Report excerpt

Adding the PARP inhibitor talazoparib to enzalutamide improved prostate-specific antigen response in patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in the randomized phase 2 ZZ-FIRST trial. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of paired biopsies showed that androgen receptor inhibition suppresses homologous recombination repair-related programs, and this suppression correlated with proliferation arrest rather than functional HRR deficiency.

    Talazoparib plus enzalutamide in high-volume metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer: a randomized phase 2 trial

    Adding the PARP inhibitor talazoparib to enzalutamide improved prostate-specific antigen response in patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in the randomized phase 2 ZZ-FIRST trial. Spatial transcriptomic analysis of paired biopsies showed that androgen receptor inhibition suppresses homologous recombination repair-related programs, and this suppression correlated with proliferation arrest rather than functional HRR deficiency.

    Efficacy of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in triple negative breast cancer cells and synergy with PARP inhibitor talazoparib

    In TNBC cells, TTFields upregulate p21(WAF1)/CDKN1A independently of TP53 status. Combination with the PARP inhibitor talazoparib further enhances p21 expression, induces γH2AX-mediated DNA damage, and downregulates PDL-1. Both treatments trigger cell death via PARP cleavage while reducing anti-apoptotic proteins including p-STAT3, STAT3, and MCL-1.

    Targeting ribosome biogenesis sensitizes PARPi-resistant triple-negative breast cancer

    Inhibiting ribosome biogenesis with BMH-21 resensitizes PARPi-resistant triple-negative breast cancer to olaparib. The drug combination was synergistic in 4 PARPi-resistant cell lines and in 3 BRCA wild-type TNBC cell lines with intrinsic PARPi resistance, but not in parental cells. In MDAMB231 cells, the combination increased γH2AX-positive cells up to 7.3-fold, SA-β-gal staining 5.6-fold and p21 3.6-fold, findings mirrored with CX-5461. Patient cohort data linked ribosomal pathway activity to MYC, proliferation, DNA damage and senescence.
