Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal digestive malignancy with a 5-year survival rate of 10%. So far, the available therapeutic strategies are scarce and the few advancements made, as is the case of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, are only effective in 5% to 7% of patients. Investigators at the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu and collaborators described the synergistic effect obtained by the combined administration of LB-23, a PARP1 degrader, and JQ1, a BRD4 inhibitor, in homologous recombination (HR)-proficient pancreatic cancer models.
