Brief Summary

OPHELIA (OPHELIA (OlaParib and durvalumab in HEad and neck squamous celL carcInomA) trial is a Greek, investigator-initiated, randomized open-label window-of-opportunity phase II study. Patients with operable histologically documented squamous-cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx will be randomized between combination with durvalumab and olaparib, cisplatin and olaparib, monotherapy with olaparib or no treatment, before starting standard treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Investigation of the change in the tumour Ki-67 before and after treatment with the combination of olaparib + durvalumab or olaparib + cisplatin or olaparib monotherapy.

    At baseline and at the day of the surgery or 2nd biopsy (at days 23-29 days)

Secondary Outcomes (23)

  • Objective response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Imaging studies will be performed at baseline and on week 4

  • Pathologic complete response rate

    On week 4 only for operable patients

  • Metabolic response rate assessed by FDG-PET/CT scan (optional)

    At baseline, on week 4

  • Number of participants with tolerability to the treatment.

    From the 1st day of therapy and every week for 4 weeks maximum and 90 days after last therapy administration

  • Surgical complication rate

    Up to 30 days after surgery or the day of initiation of the next anticancer therapy

  • +18 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (4)

Monotherapy with olaparib

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the monotherapy arm will be treated with olaparib until the 21st -28th day depending on the day of surgery, will be reassessed by imaging (tumour objective response by RECIST) on the 22nd -28th day and then have a second biopsy or be operated on the 23rd - 29th day. If surgery is delayed, olaparib will be continued until the day before surgery.

Drug: Olaparib

Combination of cisplatin and olaparib

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the cisplatin - olaparib combination arm will receive treatment until the 5th day, will be reassessed by imaging (tumour objective response by RECIST) on the 22nd -28th day and then will have a second biopsy or be operated on the 23rd - 29th day.

Drug: OlaparibDrug: Cisplatin

No treatment arm

NO INTERVENTION

Patients in the "no treatment" arm will wait to be operated or have a second biopsy on the 23rd - 29th day.Optionally, patients who have a baseline FDG-PET/CT scan may be re-examined on the 22nd -28th day by the same modality to assess metabolic response.

Combination of durvalumab and olaparib

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients in the durvalumab - olaparib combination arm will receive treatment until the 21th-28th day, will be reassessed by imaging (tumour objective response by RECIST) on the 22nd -28th day and then will have a second biopsy or be operated on the 23rd - 29th day. If surgery is delayed, olaparib will be continued until the day before surgery.

Drug: OlaparibDrug: Durvalumab
