Background: Germline BRCA1/2 mutations are associated with response to Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). In addition to BRCA1/2 mutations, there are other Homologous Recombinations Deficiency (HRD) biomarker candidates already available in clinical practice including genome-wide loss-of-heterozygosity (gLOH) and myChoice score. Inconsistencies in biomarkers used in clinical trials with PARPi are a challenge to clinical interpretation. This study aims to compare clinically available HRD biomarkers in terms of benefits from PARPi. Methods: We performed database search for phase II or III randomized clinical trials comparing PARPi versus chemotherapy, and meta-analysis using generic inverse variance and a random-effects model. Patients were classified into three categories according to their HRD status: 1) BRCAmut (patients with BRCA1/2 mutation of germline or somatic origin), 2) non-BRCA HRD (patients BRCA wild-type (wt) with a different HRD biomarker - gLOH or myChoice); and 3) homologous recombination proficiency (HRP) (BRCAwt and without HRD biomarkers). From those that were BRCAwt, we compared myChoice+ with gLOH-high. Results: Eight studies (n = 4372 patients) with PARPi as first-line and recurrence settings were included. BRCAmut had PFS HR 0.29 (95%CI, 0.24-0.35), BRCAwt & HRD 0.43 (95%CI, 0.34-0.53) and HRP 0.74 (95%CI, 0.62-0.89). In a secondary analysis by HRD stratification method, patients with BRCAwt & myChoice > = 42 had PFS HR 0.43 (95%CI, 0.34-0.56), similar to patients with BRCAwt & gLOH-high with PFS HR 0.42 (95%CI, 0.28-0.62). Conclusions: Patients with BRCA mutations benefited the most from PARPi. From patients with BRCA1/2 wild-type, a similar benefit was found in patients with gLOH-high and those myChoice+, which was superior to HRP patients. The clinical development of further HRD biomarkers (i.e. Sig3, HRDetect) may help identify more patients who benefit from PARPi.
