Abstract
Preliminary results from TRITON2 demonstrate efficacy of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor rucaparib in ~50% of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and inactivation of BRCA1/BRCA2. However, those with ATM and CDK12 mutations do not seem to benefit. An improved homologous recombination deficiency test must be developed and alternative treatments defined for these subsets of patients.
