Impact of PARP inhibitor maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: A meta-analysis. by Banghyun Lee, Suk-Joon Chang, Byung Su Kwon, Joo-Hyuk Son, Myong Cheol Lim, Yun Hwan Kim, Shin-Wha Lee, Chel Hun Choi, Kyung Jin Eoh, Jung-Yun Lee, Dong Hoon Suh, Yong Beom Kim

“…The five-year overall survival (OS) was comparable in the two groups, but patients in the PARPi group with BRCAm had a significantly better five-year OS than those in the placebo group (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.74). In addition, the adverse event rate (≥ grade 3) was significantly higher in the PARPi group than in the placebo group (HR, 2.94; 95% CI, 1.13 to 7.63).…”
