pazopanib and olaparib

Several 'lines of therapy' that utilize cytotoxic agents and are driven by platinum-free intervals are the current standard of care for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. For patients with platinum-resistant disease, single agent chemotherapy (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan, gemcitabine or weekly paclitaxel) is the standard of care. For patients with platinum-sensitive disease, combination chemotherapy (carboplatin plus paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or gemcitabine) is the standard of care. In addition, antiangiogenic therapy using bevacizumab is an established option. Future directions could include 'lines of therapy' with biologic agents driven by specific biologic targets. Data from antiangiogenic agents (trebananib, pazopanib and cediranib), antifolate drugs (farletuzumab and vintafolide), poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (olaparib and veliparib), mTOR inhibitors (everolimus and temsirolimus) and immune editing agents (nivolumab) have been summarized in this review.

A simple, rapid, and sensitive liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry method has been developed and validated for the quantification of ruxolitinib, olaparib, vismodegib, and pazopanib in human plasma.. After a simple protein precipitation of plasma samples, the chromatographic separation was performed using an ultraperformance liquid chromatography system coupled with mass tandem spectrometry in a positive ionization mode. The mobile phase consisted of a gradient elution of 10-mmol/L formate ammonium buffer containing 0.1% (vol/vol) formic acid (phase A) and acetonitrile with 0.1% (vol/vol) formic acid (phase B) at a flow rate at 300 µL/min.. Analysis time was 5.0 minutes per run, and all analytes and internal standards eluted within 1.5-1.73 minutes. The calibration curves were linear over the range from 10 to 2500 ng/mL for ruxolitinib and from 100 to 100,000 ng/mL for olaparib, vismodegib, and pazopanib with coefficients of correlation above 0.99 for all analytes. The intraday and interday coefficients of variation were below 14.26% and 14.81%, respectively, for lower concentration and below 9.94% and 6.37%, respectively, for higher concentration.. Using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, we have developed and validated a simple and rapid assay for the simultaneous quantification of olaparib, vismodegib, pazopanib, and ruxolitinib in human plasma. This method is now part of our therapeutic drug monitoring service provision and is currently used clinically to manage patients prescribed these drugs.
