Background Combining DNA damage response (DDR) inhibitors to inhibit multiple DDR pathways may enhance tumour cell death. Preclinical models show synergistic antitumour effects of ola (PARP1 inhibitor) + cer (ATR inhibitor) or ada (WEE1 inhibitor). VIOLETTE (NCT03330847), a phase 2 open-label study, evaluated ola ± cer or ada as 2nd–3rd line in pts with mTNBC. Methods Randomisation was stratified within each arm by mutation status (BRCAm, non-BRCAm homologous recombination repair pathway mutations [HRRm], or no HRRm [non-HRRm]) based on a prospective central tumour test and prior platinum therapy. Pts received ola 300 mg BID, 28-d cycle; cer 160 mg d 1–7 + ola 300 mg BID (cer+ola), 28-d cycle; or ada 150 mg BID d 1–3, 8–10 + ola 200 mg BID (ada+ola), 21-d cycle. Primary study endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), safety, and tolerability. Ada+ola was discontinued early due to higher than expected grade ≥3 haematologic toxicity, which limited its interpretation. We focus on cer+ola vs ola. The sponsor stopped VIOLETTE after reviewing BRCAm stratum efficacy data. Results Of 273 pts (450 planned; median age: 53 y), 114 received ola, 112 cer+ola, and 47 ada+ola. Primary analyses showed no statistically significant difference in PFS for cer+ola vs ola (BRCAm: n=83; HR 1.02 [90% CI 0.63–1.66, P=0.94], HRRm: n=40; 0.54 [0.28–1.03, 0.13], non-HRRm: n=103; 0.76 [0.50–1.14, 0.30]). No statistically significant difference in ORR was seen for cer+ola vs ola in BRCAm (50% vs 44%) or HRRm (20% vs 15%). ORR was higher in non-HRRm for cer+ola (15%, n=8) vs ola (4%, n=2) (odds ratio 4.45; 90% CI 1.30–21.20, P=0.04). In all pts, nausea and anaemia were the most common adverse events (AEs). Grade ≥3 AEs: 36% ola, 47% cer+ola, 78% ada+ola. Details of exploratory and subgroup analyses will be presented. Conclusions Cer+ola did not improve PFS vs ola as 2nd–3rd line for mTNBC. Clinical significance of higher ORR with cer+ola in non-HRRm pts is unclear. Cer+ola had a manageable safety profile consistent with known profiles of each. Further analyses may identify pts likely to benefit from each treatment.Citation
