Updated analysis – OlympiA study: Chance of cure in early and locally advanced gBRCA-associated breast cancer

https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2023-10-51-57

Abstract

PARP inhibitors have been successfully used in the treatment of BRCA-associated metastatic breast cancer in recent years. Adjuvant therapy for gBRCAm carriers with HER 2-negative high-risk early-stage breast cancer has become a new indication for the use of olaparib.

This publication highlights the results of an updated analysis of the OlympiA trial that has changed clinical practice. Adjuvant treatment with olaparib for 1 year signifiantly increased survival rates. Four-year IDFS for the olaparib group was 82.7 % vs 75.4 % for placebo group.

Four-year OS was 89.8 % in the olaparib group and 86.4 % in the placebo group. The treatment has a favorable safety profie and does not reduce quality of life. Despite impressive results the OlympiA study raises many questions about the possibilities of integrating PARP inhibitors into modern standards for the treatment of early breast cancer. The main points of contention and possible ways to resolve them are discussed in this review.
