Test for BRCA1/2 and other HRR mutations* to help identify appropriate patients with mCRPC for LYNPARZA combination therapy or monotherapy1

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend testing for BRCA1/2 and other HRR mutations for patients with mCRPC2

Use FDA-approved companion diagnostics to help determine eligibility for olaparib (LYNPARZA) in mCRPC.1

WHO TO TEST AND WHEN TO TEST1-6:

Germline testing is recommended in patients with a personal history of prostate cancer in the following scenarios: Patients with metastatic, regional (node positive), very high-risk localized, or high-risk localized prostate cancer.

Tumor testing: Metastatic prostate cancer (recommended); regional prostate cancer (consider).

Both somatic and germline BRCA mutations may have prognostic and/or treatment implications in mCRPC. Germline BRCA mutations may also inform genetic risk for patients and their families.

Where testing fails, the tissue sample is unavailable/insufficient, or when germline testing is negative, consider using an alternative test, if available.

  • *Other HRR gene mutations detected: ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL, PALB2, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, and RAD54L.
  • Detects both somatic and germline alterations but does not distinguish between the two on reports.

WHY TEST:

Combination therapy (PROpel trial): BRCA1/2 gene profile in patients tested (n=796)1,7-9

Among patients with mCRPC who were tested for BRCA1/2 mutations* based on aggregate samples in the PROpel study:

~11%

of patients with mCRPC in the PROpel trial had a BRCA1/2 mutation

mCRPC Testing PROpel Trial Pie Chart

In PROpel, BRCA gene mutation (BRCAm) status was assessed after randomization and before primary analysis by both
NGS-based tumor tissue and ctDNA tests. BRCAm classification criteria in line with the FDA-approved assays were used to determine the deleterious and suspected deleterious somatic or germline mutation status of patients.

  • *BRCA mutations were identified based on HRR testing using a ctDNA-based test (FoundationOne® Liquid CDx) or a tumor tissue test (FoundationOne® CDx).

Monotherapy (PROfound trial): HRR gene profile in patients with biomarker status reported (n=2792)1,10,11

Among patients with mCRPC who were prospectively screened and had biomarker status reported for BRCA1/2 and other HRR gene alterations in PROfound:

~28%

of patients with mCRPC in the PROfound trial
had an HRR gene mutation, such as a BRCA1/2 or ATM mutation

mCRPC Testing PROfound Trial Pie Chart

In PROfound, patients with HRR gene mutations were identified by tissue-based testing using the Foundation Medicine FoundationOne® clinical trial HRR assay performed at a central laboratory. Determination of deleterious or suspected deleterious somatic or germline HRR mutation status in line with the FDA-approved mutation classification and testing criteria for the Foundation Medicine F1CDx tissue-based assay and assessment of the germline BRCA status using the Myriad BRACAnalysis CDx® blood-based assay was performed retrospectively.

  • HRR gene mutations (BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL, PALB2, PPP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, and/or RAD54L) were identified by tissue-based testing using the Foundation Medicine FoundationOne® clinical trial HRR assay performed at a central laboratory. No patients were enrolled who had mutations in 2 of the 15 prespecified genes: FANCL and RAD51C.
  • Although patients with PPP2R2A gene mutations were enrolled in the PROfound trial, LYNPARZA monotherapy is not indicated for the treatment of patients with this gene mutation due to an unfavorable risk-benefit.
