Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials evaluate the therapeutic profile of saruparib (AZD5305) across various oncology indications, including advanced breast cancer, metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, small cell lung carcinoma, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Spanning from Early Phase 1 to Phase 3, these studies are sponsored by AstraZeneca alongside academic entities such as the SWOG Cancer Research Network, OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, and the University of Leeds. Across these protocols, recruitment statuses currently encompass active recruiting, active not recruiting, completed, and withdrawn.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Saruparib (AZD5305) selectively binds to and potently inhibits poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1), preventing catalytic DNA repair activity and trapping PARP1 on damaged DNA sites to induce double-strand DNA break accumulation in repair-deficient tumor cells. This targeted mechanism disrupts genomic stability and inhibits tumor growth, providing a therapeutic rationale for its ongoing clinical evaluation in solid tumors including advanced breast, prostate, ovarian, and lung cancers.

Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards

Quality Dimension RUO (Research Use Only) cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice)
Clinical Applicability Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies.
