TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is intended for medical oncologists, hematology-oncology fellows and other healthcare providers involved in the treatment of prostate cancer.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Recognize the frequency of BRCA1/2 and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations in patients with prostate cancer, and develop a rational clinical algorithm to guide the use, selection and timing of HRR mutational analysis.
- Assess the pharmacologic, pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic similarities and differences among the approved and investigational PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer to better understand the activity and toxicities associated with these agents.
- Understand the rationale for combining PARP inhibitors with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) for patients with prostate cancer.
- Evaluate published research findings with PARP inhibitors in combination with ARPIs for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and identify patients for whom these regimens would be appropriate.
- Review clinical trial results leading to the FDA approval of PARP inhibitors as monotherapy and in combination with ARPIs for patients with BRCA1/2-mutated hormone-sensitive metastatic prostate cancer, and discern how to optimally incorporate this strategy into current clinical management algorithms.
- Recognize the potential side effects of PARP inhibitor-based therapy for prostate cancer, and develop strategies to prevent, mitigate and manage toxicities.
