolerated, and early daactor; bevacizumab, cediranib), AKT (capivasertib), PI3K inhibitors (buparlisib, alpelisib), epidermal growth factor receptor and BET inhibitors. In general, PARP inhibitor and biological agent combinations are well tolerated, and early data suggest that they are clinically effective in both BRCA1/2 mutant and wild-type cancers. In this review, we discuss multiple clinical trials that are underway examining the antitumor activity of the most promising combination strategies.
DNA damage response and repair (DDR) is responsible for ensuring genomic integrity. It is composed of intricate, complex pathways that detect various DNA insults and then activate pathways to restore DNA fidelity. Mutations in this network are implicated in many malignancies but can also be exploited for cancer therapies. The advent of inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase has led to the investigation of other DDR inhibitors and combinations to address high unmet needs in cancer therapeutics. link2 Specifically, regimens, often in combination with chemotherapy, radiation, or other DDR inhibitors, are being investigated. link3 This review will focus on 4 main DDR pathways-ATR/CHK1, ATM/CHK2, DNA-PKcs, and polymerase θ-and the current state of clinical research and use of the inhibitors of these pathways with other DDR inhibitors.

The use of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) exploits synthetic lethality in solid tumors with homologous recombination repair (HRR) defects. Significant clinical benefit has been established in breast and ovarian cancers harboring BRCA1/2 mutations, as well as tumors harboring characteristics of "BRCAness." However, the durability of treatment responses is limited, and emerging data have demonstrated the clinical challenge of PARPi resistance. With the expanding use of PARPi, the significance of PARP therapy in patients pretreated with PARPi remains in need of significant further investigation. Molecular mechanisms contributing to this phenomenon include restoration of HRR function, replication fork stabilization, BRCA1/2 reversion mutations, and epigenetic changes. Current studies are evaluating the utility of combination therapies of PARPi with cell cycle checkpoint inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, and epigenetic modifiern, BRCA1/2 reversion mutations, and epigenetic changes. Current studies are evaluating the utility of combination therapies of PARPi with cell cycle checkpoint inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway inhibitors, MEK inhibitors, and epigenetic modifiers to overcome this resistance. In this review, we address the mechanisms of PARPi resistance supported by preclinical models, examine current clinical trials applying combination therapy to overcome PARPi resistance, and discuss future directions to enhance the clinical efficacy of PARPi.
In this article, we highlight biomarkers for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) sensitivity and resistance and discuss their implications for the clinic. We review the predictive role of a range of DNA repair genes, genomic scars, mutational signatures, and functional assays available or in development. The biomarkers used for patient selection in the specific Food and Drug Administration-approved indications for breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer vary across tumor type and likely depend on disease-specific DNA repair deficiencies but also the specifics of the individual clinical trials that were conducted. Mutations in genes involved in homologous recombination and/or replication fork protection are synthetic lethal with PARPi. Cancers with homologous recombination deficiency exhibit high genomic instability, characterized by genome-wide loss of heterozygosity, among other genomic aberrations. Next-generation sequencing can identify multiple patterns of genomic changes including cocombination deficiency. Clinical trial evidence supports the use of BRCA mutation testing for patient selection, and for ovarian cancer, there are 3 commercial assays available that additionally incorporate genomic instability for identifying subgroups of patients that derive different magnitudes of benefit from PARPi therapy. Finally, we summarize new strategies for extending the benefit of PARPi therapy toward broader populations of patients through the use of novel biomarkers. Ultimately, design of a composite biomarker test combining multiple mutational signatures or development of a dynamic assay for functional assessments of homologous recombination may help improve the test accuracy for future patient stratification.
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine malignancy with high and rapid relapse rates and poor outcomes. Treatment for SCLC has historically been limited by the lack of targetable driver genomic lesions, however recent developments in the underpinnings of genomic instability in SCLC and understanding of its transcriptional subtypes have led to increased interest in the use of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as a rationale therapy. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors, historically designed to target BRCA1/2-mutated malignancies, capitalize on synthetic lethality in homologous recombination-deficient tumors. In this review, we outline the mechanistic rationale for the use of PARP inhibitors in treating SCLC and detail key clinical trials investigating their use in combination with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. We describe developments in the understanding of biomarkers for sensitivity to therapy and highlight further investigational directions for the use of PARP ctions for the use of PARP inhibitors in treating SCLC.
