Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are FDA approved as frontline maintenance for BRCA-associated advanced stage high-grade ovarian cancer (HGOC), having demonstrated an unprecedented improvement in relapse-free survival. Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are rare toxicities of PARPi. We describe three patients with germline BRCA-associated (gBRCA+) HGOC and alterations in AML driver genes. Although none evidenced overt hematologic malignancy, PARPi maintenance was cautiously considered given the potential risk of MDS/AML. A better understanding of the role of clonal hematopoiesis in the subsequent development of PARPi-associated MDS/AML will improve management of this patient population.
