ASCO Annual Meeting 2017 - In the Plenary session, late breaking results from the Phase III OLYMPIAD trial, which evaluated Lynparza in comparison to “physician’s choice” chemotherapy (capecitabine, vinorelbine, eribulin) in 302 metastatic HER2- breast cancer patients with deleterious or suspected gBRCA mutations were presented. These results represent the first positive Phase III trial for a PARP inhibitor in breast cancer and the discussant, Dr. Allison Kurian, had an overall positive outlook stating that these results ”are practice-changing.”
