Abstract
Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) were first approved for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), where as a maintenance therapy they transformed clinical management of this disease in both patients with and without homologous recombination deficiency. In this review, we provide a historical overview of PARPi use in EOC and discuss recent updates on overall survival data, highlighting their impact on regulatory approvals. We explore their potential as combination regimens with antiangiogenic and cell-cycle checkpoint inhibitors, as well as other small molecule inhibitors, to overcome resistance mechanisms and enhance therapeutic efficacy, providing a future perspective on the use of PARPis in EOC treatment.
