PARP inhibitors have potential roles in the treatment of myeloid diseases, especially in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with specific genetic characteristics. They may enhance the efficacy of other agents in AML but long-term use is associated with an increased risk of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML.
Simple Summary Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which are medications approved to treat various solid tumors, including breast, prostate, ovarian, and prostate cancers, are being examined in hematological malignancies. This review summarizes the potential role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of myeloid diseases, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We review ongoing clinical studies investigating the safety and efficacy of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of AML, focusing on specific molecular and genetic AML subgroups that could be particularly sensitive to PARP inhibitor treatment. We also discuss reports describing an increased risk of treatment-related myeloid neoplasms in patients receiving PARP inhibitors for solid tumors. Despite recent discoveries and therapeutic advances in aggressive myeloid neoplasms, there remains a pressing need for improved therapies. For instance, in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), while most patients achieve a complete remission with conventional chemotherapy or the combination of a hypomethylating agent and venetoclax, de novo or acquired drug resistance often presents an insurmountable challenge, especially in older patients. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, PARP1 and PARP2, are involved in detecting DNA damage and repairing it through multiple pathways, including base excision repair, single-strand break repair, and double-strand break repair. In the context of AML, PARP inhibitors (PARPi) could potentially exploit the frequently dysfunctional DNA repair pathways that, similar to deficiencies in homologous recombination in BRCA-mutant disease, set the stage for cell killing. PARPi appear to be especially effective in AML with certain gene rearrangements and molecular characteristics (RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and PML-RARA fusions, FLT3- and IDH1-mutated). In addition, PARPi can enhance the efficacy of other agents, particularly alkylating agents, TOP1 poisons, and hypomethylating agents, that induce lesions ordinarily repaired via PARP1-dependent mechanisms. Conversely, emerging reports suggest that long-term treatment with PARPi for solid tumors is associated with an increased incidence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and AML. Here, we (i) review the pre-clinical and clinical data on the role of PARPi, specifically olaparib, talazoparib, and veliparib, in aggressive myeloid neoplasms and (ii) discuss the reported risk of MDS/AML with PARPi, especially as the indications for PARPi use expand to include patients with potentially curable cancer.
