Cisplatin | Platinol | CDDP | Chemotherapy - Platinum 7 | Platinol (cisplatin) is a platinum based chemotherapeutic, which is FDA approved for bladder, ovarian, and testicular cancers (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Gemcitabine | Gemzar | Difluorodeoxycytidine Hydrochlorothiazide|LY-188011 | Chemotherapy - Antimetabolite 14 | Gemzar (gemcitabine) is converted in cells to difluorodeoxycytidine di- and triphosphate (dFdCDP, dFdCTP), which act to inhibit ribonucleoside reductase and as a deoxynucleotide analog respectively, resulting in DNA strand termination and apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Veliparib | ABT-888 | PARP Inhibitor (Pan) 31 | Veliparib (ABT-888) is a PARP1 and PARP2 inhibitor, which inhibits DNA repair and induces lethality in homologous recombination deficient cells, and may enhance the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents (PMID: 26251615, PMID: 31074636, PMID: 32452601). |

PALB2 inact mut | pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma | no benefit | Cisplatin + Gemcitabine + Veliparib | Phase II | Actionable | In a Phase II trial, the addition of Veliparib (ABT-888) to Gemzar (gemcitabine) and Platinol (cisplatin) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients with either a germline BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 inactivating mutation did not improve response rate (RR) compared to Gemzar (gemcitabine) and Platinol (cisplatin) alone, with 74.1% (20/27) vs 65.2% (15/23), P=0.55, and led to similar median progression-free survival, 10.1 vs 9.7 mo, P=0.73, and median overall survival, 15.5 vs 16.4 mo, P=0.6 (PMID: 31976786). | 31976786 |
