Effectiveness and safety of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in cancer therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are a class of small-molecule drugs suppressing PARP enzymes activity, inducing the death of cells deficient in homologous recombination repair (HRR). HRR deficiency is common in tumor cells with BRCA gene mutation. Since their first clinical trial in 2003, PARP inhibitors have shown benefit in the treatment of HRR-deficient tumors. Recently, several randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have been conducted to investigate the potential benefit of administration of PAR… Show more

“…The safety profile of PARP inhibitors is generally consistent across the different agents, with the primary toxicity being clinically manageable myelosuppression. Additional toxicities include mild-to-moderate gastrointestinal toxicity (i.e., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain) and fatigue (16). Three of the 83 evaluable patients from our study discontinued therapy for a drug-related toxicity, suggesting that most toxicity could be managed with supportive care.…”

“…Unfortunately, the first PARP inhibitor in a clinical trial did not inhibit PARP at the clinical doses [ 239 ]. Nevertheless, a meta-analysis of clinical studies of BRCA-PARP synthetic lethality in combination with various chemotherapeutic agents supports the efficacy of PARP inhibitors in improving progression-free survival, though overall survival was not significantly improved [ 240 ]. Fewer studies have combined the synthetic lethal approach with radiotherapy (reviewed in [ 241 , 242 ]), and the outcomes have not been published yet.…”

“…Cells deficient in homologous recombination cannot accurately repair these breaks, leading to genetic instability, chromosome rearrangement, and cell death (2). This synthetic lethality has proven effective for improving progression-free survival in patients with homologous repair-deficient BRCA mutations (3). PARP inhibitors have also been shown to trap PARP-1 and PARP-2 on DNA (4), thereby forming PARP-DNA complexes which are thought to be responsible for the synergism seen with PARP inhibition and alkylating agents.…”
