Lynparza 150 — Olaparib 150 mg (112 Tablets)
Lynparza (Olaparib) is an innovative antineoplastic drug, the first-in-class inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes. The medication is designed for targeted therapy of malignancies associated with DNA repair gene defects (such as BRCA1/2 mutations). Olaparib blocks the ability of cancer cells to repair their damaged DNA, leading to cell death while having minimal impact on healthy cells.
Manufacturer: AstraZeneca. Lynparza significantly increases progression-free survival and is considered the "gold standard" in maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer and certain forms of breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer.
Key Features:
- ✅ Mechanism of "Synthetic Lethality": Selectively destroys tumor cells that have specific genetic defects.
- ✅ Wide Spectrum of Application: Effective in several types of solid tumors with BRCA mutations.
- ✅ Tablet Form: The modern 150 mg tablet form provides optimal bioavailability and administration convenience.
Lynparza is used for the treatment and maintenance therapy of adult patients in the following conditions:
- 🔹 Ovarian Cancer: Maintenance treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (with or without BRCA mutations).
- 🔹 Breast Cancer: HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer with germline BRCA mutations.
- 🔹 Pancreatic Cancer: Maintenance treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with BRCA mutations.
- 🔹 Prostate Cancer: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with mutations in DNA repair genes.
