Background And Objective: Advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is enriched for alterations in DNA damage repair genes; poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are a class of drugs that have demonstrated effectiveness in PCa, particularly in tumors with alterations in BRCA1/2 and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes, acting through a synthetic lethal mechanism. To prevent or delay drug resistance, and to expand the patient population that can benefit from this class of drug, combination treatment strategies have been developed in preclinical and clinical studies.
Methods: This review examines the latest developments in clinical trials testing PARPi for advanced PCa and their emerging role in earlier disease settings.

European mistletoe extract (Iscador Qu) has been studied for decades, but it has not ceased to arouse scientific interest. The purpose was to investigate the impact of Iscador Qu on the antiproliferative potential of 11 standard chemotherapeutic agents on two breast cancer cell lines: MCF-7 low-metastatic and MDA-MB-231 high-metastatic and control cell lines (MCF-10A). MTT-dye reduction assay, FACS analysis, and PI staining were utilized.

Aims: Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) do not benefit from current cancer treatments, and their prognosis is dismal. This study aimed to investigate the potential synergistic effects of TS-2021, a third-generation oncolytic adenovirus, combined with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in GBM.
Methods: TS-2021's impact on p66shc-induced apoptosis, DNA damage response, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation was evaluated in GBM cells.

PROpel (NCT03732820) was a positive phase 3 trial that demonstrated a clinically significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival with olaparib plus abiraterone versus placebo plus abiraterone in first-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. For a subset of PROpel patients, steady-state concentrations of olaparib, abiraterone, and Δ-abiraterone were measured in blood samples collected before and at several time points after dose administration. The pharmacokinetics (PK) for each drug and metabolite were evaluated to determine whether any clinically relevant drug-drug interactions between olaparib and abiraterone occurred.
