- Prostate cancer (PCa) is a major health issue for men, being the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death, particularly affecting those with metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC).
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of four PARP inhibitors (olaparib, niraparib, rucaparib, and talazoparib) in treating mCRPC patients through indirect comparisons, addressing a gap in clinical knowledge.
- A systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) were conducted using comprehensive literature searches of multiple databases, ultimately analyzing six high-quality clinical trials that included over 3,200 participants to assess key outcomes like survival rates and adverse effects.
