Background summary
A capsule formulation of olaparib (tradename Lynparza*) is approved by the
European Commission (EC), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other
countries for the treatment of women with advanced BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer.
In this type of ovarian cancer certain genes (called BRCA1 and 2) show a
mutation that alters the function of these genes (this is called
*deleterious*). Mutations can either be inherited (*germline*) or they can
occur spontaneously in ovarian tissue (*somatic*). Some mutations do not affect
the gene function, they are called *variants*.
Study objective
This research study is designed to check whether olaparib is also effective in
treating ovarian cancer which does not have a germline deleterious BRCA
mutation, and whether olaparib causes any side effects.
A tablet formulation of olaparib is being tested in this study. It is a new
formulation which is more convenient for patients than the approved capsule
formulation because fewer tablets of olaparib need to be taken daily than with
capsules.
Study design
This is a Phase IIIb, single-arm, open-label, multicentre study to assess the
efficacy and safety of single-agent olaparib as a maintenance treatment in
patients with relapsed HGSOC (including patients with primary peritoneal and/or
fallopian tube cancer) or high grade endometrioid cancer who do not have known
deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutations (non-gBRCAm) and
who had responded following platinum based chemotherapy. Tumour assessments
will be conducted every 8 weeks for the first 12 months, and thereafter every
12 weeks up to disease progression.*
Intervention
Patients must have an existing known and documented gBRCA test result. Patients
with known deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCA mutations will be
excluded. The gBRCA status of enrolled patients will be confirmed
retrospectively using a central laboratory gBRCA test. All patients should
additionally have tumour sample available for the Myriad myChoice® HRD test
plus other molecular tests that measure homologous recombination repair
competency and genomic instability
Following screening assessments, all patients should have radiological (CT or
MRI) tumour assessments at baseline (within 28 days of starting treatment),
then every 8 weeks (±7 days) for the first 12 months, and every 12 weeks (± 7
days) until documented evidence of objective radiological disease progression
in accordance with modified RECIST 1.1, irrespective of treatment decisions
(i.e. RECIST follow up until progression even if a patient discontinues study
treatment prior to progression and/or receives subsequent therapy prior to
progression). At
baseline, eligible patients can have measurable disease (target lesions) or
non-measurable disease (non-target lesions or no evidence of disease).
Once a patient has progressed, the patient will be treated as per local
clinical practice and will be followed to first subsequent treatment, and then
approximately every 12 weeks for survival.
Study burden and risks
Very common side effects (affects more than 1 in 10 patients):
Feeling sick (nausea)
Being sick (vomiting)
Tiredness/weakness
Indigestion/heartburn (dyspepsia)
Loss of appetite
Headache
Change in taste of foods (dysgeusia)
Dizziness
Diarrhoea. Your doctor may prescribe a medicine to treat this. If it gets
severe, tell your doctor straight away.
Common side effects (affects 1 to 10 in 100 patients):
Sore mouth (stomatitis)
Pain in the stomach area under the ribs (upper abdominal pain)
Rash
The following side effects are very commonly shown in tests (Affects more than
1 in 10 patients):
Decrease in the number of red blood cells (anaemia) which can be associated
with symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, pale skin or fast heart beat
Decrease in the number of white blood cells that support the immune system
(lymphopenia) which can be associated with increased susceptibility to infection
Increase in blood creatinine seen from a laboratory test showing how your
kidneys are working.
Mean cell volume elevation (an increase in size of red blood cells): This will
be monitored by the laboratory safety tests that will be done in this study
because this doesn*t normally have any symptoms.
The following side effect is commonly shown in tests (Affects 1 to 10 in 100
patients):
Decrease in the number of platelets in blood (thrombocytopenia) which can be
associated with symptoms of bruising or bleeding for longer if injured
Decrease in the total number of white blood cells (leukopenia) and in certain
white blood cells (neutropenia) that protect from infection, which can be
associated with symptoms of fever
Uncommon (affects up to 1 in 100 patients) side effects that may occur are:
* Allergic reactions
* Itchy rash on swollen, reddened skin (dermatitis)
Driving and using machines
The study drug may affect your ability to drive or use machines. If you feel
dizzy, weak, or tired while taking your study treatment, take special care when
driving or using tools or machines.
Other potential risks
Other side effects have been seen in previous studies, but it is not yet known
if these were related to olaparib, or if they were unrelated events possibly
due to the patient*s cancer or other cause. Assessing the full range of side
effects of olaparib is an important part of this study.
Pneumonitis (lung inflammation) has been reported in a small number of patients
treated with olaparib in previous studies, and some reports have been fatal.
It is not known if olaparib caused the pneumonitis in these patients as they
had other possible causes such as lung cancer and/or metastases in the lungs,
pre-existing lung disease, were smokers, or had been treated previously with
chemotherapy or radiotherapy. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms
of shortness of breath, cough and fever, you should contact your Study Doctor
as soon as you can.
Myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukaemia: These side effects have
been reported in a small number of patients treated with olaparib in previous
studies and the majority of cases have been fatal. It is not known if olaparib
caused myelodysplastic syndrome and/or acute myeloid leukaemia in these
patients as they had other possible causes, in particular they had received
extensive previous chemotherapy. Your Study Doctor will monitor your blood
cell levels during the study and may decide you need to have further tests,
which may include a bone marrow sample or a blood sample.
* Myelodysplastic syndrome is a pre-cancerous condition where the bone marrow
isn*t as good at producing blood cells as it was before (red blood cells and/or
white blood cells and/or platelets). This condition has the potential to
transform into acute myeloid leukaemia
* Acute myeloid leukaemia is a cancer of the bone marrow where many abnormal
and immature white blood cells (blast cells) are made while normal functioning
blood cells are not made.
The Study Doctor may decide to interrupt and/or reduce your olaparib dose if
you experience certain side effects. If your dose is reduced you will be given
a new bottle of tablets.
There may be risks involved in taking this drug that have not yet been
discovered. There is always a risk involved in taking an experimental drug but
every precaution will be taken. If you suffer any side effects or injuries, or
your condition gets worse, tell your study doctor immediately so you can
receive appropriate care.

If the second assessment is * 15% more than the first, the patient is not eligible;7. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days of starting study treatment, as defined below. In the event of minor deviations from these values which would lead to screen failure, repeat testing within the 28-day screening period (limited to the tests listed below) is allowed before the patient is declared a screen failure.

13. An appropriately prepared tumour sample from the cancer, of sufficient quantity and quality (as specified in the Central Laboratory Services Manual) must be available for future central testing of tumour genetic status. If a recent biopsied sample is provided, the biopsied tumour should not be assessed as target lesions as part of the RECIST assessments if there are other lesions available, and the biopsy should be taken after the baseline scan has been performed. Archival tissue samples may be from the primary tumour or metastatic tumour deposits. Archival bone metastases are not acceptable. Provision of blocks is usually preferred. Any exceptions to these conditions should be discussed with the Sponsor before enrollment of the patient.
