From Clinical Trials to Clinical Implications: PARP Inhibitor Combinations in Advanced Prostate Cancer

To participate in this activity, please:

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a heterogeneous disease with high disease burden and poor outcomes despite androgen deprivation therapy. This activity by Neeraj Agarwal, MD, provides strategies for germline genetic testing and somatic testing to best inform treatment. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy provides a unique approach to treatment. Dr. Agarwal reviews safety and efficacy findings from recent clinical trials for the 2 PARP inhibitors, olaparib and rucaparib, approved in the United States for mCRPC. He also shares observations regarding PARP inhibitors in combination with other therapies.
