PARP Inhibitors as Maintenance Therapy for Metastatic CRPC
Season 1, Episode 46, Apr 11, 2022, 01:00 PM
This week, CancerNetwork® spoke with Muhammad Niazi, MD, resident in internal medicine at Staten Island University Hospital, and Alexander Bershadskiy, MD, attending physician at Staten Island University Hospital, about a meta-analysis published in ONCOLOGY titled, “Efficacy of PARP Inhibitors as Maintenance Therapy for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.”
The final analysis evaluated 3 randomized clinical trials. A fixed model showed a statistically significant improvement in overall survival for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with PARP inhibitors.
The authors provided a detailed background on PARP inhibitors and further detailed the results of this research, focusing on survival increases with PARP inhibitor treatment for this patient population.
