       58. The method of  claim 57 , wherein the PARP inhibitor is selected from olaparib, veliparib, BGB-290, talazoparib, BMN 673, and niraparib. 
     
     
       59. A method of inhibiting DNA polymerase θ (Polθ) in a homologous recombination (HR)-deficient cancer cell, the method comprising contacting the HR-deficient cancer cell with an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of: 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 
     
     
       60. The method of  claim 59 , wherein the compound is 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 
     
     
       61. The method of  claim 60 , wherein the cancer cell is contacted in vivo. 
     
     
       62. The method of  claim 59 , wherein the compound is 
       
         
           
           
               
               
           
         
       
       or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 
     
     
       63. The method of  claim 62 , wherein the cancer cell is contacted in vivo. 
     
     
       64. The method of  claim 32 , further comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an additional anti-cancer agent. 
     
     
       65. The method of  claim 64 , wherein the additional anti-cancer agent is a platinum-based anti-cancer agent. 
     
     
       66. The method of  claim 65 , wherein the platinum-based anti-cancer agent is selected from carboplatin and cisplatin. 
     
     
       67. The method of  claim 64 , wherein the additional anti-cancer agent is a PARP inhibitor. 
     
     
       68. The method of  claim 67 , wherein the PARP inhibitor is selected from olaparib, veliparib, BGB-290, talazoparib, BMN 673, and niraparib. 
     
     
       69. The method of  claim 36 , wherein the ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer is an HR-deficient cancer. 
     
     
       70. The method of  claim 51 , wherein the ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer is an HR-deficient cancer.
