About this study

Official title: Olaparib for BRCAness Phenotype in Pancreatic Cancer: Phase II Study

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the efficacy of olaparib monotherapy in stage IV pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with breast cancer, early onset (BRCA)ness.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To further determine the efficacy of olaparib in the study population.

SAFETY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the safety and tolerability of olaparib.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To identify tissue based biomarkers of defective homologous recombination repair (HRD).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 8 weeks thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    The primary endpoint was the objective response rate assessed by the investigator using the modified RECIST v1.1 criteria.

    Measured: 5 years 8 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    The Progression Free Survival defined as the time from enrollment until radiologic disease progression and it is assessed by the investigator review using modified RECIST v1.1 criteria or by death by any cause. This was applied to all patients from MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston Tx USA.

    Measured: 5 years 8 months

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death or last follow up. This was applied to all patients from MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston Tx USA

    Measured: 5 years 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 18 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: 5 years 8 months). 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 1 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
