Concurrent Olaparib and Radiotherapy in Patients With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: The Phase 1 Olaparib and Radiation Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Trial.

Importance: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are sensitive to poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors used as radiosensitizers. Whether combining PARP inhibitors with radiotherapy in patients with TNBC would enhance the biological effectiveness of the irradiation and improve locoregional control is unclear.

Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of PARP inhibition with olaparib used concurrently with radiotherapy in patients with TNBC with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Combination of Olaparib with radiotherapy for triple-negative breast cancers: One-year toxicity report of the RADIOPARP Phase I trial.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are sensitive to PARP1 inhibitors in vitro. The combination of Olaparib and radiotherapy for TNBC is currently evaluated in the Phase I RADIOPARP trial. RADIOPARP is a monocentric prospective open-label Phase I dose-escalation trial evaluating the combination of breast radiotherapy and Olaparib in TNBC patients with inflammatory, locoregionally advanced or metastatic disease, or with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

[Consent or the breadcrumb trail of care].

Consent must be sought by the doctor and caregivers on the basis of clinical insight. The argumentation must be coherent and well thought out, in order to facilitate the patient's choice. The question of consent is more important in psychiatry because of the different pathologies.
