Abstract Following the survival benefit demonstrated in the OlympiA trial, one year of adjuvant olaparib is now recommended for all patients with germline BRCA1/2 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (PV) and high-risk, HER2-negative early breast cancer after chemotherapy. However, optimal identification of high-risk patients who may derive benefit from this genomically-directed therapy is debated. In this study, we sought to characterize the real-world proportion of gBRCA1/2 PV carriers eligible for adjuvant olaparib according to the OlympiA criteria, and to compare clinicopathologic characteristics and outcomes between eligible and ineligible patients.
