Research summary
Summary of Research
This is an Open Label, Phase IV study of Lynparza (also known as Olaparib, the study drug) in participants with BRCA (breast cancer) mutated ovarian cancer who have already received platinum based chemotherapy. The study drug has received marketing regulatory approval and this study will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the drug as a stand-alone treatment as per the EU approved prescribing information.Participants will receive the study drug as oral 400mg capsules twice daily (800mg in total, as 16 50mg capsules per day) within 8 weeks of their final chemotherapy treatment.
Approximately 500 participants will be enrolled from 150 sites across 20 countries worldwide.
The study consists of a screening visit (up to 56 days depending on whether the participants BRCA status is known or unknown), followed by an enrolment visit and then treatment visits 28 days apart coupled with 12 weekly tumour assessments until disease progress and the participant stops taking the study drug and then a follow up period including a safety follow-up visit 30 days after the last dose of the study drug.
Summary of Results
Maintenance therapy with olaparib capsules demonstrated consistent clinical activity on Investigator-assessed progression free survival by modified RECIST version 1.1 in BRCAm and sBRCAmplatinum sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer patients.
Certain prognostic factors such as complete response and no evidence of disease at baseline status were found to influence the PFS.
QoL of patients was maintained during the treatment period, with no clinically meaningful detriments observed across treatment visits and similar results for the BRCAm cohort and the sBRCAm and gBRCAm patients.
The safety and tolerability of olaparib observed in this study was generally consistent in the BRCAm, sBRCAm and gBRCAm patients, the HRRm^ cohort, and the total patient population, and was in line with the known safety profile of olaparib used in monotherapy.
Patients from the HRRm^ cohort had baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes comparable to those of patients with BRCAm disease
