    Olapali is a "first-in-class" PARP inhibitor jointly developed by AstraZeneca and MSD.


    Olapali can treat a variety of cancers carrying germline BRCA mutations, mainly relying on the important principle of "synthetic lethality" in cancer treatment, which means that when the two signal pathways of cancer cells are inhibited, it will cause cell death.


    This time, published in The Lancet-Oncology is a phase 3 clinical trial called SOLO2 (ENGOT-Ov21), which aims to evaluate olaparib monotherapy for patients with BRCA-mutated platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer Efficacy.


    The median follow-up time was 65.


    The researchers said that compared with placebo, olaparib can prolong the median overall survival by 12.
