At the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024, significant findings from the Phase I/II PETRA trial, led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, were presented. The trial focused on evaluating the first-in-class PARP1-selective inhibitor, saruparib, in patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient breast cancers.
Key Findings:
Expert Insights: As the lead investigator, Dr. Yap highlighted saruparib’s wide therapeutic index and its potential to allow patients to remain on treatment longer at an optimal dose. He emphasized the significance of its favorable safety profile compared to approved first-generation PARP inhibitors, which opens doors for rational combination strategies and further clinical evaluation, including in Phase III trials.

Conclusion: The PETRA trial’s findings underscore saruparib’s potential as a promising therapeutic option for patients with HRR-deficient breast cancers. Its encouraging efficacy, favorable safety profile, and selective targeting of PARP1 represent significant advancements in the field of precision oncology. Moving forward, ongoing research and clinical trials will continue to explore saruparib’s role in improving outcomes for patients with breast cancer and potentially other malignancies characterized by DNA repair deficiencies.
