Olaparib is a selective and potent inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, PARP1 and PARP2.[L41100, L40908, L43792] PARP inhibitors represent a novel class of anti-cancer therapy and they work by taking advantage of a defect in DNA repair in cancer cells with BRCA mutations and inducing cell death. Olaparib is used to treat a number of BRCA-associated tumours, including ovarian cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer.[L41100, L40908, L43792] It was first approved by the FDA and EU in December 2014, and by Health Canada in April 2016.
In April 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Swiss company Helsinn approved the intravenous formulation of AKYNZEO® (NEPA, a fixed antiemetic combination of fosnetupitant, 235mg, and palonosetron, 0.25mg) as an alternative treatment option for patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting . Fosnetupitant is the pro-drug form of netupitant [FDA label]. Generally, 25% to 30% of patients with a diagnosis of cancer receive chemotherapy as a treatment modality and 70% to 80% of these patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment may experience nausea and vomiting as major side effects. Considered one of the most distressing side effects of chemotherapy, nausea and vomiting has an immense impact on the quality of life of patients receiving certain antineoplastic therapies .
