Elzbieta Senkus-Konefka, MD, PhD from the Medical University of Gdansk, Gdansk, Poland talks to us about the OlympiA study (NCT02032823), a Phase III clinical trial which assessed the efficacy of the PARP inhibitor olaparib in the treatment of breast cancer patients with germline BRCA 1/2 mutations. Dr Senkus-Konefa discusses the importance of this trial and talks us through the results, sharing her hopes for what olaparib could mean for breast cancer patients.
