Olaparib and Durvalumab With Carboplatin, Etoposide, and/or Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, PRIO Trial

ClinConnect Summary

The PRIO trial is a research study looking at a new treatment approach for patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), which is a type of lung cancer that has spread. This trial is testing the combination of two drugs, olaparib and durvalumab, with chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and etoposide) and/or radiation therapy. Olaparib helps to stop cancer cells from repairing themselves, while durvalumab aims to enhance the body's immune response against the cancer. This study is particularly for patients who have not received any prior treatment for their cancer.

To participate in this trial, patients need to meet certain criteria, such as being diagnosed with ES-SCLC and having measurable cancer lesions. They should also be generally healthy, with specific blood counts and organ function levels. Participants can expect to receive the study treatment along with careful monitoring by the medical team. Importantly, joining this trial will not affect their ability to receive other treatments later on, and they will still have the option to participate in genetic and biomarker research if they choose.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:

• • Provision of informed consent for genetic research prior to collection of sample;
• • Provision of informed consent for biomarker research prior to collection of sample;
• • If a patient declines to participate in the optional exploratory genetic research or the optional biomarker research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. The patient will not be excluded from other aspects of the study

• • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =\< 2.5 x institutional ULN, unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be =\< 5 x ULN (measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment)
• • Calculated estimated creatinine clearance \>= 51 mL/min using the Cockcroft- Gault equation or based on a 24-hour urine test (measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment)
• * Evidence of post-menopausal status or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential: negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study treatment and confirmed prior to treatment on day 1. Postmenopausal status is defined as:
• • Amenorrheic for 1 year or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments
• • Luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in the post-menopausal range for women under 50
• • Radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses \> 1 year ago
• • Chemotherapy-induced menopause with \> 1-year interval since last menses
• • Surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy)
• • Women of childbearing potential and their partners, who are sexually active, must agree to the use of TWO highly effective forms of contraception in combination. This should be started from the signing of the informed consent and continue throughout the period of taking study treatment and for at least 3 months after last dose of study drug(s)
• • Male patients must use a condom during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of study treatment when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of male patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception if they are of childbearing potential. Male patients should not donate sperm throughout the period of taking study treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of study treatment
• • Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow-up
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Histology other than SCLC
• • Prior systemic therapy for ES-SCLC (e.g. chemotherapy, PARP inhibitor, other DNA damage response \[DDR\] inhibitors, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors)
• • Patients with untreated brain metastases
• • Patients with spinal cord compression unless considered to have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease for 28 days
