A phase Ib study of Olaparib with concomitant radiotherapy in locally advanced/unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, prospective phase Ib trial based on a dose escalation study design (3+3 traditional design) assessing four dose levels of Olaparib given with concomitant radiotherapy, followed by an expansion cohort.

Being tested
Olaparib, Concomitant Radiotherapy
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OlaparibDrug

    Olaparib will be administered per os bidaily, as appropriate assigned dose level, during 7.5 weeks (D1 to D52). Olaparib should be started one week before the start of radiotherapy and will be continued until the last day of radiotherapy. Beyond this period, Olaparib could be continued at the investigator's discretion and after sponsor authorization, until progression.

  • Concomitant RadiotherapyRadiation

    Radiotherapy consists of fractionated focal irradiation at a dose of 1.8 Grays (Gy) per fraction given once daily five days per week (Monday through Friday) over a period of 6.5 weeks, for a total dose of 59.4 Gy. Radiotherapy starts at D8.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    We reported in the following the number of Participants who experienced DLT.

    A DLT is defined as an adverse event (AE) or laboratory abnormality that fulfills all the criteria below: 1/ Occurs during the period of observation of DLTs defined as the period between the first day of treatment administration and up to 6 weeks after the end of radiotherapy. 2/ Is considered to be at least possibly related to the treatment strategy (radiotherapy or Olaparib).3/ Is unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications. 4/ Meets some criteria (see protocole), graded according to NCI CTCAEv4.0

    Measured: Until to six weeks after end of radiotherapy

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Olaparib in Association With Radiotherapy

    MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up 150mg twice a day on dose escalation cohorts 1 to 4 with 3 to 11 participants each. MTD reflects the highest dose of drug that did not cause a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in > 33% of participants. DLTs were defined as any grade 3 or 4 adverse event according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE 4.0) that could be related to treatment (reported in the following primary outcome measure).

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks after end of radiotherapy for each dosing cohort

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Non-progression at 6 Months as Per RECIST 1.1

    6-month non progression rate is defined as the proportion of complete (CR) or partial response (PR) at 6 months confirmed ≥ 4 weeks after initial documentation, or stable disease (SD) more than 24 weeks (RECIST v1.1, as determined by investigator review of tumor assessments).

    Measured: up to 6-month after treatment onset

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Responses at 6 Months as Per RECIST 1.1

    6-month objective response, defined as CR or PR at 6 months confirmed ≥ 4 weeks after initial documentation, as determined by investigator review of tumor assessments using RECIST v1.1

    Measured: up to 6-month after treatment onset

  3. Best Response Under Treatment as Per RECIST 1.1

    Best response under treatment is defined as the best response (CR, PR, SD) as per RECIST 1.1 recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment taking into account any requirement for confirmation as per RECIST v1.1 criteria. It is determined once all the data for the patient is known.

    Measured: End of treatment, approximately 13.5 weeks atfer treatment onset

  4. Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Per RECIST 1.1

    PFS is defined as the time from study treatment initiation to the first occurrence of disease progression or death (of any cause), whichever occurs first.

    Measured: 1 year after treatment onset

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from study treatment initiation to death (of any cause).

    Measured: 1 year after treatment onset

  6. Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) Functional Score

    The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score assesses functional outcomes before (week 2) and after (week 10) treatment with olaparib in combination with radiotherapy. It consists of six items (pain, function, emotional acceptance, and either support/walking/gait for lower limbs or positioning/dexterity/strength for upper limbs). Each item is rated 0-5, summed to a total score ranging from 0 (worst outcome) to 30 (best outcome). Higher scores represent better functional outcomes.

    Measured: Two weeks after treatment onset

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Olaparib and Concomitant Radiotherapy in people with Soft-tissue Sarcoma, run by Institut Bergonié at 4 sites in France.

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 25 inclusion and 21 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 25 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 25 Feb 2026). 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?

Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Until to six weeks after end of radiotherapy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02787642, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Feb 2026.
