Can also research the POLO trial which was a research trial of PARP which seems to be the trial which got FDA approval for the drug. This is a scientific paper describing the trial. Give a try at reading it and then try searching POLO trial on Google, might come up with something else.

Thank you!
That’s weird: at the mid-trial evaluation you linked to the Overall Survival showed no benefit, though “progression-free” time was distinctly extended. Checking the 2022 followup report after the full trial… the same result held. One would think a discussion of the placebo-identical Overall Survival would have been included, but nope.

Scratching my head. I’ll definitely ask my oncologist what this means!
