In combination w/ bevacizumab for maintenance treatment of adults w/ advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy & whose cancer is associated w/ homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) +ve status defined by either deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation &/or genomic instability. Breast cancer: Adjuvant treatment for adults w/ germline BRCA-mutated HER2 -ve high risk early breast cancer who have previously been treated w/ neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. Monotherapy for adults w/ germline BRCA1/2-mutations, who have HER2 -ve metastatic breast cancer & have previously been treated w/ anthracycline & taxane in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting unless unsuitable for these treatments. Patients w/ hormone receptor (HR) +ve breast cancer should also have progressed on or after prior endocrine therapy, or be considered unsuitable for endocrine therapy. Pancreatic cancer: Maintenance treatment of adults w/ deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCAm metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma whose disease has not progressed on at least 16 wk of 1st-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Prostate cancer: Monotherapy for adults w/ deleterious or suspected deleterious germline &/or somatic BRCA- or ATM-mutated metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed following prior treatment w/ new hormonal agent eg, abiraterone or enzalutamide. In combination w/ abiraterone & prednisone or prednisolone for adults w/ deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-mutated mCRPC.

Increased mean Cmax & AUC w/ strong (eg, itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, PIs boosted w/ ritonavir or cobicistat, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate (eg, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil) CYP3A inhibitors; grapefruit juice. Decreased mean Cmax & AUC w/ strong CYP3A inducers eg, phenytoin, rifampicin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine, phenobarb, St. John's wort. Not recommended w/ moderate to strong CYP3A inducers eg, efavirenz, rifabutin. Clinical monitoring w/ CYP3A substrates or substrates w/ narrow therapeutic margin (eg, simvastatin, cisapride, cyclosporine, ergot alkaloids, fentanyl, pimozide, sirolimus, tacrolimus, quetiapine) & P-gp substrates (eg, pravastatin, dabigatran, digoxin, colchicine). Reduced exposure to CYP1A2, 2B6 & 3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19 & P-gp substrates. Increased exposure to BRCP, OATP1B1, OCT1, OCT2, OAT3, MATE1 & MATE2K substrates.
