ClinConnect Summary

The study will recruit approximately 250 patients with sBRCAm disease or gBRCAm disease, with the aim to accrue a minimum of 50 patients with sBRCAm disease.

Patients with an unknown germline BRCA mutated status or gBRCAwt disease or previously identified as having a BRCAm disease by a tumour test will be considered for screening and will undergo, upon informed consent signature, central tumor and blood testing to determine their BRCA mutation status. In addition to central BRCA testing, patients screened for the study with unknown BRCA status or with known gBRCAwt status, for whom an adeq...

• • - Platinum sensitive disease is defined as disease progression ≥6 months after completion of their last dose of platinum based chemotherapy
• 5. Patients should have received at least 2 previous lines of platinum containing therapy prior to enrolment:
• • - For the last chemotherapy course immediately prior to enrolment on the study, patients must be, in the opinion of the investigator, in response (partial or complete radiological response) and no evidence of a rising CA-125, following completion of this chemotherapy course.
• 6. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days of enrolment, as defined below:
• • Haemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusions in the past 28 days

• Postmenopausal is defined as any of the following:
• • Amenorrhoea for 1 year or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments

• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Patients previously diagnosed with gBRCAm disease
• • 2. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the most recent chemotherapy course
• • 3. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to olaparib or any of the excipients of the product
• • 4. Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) or major surgery within 3 weeks prior to olaparib treatment. Major surgery within 3 weeks of starting study treatment and patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery
• • 5. Persistent toxicities Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) grade 2 caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia
• • 6. Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukaemia
• • 7. Immuno-compromised patients e.g., Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) requiring treatment or active Hepatitis B or C
• • 8. Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases. The patient can receive a stable dose of corticosteroids before and during the study as long as these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment. Patients with spinal cord compression unless considered to have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease (SD) for 28 days
• • 9. Patients considered to be at a high medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection
• • 10. Currently pregnant (confirmed with a positive pregnancy test) or breastfeeding.
