Contra Indications

Precautions

Pneumonitis, including fatal cases, occurred in <1%; interrupt treatment if pneumonitis is suspected; discontinue if pneumonitis is confirmed Can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals; (see Pregnancy) Venous thromboembolic events, including pulmonary embolism, occurred in mCRPC patients who were treated with olaparib and androgen deprivation therapy; monitor for signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated Myelodysplastic syndrome/ acute myeloid leukemia Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) occurred in clinical trials Monitor complete blood cell count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment Do not initiate treatment until hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (Grade ≤1) resolves

Pregnancy-Lactation

Pregnancy Based on findings in animals and mechanism of action, fetal harm may occur when administered to a pregnant woman; there are no available data on use in pregnant women to inform of drug associated risk Olaparib was teratogenic and caused embryo-fetal toxicity in rats at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 400 mg BID Contraception In women of childbearing potential, avoid pregnancy by using effective contraception during treatment and for at least 6 month after receiving the last dose; pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment Based on findings in genetic toxicity and animal reproduction studies, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of olaparib Advise male patients not to donate sperm during therapy and for 3 months following the last dose of olaparib Lactation No data are available regarding presence of olaparib in human milk, or on effects on breastfed infant or on milk production; because of potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from therapy, advise lactating women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 1 month after receiving last dose

Interactions

May reduce efficacy of hormonal contraceptives. May decrease serum concentration with moderate or severe CYP3A4 inducers. May increase serum concentration with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Increased myelosuppression with other antineoplastic agents.

Mode of Action

Inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3 PARP enzymes are involved in normal cellular homeostasis, such as DNA transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair
