Gestion pratique des inhibiteurs de PARP : Un consensus national DELPHI

International audience; Objective > Despite an increasing number of therapeutic indications, there are no specific recommendations regarding the management of PARP inhibitors other than what is specified in the SmPC of each substance. A Delphi French consensus was conducted to establish practical guidelines to meet the needs identified by healthcare professionals and patients. Method > Following the Delphi method, statements to optimize PARP inhibitor management were drafted by a multidisciplinary Steering Committee made up of 17 experts. These statements were submitted to the independent and anonymous vote of clinicians involved in treating patients on PARP inhibitors. Results > This article presents 52 statements on the following topics: initiation and treatment; management of adverse events (hematological effects, gastrointestinal effects, renal effects, pulmonary effects, cutaneous effects, hypertension, insomnia, fatigue, dizziness); special popu-lations and situations; communication with the patient; adherence. Forty-nine statements obtained voter consensus after 3 voting rounds. A hematologist and a nephrologist supplemented this task by drafting an expert opinion on the risk of occurrence of secondary leukemia and nephrological toxicity. Conclusions > This paper is the first Delphi consensus on the practical management of PARP inhibitors. The pragmatic recommendations resulting from this paper should make it possible to manage the side effects of PARP inhibitors better and thus prevent early treatment discontinua-tion and improve patient adherence by preserving quality of life.
