Zhang et al. test the therapeutic potential of an inhibitor of BAD phosphorylation, NPB, in epithelial ovarian cancer. The authors show that the small molecule synergises with PARP inhibition to kill patient-derived ovarian cancer organoids and suppress the growth of xenograft tumours, including a cisplatin-resistant model.
