Abstract

CADTH reimbursement reviews are comprehensive assessments of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as patient and clinician perspectives, of a drug or drug class. The assessments inform non-binding recommendations that help guide the reimbursement decisions of Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec. This review assesses olaparib (Lynparza), 100 mg and 150 mg tablet, administered orally. Indication: Olaparib is indicated in combination with abiraterone and prednisone or prednisolone for the treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline and/or somatic BRCA mutated metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer in whom chemotherapy is not clinically indicated. BRCA mutation must be confirmed before olaparib treatment is initiated.
