Elucidating acquired PARP inhibitor resistance in advanced prostate cancer
PARP inhibition (PARPi) has anti-tumor activity against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with homologous recombination repair (HRR) defects. However, mechanisms underlying PARPi resistance are not fully understood. While acquired mutations restoring BRCA genes are well documented, their c...

Zusammenfassung: | PARP inhibition (PARPi) has anti-tumor activity against castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with homologous recombination repair (HRR) defects. However, mechanisms underlying PARPi resistance are not fully understood. While acquired mutations restoring BRCA genes are well documented, their clinical relevance, frequency, and mechanism of generation remain unclear. Moreover, how resistance emerges in BRCA2 homozygously deleted (HomDel) CRPC is unknown. Evaluating samples from patients with metastatic CRPC treated in the TOPARP-B trial, we identify reversion mutations in most BRCA2/PALB2-mutated tumors (79%) by end of treatment. Among reversions mediated by frameshift deletions, 60% are flanked by DNA microhomologies, implicating POLQ-mediated repair. The number of reversions and time of their detection associate with radiological progression-free survival and overall survival (p |
