PARP catalytic cycle Tens of thousands of endogenous SSBs form transiently every day, and PARP1 and PARP2 are critical for their repair
PARP inhibitor and Homologous Recombination Repair DNA SSBs occur all the time in cells and PARP detects and repairs them During the replication process unrepaired SSBs are converted into DSBs Replicating cells Survival Normal cell Repair by Homologous Recombination No effective repair (No HR pathway) Cell death Cancer cell with HRD Tumour specific killing by PARP Inhibitors
PARP inhibitor Trapping (vii) Several clinical PARPi, each of which binds the catalytic site, prevent the release of PARP1 from DNA, “trapping” PARP1 at the site of damage, potentially removing PARP1 from its normal catalytic cycle.

…what if gBRCA is wild-type? Is HRD a biomarker?

Summary PARPi therapy is one of the most important advances for ovarian cancer patients in the last decades Maintenance with PARPi improves significantly the PFS and the time to subsequent therapy in platinum-responders patients in front line and in the recurrent setting. BRCA mutated patients benefit most, but no biomarker is good enough to rule out the benefit in BRCAwt patients as maintenance in recurrent setting Several ongoing trials are addressing different combinations in different settings
