Summary of Clinical Use Click here for help
Veliparib has reached Phase 3 clinical trial in cancers including triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), ovarian cancer, glioblastoma and squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Click here to link to ClinicalTrials.gov's list of registered Phase 3 veliparib trials.

Veliparib is one of the drugs being assessed in a new type of clinical trial, called adaptive trials being performed as part of the public/private partnership I-SPY trials which aim to streamline drug testing by matching experimental regimens with responding cancer subtypes, so that the most useful drugs are used in those patients most likely to respond to them. The I-SPY trials are 'adaptive' in the sense that early data from current patients is used to guide treatment regimes for the next patients entering the trial. It is hoped that this more thoughtful and flexible trial framework will expedite identification of drugs and drug combinations with the most positive outcome in those patients in most need. Positive results from an I-SPY 2 (Phase 2) trial of veliparib-carboplatin in breast cancer have been reported [2].
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
PARP inhibitors prevent repair of DNA damage and ultimately cause cell death, especially in tumour cells with mutations in other DNA repair proteins such as BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 [1].
