Lynparza in combination with bevacizumab is indicated for the: maintenance treatment of adult patients with advanced (FIGO stages III and IV) high-grade epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in response (complete or partial) following completion of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab and whose cancer is associated with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positive status defined by either a BRCA1/2 mutation and/or genomic instability (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas: Lynparza is indicated as monotherapy for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA1/2-mutations who have metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and have not progressed on at least 16 weeks of a first-line platinum based chemotherapy regimen.
Breast cancer: Lynparza is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations, who have HER2 negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients should have previously been treated with an anthracycline and a taxane in the (neo)adjuvant or metastatic setting unless patients were not suitable for these treatments (see Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics under Actions).
Patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer should also have progressed on or after prior endocrine therapy, or be considered unsuitable for endocrine therapy.
