effects of parp inhibitor on tumor microenvironment in high-risk endometrial cancer patients

Conditions: Endometrial Cancer

Summary: this is a window study where treatment-naïve patients will receive olaparib before definitive treatment. the aim is to evaluate the dna damage and inflammatory response after parp inhibitor.

patients with high-risk endometrial cancers are prone to develop recurrence. the response rate to conventional chemotherapy in persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer is poor. recent research demonstrated that immune checkpoint with or without targeted therapy was an effective treatment option. however, the change of immune landscape in the blood and tumor after parpi is not clear.
