Abstract

The definition of the BRCAness phenotype in PDAC may be limited to patients harboring DDR-GAs. In these 2 phase 2 nonrandomized clinical trials, olaparib was well tolerated and showed limited antitumor activity in patients with advanced, platinum-sensitive PDAC with DDR-GAs. These conclusions suggest a potential therapeutic opportunity for a subset of patients with PDAC.
