1 Session Room 272 PARP Is a Perp: Biology of Cancer Update This session has been planned in collaboration with the Cancer Genetics and Targeted and Biological Therapies Special Interest Group. Session Description: In this interactive session, you ll learn about the action of new therapies based on the PARP enzyme in relation to cancer biology, identify your role in patient education and symptom management during PARP inhibitor therapy, and apply the principles presented to a clinical scenario. You ll also have a chance to play DNA Repair Jeopardy to test your new knowledge. Level of Content: Level II Content Area: Types of Cancer and Treatment Coordinator/Speaker: Julie Eggert, RN, PhD, GNP-C, AOCN Associate Professor Clemson University Clemson, SC jaegger@clemson.edu Full Disclosure: Nothing to Disclose Speaker: Lori Williams, PhD, RN, AOCN, OCN Assistant Professor MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX loriwilliams@mdanderson.org Full Disclosure: Speaker intends to discuss unapproved/investigational use of a commercial product/device during this session.

Should PARP inhibitors be used in combination with chemotherapy and what are the best combinations and doses to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimum toxicities? Can PARP inhibitors be used as radiosensitizers and what would the toxicities and long term effects be? Can PARP inhibitors be combined with other targeted agents? What about PARP inhibitors as adjuvant, prophylactic, or maintenance treatments? Can PARP inhibitors be effective in sporadic tumors with homologous recombination defects and how can these tumors be identified? Roles of the Nurse Clinical Trials Patient Education Knowledgeable Practitioner Evidence Based Symptom Management Nursing Research 140 Oncology Nursing Society 37th Annual Congress
7 Clinical Trials Encouraging appropriate patient participation Clinical trials research nurse functions Participating in study design and initiation Assessing for trial eligibility Obtaining informed consent Study drug administration Assessing patients during study Collecting data and maintaining records Monitoring for safety and reporting adverse events Participating in trial audits Assisting with analysis Contributing to study outcomes reporting PARP Background PARP protein needed by cells need to repair damage PARP blocked no damage repair cell death Some cancer cells dependent on PARP BRCA or BRCA like mutations Your tumor may be dependent on PARP PARP inhibitors may be used to prevent repair of damage from chemotherapy or radiation Patient Education Why did my doctor suggest PARP inhibitor therapy? How will I take a PARP inhibitor? What will my pills look like? How should I store my pills? What if I miss a dose? Are there any special instructions for taking my medication? What side effects might occur? How should I manage these side effects? When should I contact my doctor? Should I follow any special precautions while I am taking a PARP inhibitor? Predicting Response to PARP Inhibitors BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations cause problems with cell repair PARP inhibitors are effective in patients with deficient cell repair Other patients may have tumors with changes that produce cell repair deficits like BRCA1/BRCA2 PARP inhibition could be effective in these patients Research is being done to find tests to identify these patients A PARP inhibitor would be recommended : You have a BRCA1 or BRCA 2 mutation You have a tumor that has a strong chance of being deficient in cell repair Konstantiinopoulos et al. J Clin Oncol 2012; 28: ; Mukhopadhyay et al. Clin Cancer Res 2010; 16: Konstantiinopoulos et al. J Clin Oncol 2012; 28: ; Mukhopadhyay et al. Clin Cancer Res 2010; 16: Drug Information PARP inhibitors are still investigational If your doctor thinks you might benefit from a PARP inhibitor: You must be eligible for a clinical trial You will have to consent to treatment on the clinical trial You will receive the PARP inhibitor drug free of charge PARP Inhibitor Administration PARP inhibitors may be given as pills or IV. It depends on the type of PARP inhibitor. If you take pills: You may take them once or twice a day. You may take the pills every day or you may take them intermittently on a schedule your doctor will give you. You may receive other therapy at the same time as the PARP inhibitor. If you receive a PARP inhibitor intravenously: It will be given on a schedule prescribed by your doctor. You will have an infusion about twice a week for several weeks and then have a few days off before the next cycle of therapy begins. The infusions will usually last about 1 hour. Oncology Nursing Society 37th Annual Congress 141
8 Oral PARP Inhibitor Therapy Side Effects of PARP Inhibitors Your doctor or pharmacist will explain to you how to store your PARP inhibitor pills. Your doctor or pharmacist will tell you what to do if you miss a dose of a PARP inhibitor pill, but try very hard not to miss a dose. Your therapy will be most effective if you take it exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor or pharmacist will give you any special instructions about taking your PARP inhibitor pills. Symptom Management There is no evidence for the management of symptoms related to PARP inhibitor therapy. Apply general symptom management principles and recommendations. Fatigue, drowsiness Nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, dyspepsia, diarrhea Abdominal pain and distention Stomatitis Photosensitivity Myelosuppression Convulsions, dizziness, and other CNS toxicities at higher doses Acute renal failure Pulmonary embolism Respiratory failure Sandhu et al. Current Drug Targets 2011; 12: ; O'Shaughnessy et al. NEJM 2011; 364: Symptom Management Fatigue exercise Nausea, vomiting anti emetic appropriate for the severity of the symptoms Lack of appetite frequent small meals, nutritional supplements Dyspepsia antacids, 5HT3 blockers Diarrhea low fiber diet, immodium, lomotil Sandhu et al. Current Drug Targets 2011; 12: ; O'Shaughnessy et al. NEJM 2011; 364: Symptom Management Abdominal pain and distention evaluate for bowel obstruction; NPO; gastric suction Photosensitivity avoid sun exposure, long sleeves and pants, use SPF 30 Myelosuppression monitor, dose delay or reduction, growth factors if appropriate, blood component transfusions, prevent infections and bleeding Dizziness avoid falls Sandhu et al. Current Drug Targets 2011; 12: ; O'Shaughnessy et al. NEJM 2011; 364: Nursing Research Identification of PARP inhibitor acute and long term side effects and symptoms Impact of PARP inhibitor side effects and symptoms on patient functioning Understanding of mechanisms behind PARP inhibitor side effects and symptoms Testing effectiveness of interventions to prevent and manage PARP inhibitor side effects and symptoms 142 Oncology Nursing Society 37th Annual Congress
