VIDEO: OlympiA trial shows ‘continued benefit’ in breast cancer survival

SAN ANTONIO — In this video, Judy Garber, MD, MPH, discusses the results of the OlympiA trial presented at San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

The study observed patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline pathogenic variants and high-risk HER2-negative breast cancer who received adjuvant olaparib or placebo after neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment.

“The study shows continued benefit across those variables, including overall survival, most importantly,” Garber, breast oncologist and chief of the division of cancer genetics and prevention at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said.
