Transient Response of Olaparib on Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma Harboring Multiple Homologous Recombinant Repair Gene Alterations.

ABSTRACT: Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma (PPAS) is a rare malignancy arising from mesenchymal pulmonary artery cells and mimics pulmonary embolism. Palliative chemotherapy such as anthracycline- or ifosfamide-based regimens and targeted therapy are the only options. However, the evidence of clinically beneficial systemic treatment is scarce. Here, we report a case of disseminated PPAS achieving clinical tumor response to olaparib based on comprehensive genetic profiling (CGP) showing genetic alterations involving DNA repair pathway. This provides supportive evidence that olaparib could be a promising therapeutic agent for patients with disseminated PPAS harboring actionable haploinsufficiency of DNA damage repair (DDR).

Project description:BackgroundThe Phase III PROfound study (NCT02987543) evaluated olaparib versus abiraterone or enzalutamide (control; randomized 2:1 to olaparib or control) in men with homologous recombination repair gene alterations and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose disease progressed on prior next-generation hormonal agent.MethodsWe present efficacy and safety data from an exploratory post hoc analysis of olaparib in the PROfound Asian subset. Analyses were not planned, alpha controlled or powered. Of 101 Asian patients enrolled in Japan (n=57), South Korea (n=29) and Taiwan (n=15), 66 and 35 patients received olaparib and control, respectively.ResultsRadiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS) favored olaparib versus control in Cohort A [rPFS 7.2 vs. 4.5 months, HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.29-1.21, P = 0.14 (nominal); OS 23.4 vs. 17.8 months, HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.40-1.74, P = 0.57 (nominal)] and Cohorts A+B [rPFS 5.8 vs. 3.5 months, HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.42-1.16, P = 0.13 (nominal); OS 18.6 vs. 16.2 months, HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.56-1.70, P = 0.9 (nominal)]. Olaparib showed greatest improvement in patients harboring BRCA alterations [rPFS 9.3 vs. 3.5 months, HR 0.17, 95% CI 0.06-0.49, P = 0.0003 (nominal); OS 26.8 vs. 14.3 months, HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.24-1.79, P = 0.34 (nominal)]. Safety data were consistent with the known profile of olaparib, with no new safety signals identified.ConclusionIn PROfound, there was a statistically significant improvement in outcomes reported in the global population of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and alterations in homologous recombination repair genes whose disease progressed on prior next-generation hormonal agent compared with control. For the subset of Asian patients reported here, exploratory analysis suggested that there was also an improvement in outcomes versus control. The safety and tolerability of olaparib in Asian patients were similar to that of the PROfound global population.Clinical trial numberClinicalTrials.gov NCT02987543.
