Title:	Methods of treating homologous recombination deficient cancer
Abstract:	This disclosure relates to methods of treating homologous recombination (HR) deficient cancers, such as ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, breast cancer, and/or pancreatic cancer. This disclosure further relates to preventing, controlling or reducing hypertension and/or proteinuria in a subject receiving a therapeutically effective amount of bevacizumab therapy.

Patent Claims:	1. A method for treating ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, breast cancer, and/or pancreatic cancer in a subject, the method comprising: administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of bevacizumab, and administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of 4-[(3-{[4-(cyclopropane-carbonyl)piperazine-1-yl]carbonyl}-4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-2H-phthalazin-1-one (olaparib), or a hydrate, solvate, or prodrug thereof, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of bevacizumab is in the range of about 10 to 20 mg/kg of body weight every 3 weeks; wherein the therapeutically effective amount of olaparib is about 300 mg twice daily; wherein the therapeutically effective amount of olaparib reduces Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 hypertension in the subject as compared to hypertension in the subject when the subject receives bevacizumab alone; and wherein the progression free survival is at least about 4 months greater than for subjects receiving bevacizumab alone. 2. The method of claim 1 for treating ovarian cancer or breast cancer. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is homologous recombination deficient (HRD) cancer. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the homologous recombination (HR) gene mutation is selected from BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BRIP1, BARD1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL, PALB2, PPP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, and RAD54L gene mutation. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer cells comprise a BRCA1, a BRCA2, and/or an ATM gene mutation. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer cells comprise a BRCA1 and/or a BRCA2. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer comprises a tBRCA mutation. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the cancer is epithelial ovarian cancer comprising a gBRCA1 or a gBRCA2 mutation. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the progression free survival is about 4 to 6 months greater. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the subject previously completed a first line platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the subject previously received between 6 and 9 cycles of first line platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the subject received a last cycle of first line platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy between 3 weeks and 9 weeks prior to administering olaparib. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the subject previously received at least 3 cycles of bevacizumab in combination with the first line platinum- and/or taxane-based chemotherapy. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of bevacizumab is about 15 mg/kg of body weight every 3 weeks. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein bevacizumab is administered at no more than 22 cycles in total. 18. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying the subject having hypertension. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein the hypertension is at least Grade 3 as determined by CTCAE. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the progression free survival is at least about 12 months greater, when the cancer comprises BRCA gene mutation. 21. The method of claim 1, wherein the progression free survival is at least about 10 months greater when the cancer is homologous recombination deficiency positive (HRD+) cancer. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein the progression free survival is about 15 to 25 months greater when the cancer is HRD+ cancer comprising BRCA gene mutation. 23. The method of claim 1, wherein the therapeutically effective amount of olaparib prevents developing Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4 hypertension.
