About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Single Agent Olaparib for Patients With Recurrent BRCA Deficient Ovarian Cancer With No Prior PARP Exposure or Prior PARP Inhibitor Exposure

This research study is a way of gaining new knowledge about a drug called olaparib in women who have either: 1)never received a PARP inhibitor before to treat ovarian cancer (group 1) or 2)participants who have received a PARP inhibitor before to treat ovarian cancer, with the exception of olaparib (group 2). PARP inhibitors are drugs tht prevent cancer cells from repairing their DNA. In this research study, we are looking to see how well the drug olaparib works in women who have never received a PARP inhibitor for recurrent ovarian cancer as well as those who have received a prior PARP inhibitor and whose cancer has re-grown after receiving that PARP inhibitor.

Read the detailed description

Olaparib tablets will be taken twice daily, orally, in treatment cycles lasting 4 weeks.

On days 1, 8, 12 and 22 of the first 2 cycles and day 1 of all other cycles, subjects will have a physical exam, be asked questions about their general health, and specific questions about any problems they might be having and any medications they are taking.

Tumor will be assess by either CT or MRI scan every 2 cycles (every 2 months). Tumor biopsies will be optional in this study. Only participants that have received a PARP inhibitor in the past will be asked to have a biopsy of their tumor.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response Rates

    To determine the RECIST 1.1. response rates of the oral PARP inhibitor olaparib based on prior exposure of a PARP inhibitor; patients who have received and subsequently have had disease progression with a prior PARP inhibitor versus no prior exposure to a PARP inhibitor in patients with germline BRCA mutations who have recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer who have measurable cancer.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Toxicity

    Assess toxicity profile of olaparib according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 4)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Progression free survival

    Assess progression free survival (PFS) and 6 month PFS rate

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Response Rate

    Assess CA125 response rate

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Ovarian Cancer and Peritoneal Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Rates (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Aug 2012.
