Adjuvant Olaparib for Patients with <i>BRCA1</i> - or <i>BRCA2</i> -Mutated Breast Cancer

Abstract

Among patients with high-risk, HER2-negative early breast cancer and germline <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants, adjuvant olaparib after completion of local treatment and neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with significantly longer survival free of invasive or distant disease than was placebo. Olaparib had limited effects on global patient-reported quality of life. (Funded by the National Cancer Institute and AstraZeneca; OlympiA ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02032823.).
