NCT01874353

Brief Summary

A Phase III, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-centre study to assess the efficacy of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in relapsed high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients (including patients with primary peritoneal and / or fallopian tube cancer) or high grade endometrioid cancer with BRCA mutations (documented mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious (known or predicted to be detrimental/lead to loss of function)) who have responded following platinum based chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) Using Investigator Assessment According to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1)

    To determine the efficacy by progression free survival (PFS) (using investigator assessment according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1)) of olaparib maintenance monotherapy compared to placebo in BRCA mutated relapsed ovarian cancer patients who are in complete or partial response following platinum based chemotherapy.

    Radiologic scans performed at baseline then every ~12 weeks up to 72 weeks, then every ~ 24 weeks thereafter until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed until 19 Sep 2016 DCO (16 Jan 2017 DCO for China Cohort); up to a maximum of 36 months.

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Efficacy in Patients Following Platinum Based Chemotherapy by Assessment of Overall Survival

    Survival assessed every 4 weeks until treatment discontinues, then every 12 weeks. Assessed until 03 Feb 2020 DCO; up to a maximum of 75 months.

  • Efficacy in Patients Following Platinum Based Chemotherapy by Assessment of Time to Earliest Progression by RECIST or Cancer Antigen (CA-125) or Death

    CA-125 at baseline then every 4 wks. Radiologic scans at baseline then every ~12 wks up to 72 wks, then every ~ 24 wks until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed until 19Sep2016 DCO (16Jan2017 DCO for China Cohort); up to a max of 36 mths.

  • Efficacy in Patients Following Platinum Based Chemotherapy by Assessment of Time From Randomization to Second Progression

    Scans at baseline then every 12 wks for 72 wks, then every 24 wks until first progression. Assessments then per local practice every 12 wks until second progression. Assessed until 19Sep2016 DCO (16Jan2017 DCO for China Cohort); up to a max of 36 mths

  • Change From Baseline in Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as Assessed by the the Trial Outcome Index (TOI) of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian (FACT-O)

    Questionnaires completed by patient at baseline, Day 29 and then every 12 weeks for 12 months. Assessed until 19 Sep 2016 DCO.

  • Efficacy of Olaparib by Time to First Subsequent Therapy or Death (TFST)

    Time elapsed from randomization to first subsequent therapy or death. Assessed every 12 weeks following treatment discontinuation. Assessed until 03 Feb 2020 DCO; up to a maximum of 75 months.

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Placebo tablets

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Taken orally twice daily

Drug: Placebo to match olaparib 300mg

Interventions

300mg Olaparib or placebo tablets taken orally twice daily until objective radiological disease progression as per RECIST as assessed by the investigator (or as long as in the investigator's opinion they are benefiting from treatment and they do not meet any other discontinuation criteria). Dose reduction to 250mg and subsequently 200mg is permitted following confirmation of toxicity.

  • For the penultimate chemotherapy course prior to enrolment on the study:
  • Patient defined as platinum sensitive after this treatment; defined as disease progression greater than 6 months after completion of their last dose of platinum chemotherapy
  • For the last chemotherapy course immediately prior to randomisation on the study:
  • Patients must be, in the opinion of the investigator, in response (partial or complete radiological response), or may have no evidence of disease (if optimal cytoreductive surgery was conducted prior to chemotherapy), and no evidence of a rising CA-125, following completion of this chemotherapy course
  • Patient must have received a platinum based chemotherapy regimen (e.g. carboplatin or cisplatin) and have received at least 4 cycles of treatment
  • Patients must be randomized within 8 weeks of their last dose of chemotherapy
  • Maintenance treatment is allowed at the end of the penultimate platinum regimen, including bevacizumab

You may not qualify if:

  • Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).
  • BRCA 1 and/or BRCA2 mutations that are considered to be non detrimental (e.g., "Variants of uncertain clinical significance" or "Variant of unknown significance" or "Variant, favor polymorphism" or "benign polymorphism" etc.)
  • Patients who have had drainage of their ascites during the final 2 cycles of their last chemotherapy regimen prior to enrolment on the study.
