Brief Summary

In 2010, more than 35,000 people died in the United Kingdom from lung cancer, the majority from non-small cell cancer (NSCLC). Chemotherapy is one of the main treatments for patients with NSCLC but those treated will still only live for an average of 9 or 10 months after diagnosis. The purpose of this clinical trial is to find out whether or not giving a drug called Olaparib following chemotherapy will benefit patients with NSCLC who have responded to initial chemotherapy treatment by prolonging the time before the tumour regrows. Olaparib is a new, oral drug developed by AstraZeneca which may help to slow down cancer growth. The rationale for this clinical trial is that chemotherapy damages tumour cell DNA and NSCLC tumours that respond to chemotherapy are less able to repair this damage. This can be exploited by using Olaparib as it blocks an enzyme called Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) which is essential for DNA repair. This will prevent DNA repair and cause cancer cell death by a mechanism known as synthetic lethality. Synthetic lethality arises when a combination of mutation in two or more genes leads to cell death. Up to 300 patients who are to receive standard chemotherapy treatment will be initially registered into the trial. Of these patients, 114 patients who have responded to chemotherapy will be randomly allocated to receive either Olaparib or an inactive dummy pill or placebo by mouth. The trial will assess whether Olaparib delays disease progression following standard chemotherapy treatment in patients. It will also show whether the side effects of adding Olaparib following standard treatment are acceptable.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free survival

    To establish the anti-tumour activity of Olaparib (measured by progression free survival),we will document the time from randomisation to any disease progression and/or death, defined according to strict RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) v1.1. Lesions will be compared to baseline measurements to assess progression.

    72 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Safety

    72 weeks

  • Objective response rate

    72 weeks

  • Overall survival

  • Change in tumour volume reduction

    27 weeks

  • Tolerability

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Olaparib

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

3 100mg tablets to be administered twice a day with approximately 240ml of water.

Drug: Olaparib

Placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

3 100mg tablets to be administered twice a day with approximately 240ml of water.

Other: Placebo

Interventions

Olaparib is a potent inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzyme (PARP), (molecular weight 434) that is being developed as a monotherapy as well as for combination with chemotherapy and other anti-cancer agents. Olaparib can lead to tumour regression in patients with DNA repair deficient NSCLC. Olaparib may also enhance the DNA damaging effects of chemotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histological diagnosis of NSCLC. Histology can be either squamous or non-squamous.
  • Stage IIIB or stage IV lung cancer that is not amenable to curative therapy.
  • Have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC. Previous adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for non-advanced disease is acceptable. Prior treatment with an oral targeted therapy for e.g. EGFR/ALK or other driver- oncogene mutated lung cancer is allowed. Immunotherapy e.g. with a PD1 or PDL1 targeted agent is allowed.
  • Patients who have already started their induction chemotherapy are not eligible for stage 1 of the trial
  • Eligible to receive standard platinum doublet-based chemotherapy.
  • Men or women, aged 18 or over and capable of giving informed consent.
  • Willing to consent to provide tissue and blood for translational research.
  • Informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.

You may not qualify if:

  • Evidence of small cell, large cell neuroendocrine or carcinoid histology.
  • Have a serious or uncontrolled medical condition that could compromise the patients' ability to adhere to the protocol.
  • Have a secondary malignancy (except adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer, or other cancer considered cured by surgical resection or radiation). Patients who have had another malignancy in the past but have been disease free for more than 5 years are eligible.
  • Previous treatment with PARP inhibitors
  • Uncontrolled gastrointestinal disorders such as active diverticulitis or colitis, or any major GI resection which could have an impact on patients' ability to absorb Olaparib.
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
  • Confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC (either squamous or non-squamous). Stage IIIB or stage IV that is not amenable to curative therapy.
  • ECOG performance status 0-1
  • Evidence of radiological response to induction chemotherapy, from the pre-treatment to baseline. This can include mixed stable/response or evidence of tumour shrinkage that does not reach the criteria of partial response according to RECIST.
  • Have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC. Previous adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy for non-advanced disease is acceptable. Previous palliative radiotherapy to non-target metastases is allowed provided no more than 25% of the bone marrow volume is irradiated. Irradiated sites cannot include the sites of measurable disease unless clear tumour progression has been documented in them since the end of radiation therapy. Patients who have had adjuvant therapy and then progressed after a year of completing adjuvant therapy are eligible. Patients who have received an oral inhibitor for molecularly stratified subgroups e.g. EGFR or ALK mutated lung cancer, are allowed. Immunotherapy e.g. with a PD1 or PDL1 targeted agent is allowed.
  • Adequate organ function, including the following:
  • Adequate bone marrow reserve: White cell count ≥ 3.0 x 109/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L, haemoglobin ≥ 90g/L.
  • Hepatic: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (x ULN); alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN. ALP, AST, and ALT ≤ 5 x ULN is acceptable if the liver has tumour involvement.
  • Renal: calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 50mL/min using Cockcroft-Gault or Wright formula, serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • If blood count/morphology suggestive of MDS/AML, no features suggestive of MDS/AML on peripheral blood smear.
  • +19 more criteria
