CE Information and Faculty Disclosures

  • TARGET AUDIENCE
    This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematologists, surgeons, radiation oncologists and scientific and research professionals involved in basic, translational and clinical cancer research or treatment.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    • Evaluate the recent FDA approval of PARP inhibitors for patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer harboring a germline BRCA mutation, and discern how these agents can be appropriately and safely integrated into routine clinical practice.
    • Appreciate available clinical trial data with FDA-approved PARP inhibitors for patients with ovarian cancer in different disease settings, and safely integrate these agents into routine clinical care.
    • Assess the similarities and differences between the commercially available and investigational PARP inhibitors to better understand the resultant activity and toxicities associated with these agents.
    • Appraise available data evaluating olaparib as maintenance therapy for patients with pancreatic cancer with BRCA mutations whose disease has not progressed on first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, and optimally incorporate this FDA-approved treatment strategy into current management algorithms.
    • Review published clinical research findings with PARP inhibitor monotherapy for appropriately selected patients with progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and identify individuals for whom treatment with these agents is appropriate.
    • Recall the design of ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel applications of PARP inhibitors alone or in combination with other systemic approaches (eg, immunotherapy, chemotherapy) for patients with DDR deficiencies, and counsel appropriate patients about availability and participation.
