These drugs rely on the principle of so-called synthetic sickness, which occurs when the deficiency of two or more cellular mechanisms lead to cell death, whereas loss of only one cellular mechanism does not. The exact mechanism for synthetic sickness with PARP inhibitors is still being investigated, although it has been extensively described LaFargue, et al. Lancet Oncol 2019; 20: e25-28
In addition, PARP1 has shown to have an important role in maintaining the transcription of circadian genes, with PARP1 inhibition leading to a disconnect in key circadian rhythm transcriptional components. These molecular studies might help to explain some of the neurological symptoms reported by patients on PARP inhibitors. LaFargue, et al. Lancet Oncol 2019; 20: e25-28
