Therapeutic Response Statement (Sensitivity)

This therapeutic response statement supports the relationship that BRCA1 oncogenic variants status confers therapeutic sensitivity to Olaparib in patients with High-Grade Serous Fallopian Tube Cancer.

The Republic of Ireland's Health Service Executive (HSE) has approved olaparib (tablet) for reimbursement as a monotherapy treatment option for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutated (germline and/or somatic) high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy.

This statement is based on a regulatory approval from the Health Service Executive:

Maintenance treatment of adult patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutated (germline and/or somatic) high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete response or partial) to platinum-based chemotherapy
