A study finds niraparib slows advanced prostate cancer in men with BRCA/HRR gene mutations.
A global study led by University College London finds that adding the drug niraparib to standard treatment significantly slows prostate cancer progression in men with specific genetic mutations, particularly in BRCA1/BRCA2 and other homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes.
Among 696 men with advanced prostate cancer, the combination reduced progression risk by 37% overall and 48% in those with BRCA mutations.
While survival data remain immature, results favor the combination.
Researchers support wider genetic testing at diagnosis to identify patients who may benefit most, and experts recommend discussing the treatment’s benefits against side effects for eligible patients.
The study was published in Nature Medicine.
