About this study

Official title: A Non-randomized Prospective Phase II Study of Upfront Maintenance Olaparib in Advanced Ovarian Cancer BRCAwt Patients With Known Homologous Recombination Deficiency

This is a prospective non-randomized efficacy trial of olaparib maintenance therapy after frontline treatment with platinum-based therapy in advanced ovarian cancer patients with BRCAwt, homologous recombination deficient (HRD) disease.

Read the detailed description

The use of PARP inhibitors has revolutionized how we think of the BRCA mutated population of ovarian cancer patients. However, this population with BRCA mutation is not the only one with homologous recombination deficiencies (HRD). Examples of BRCAwt but HR deficient mutations (HRD) include: BRIP1, RAD51C/D, and CHEK2 as well as epigenetic changes like BRCA methylation. This study is designed to provide information on if BRCAwt, HRD patients with advanced ovarian cancer benefit from maintenance olaparib monotherapy after frontline treatment. PAOLA-1 showed that this population had improved PFS from the addition of olaparib to bevacizumab but there is currently no information on how this population does with olaparib alone. For this reason, a similar population to PAOLA-1 will be used in this study. This study is designed to fill an important gap in the data provided by PAOLA-1. It is now considered standard of care for patients with BRCAwt, HRD disease to receive maintenance PARPi either alone (e.g. niraparib) based of PRIMA or in combination with bevacizumab based of PAOLA-1. Therefore, there is little to no concern that patients will be missing out on potentially beneficial therapy that could impact their prognosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression (TTP)

    Time (median number of months) between enrolment and progression (defined by RECIST 1.1) or death, whichever occurs first, and censored at the last date of disease assessment in the absence of progressive disease. Per RECISIT v1.1: Progressive Disease (PD):≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance ≥1 new lesion(s) is considered progression.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. 1-year Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Percentage of participants free of disease progression at 1 year. Per RECISIT v1.1: Progressive Disease (PD):≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance ≥1 new lesion(s) is considered progression.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time (median number of months) between enrollment and progression or death, whichever occurs first, and censored at the last date of disease assessment in the absence of progressive disease. Per RECISIT v1.1: Progressive Disease (PD):≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance ≥1 new lesion(s) is considered progression.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  2. Second Progression-free Survival (PFS2)

    Time (median number of months) between enrollment and second objective disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, and censored at last date of disease assessment in the absence of second disease progression. Per RECISIT v1.1: Progressive Disease (PD):≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance ≥1 new lesion(s) is considered progression.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time (median number of months) from enrolment to death from any cause and censored at date of last follow-up.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

  4. European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific questionnaire assessing 15 health-related quality of life (HRQoL) scales through 30-items: a global health status, five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social) and nine symptomatic scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). For each dimension, one score is generated on a 0-100 scale, with higher score representing better HRQoL. Minimal clinically important difference defined as ±10 points.

    Measured: At Baseline, Every 12 weeks during treatment, at End of Treatment, Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib tablet in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Alexander B Olawaiye, MD.

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 41 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 12 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Time to progression (TTP) (time frame: Up to 12 months). 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 NCT06120972.

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 12 Feb 2025.
