Combination therapy overcomes secondary PARPi resistance in ATM-deficient prostate cancer.
Article in NPJ precision oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are approved treatments for patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC); tumors with homologous recombination repair (HRR) defects are particularly sensitive to this drug class. While previous work has associated ATM defects with response to PARPi, its predictive value remains controversial and the mechanisms underlying sensitivity and eventual acquired drug resistance in this setting remain unclear. To address this, we generated in vitro prostate cancer models of acquired PARPi resistance to olaparib and saruparib, a novel selective PARP1 inhibitor and pursued functional characterization and drug sensitivity studies. We found that resistant models bypass the G2/M arrest induced by PARPi in sensitive models; and display a greater reliance on the ATR-dependent response to DNA damage and replication stress, mainly through the ATR-CHK1 axis. Consistently, we demonstrate in vivo that the combination of PARPi-ATRi in resistant models restores treatment sensitivity through enhancing replication stress. Collectively, these findings highlight an interplay between ATM-ATR signaling as a key mediator of PARPi sensitivity in ATM-deficient mPC and identify a promising therapeutic combination to prolong treatment response and potentially improve patients' outcomes.
