Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)
This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that BRCA2 pathogenic variants, HER2-negative status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Olaparib in patients with Invasive Breast Carcinoma.
This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Canada:
LYNPARZA (olaparib) is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm), HER2- negative metastatic breast cancer who have previously been treated with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting. Patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer should have progressed on or be considered inappropriate for endocrine therapy. Germline BRCA mutation must be confirmed before LYNPARZA treatment is initiated.
