BRCA1 and BRCA2 are key tumor suppressor genes that are essential for the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway. Loss of function mutations in these genes result in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes, which comprise approximately 5% of cases. BRCA1/2 mutations are associated with younger age of diagnosis and increased risk of recurrences. The concept of synthetic lethality led to the development of PARP inhibitors which cause cell cytotoxicity via the inhibition of PARP1, a key DNA repair protein, in cells with germline BRCA1/2 mutations. Although still poorly understood, the most well-acknowledged proposed mechanisms of action of PARP1 inhibition include the inhibition of single strand break repair, PARP trapping, and the upregulation of non-homologous end joining. Olaparib and talazoparib are PARP inhibitors that have been approved for the management of HER2-negative breast cancer in patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations. This review article highlights the clinical efficacy of PARP inhibitors in patients with HER2-negative breast cancer in early and advanced settings.
