ClinConnect Summary

An open label, single arm, phase II trial of Olaparib for PDAC patients with BRCAness (BRCA-Breast Cancer susceptibility gene).

Patients with previously identified Loss of ATM (ATM serine/threonine kinase)by (IHC) Immunohistochemistry OR (overall survival) - Family history of BRCA (Brest Cancer gene)-associated cancers: breast, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric or prostate must be present in 2 or more first-degree relatives OR- Patients with previously identified genetic aberrations that are associated with (HRD) Homologous recombination deficiency will be eligible \[e.g. somatic BRCA mutation,...
