Abstract

Background: Pathogenic HRR gene mutations may confer sensitivity to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and/or platinum chemotherapy (chemo). While pts harboring mutations in BRCA1/2 appear to benefit from these DNA damaging therapeutics, outcomes data for those with non-BRCA1/2 mutations are less robust. We evaluated outcomes in men with HRR gene-mutated PC who received treatment with PARPi and/or platinum-based chemo stratified by type of HRR alteration. Methods: Retrospective data from the PROMISE Consortium was utilized (PMID: 34363009). PC pts with pathogenic HRR mutations who received PARPi and/or platinum-based chemo were included. Differences in PSA progression-free survival (PFS), clinical/radiographic PFS (rPFS), and overall survival (OS) between those with BRCA1/2 mutations (Cohort A) and those with mutations in HRR genes that do not directly interact with the BRCA complex (Cohort B: ATM, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL) were evaluated. We also evaluated outcomes in pts with HRR gene mutations known to interact with the BRCA complex aside from BRCA1/2 (Cohort C: RAD51B/C/D, RAD54L2, BARD1, GEN1, PALB2, FANCA, BRIP1). Results: Of 361 pts identified with HRR gene alterations, 89 received PARPi and 70 received platinum-based chemo. Prior therapy and metastatic disease sites were similar between cohorts. PSA PFS, rPFS, and OS were significantly improved in Cohort A vs. Cohort B with PARPi but not platinum-based chemo (Table). Sample size in cohort C was too small to allow for statistical comparison, although PSA PFS, PFS and OS were reasonably long. Conclusions: PC pts with BRCA1/2 mutations had improved outcomes to PARPi compared to those with mutations in HRR genes not directly interacting with the BRCA complex. Platinum-based chemo appeared effective regardless of which HRR gene was affected.
