Study Description

Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, international, multicenter, Phase II study designed to explore the efficacy of olaparib or olaparib in combination with durvalumab in platinum-treated mTNBC. The primary objectives are to explore olaparib or olaparib in combination with durvalumab as maintenance therapy following clinical benefit with platinum-based therapy in subjects with mTNBC.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Triple Negative Breast Cancer	Drug: Olaparib Oral Product; Drug: Olaparib Oral Product in combination with Durvalumab	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Subjects suitable for enrollment into this trial are adult subjects with histologically documented triple negative adenocarcinoma of the breast that is inoperable, locally advanced, or metastatic, and is not amenable to resection with curative intent, and who have received at least 4 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy in the 1st or 2nd line setting AND derived clinical benefit (CR / PR / SD) per RECIST 1.1 with platinum-based therapy as determined by the treating physician.

Eligible subjects will be randomized to either olaparib or olaparib in combination with durvalumab. Study treatment will continue until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, elective withdrawal from the study, or study completion or termination. Upon treatment discontinuation, subjects will be followed every 2 months for survival.

Although randomization will be used to allocate subjects to either the olaparib or olaparib in combination with durvalumab arm, no comparisons between treatment regimens are planned. The purpose of randomization was to reduce bias due to subject selection into either treatment arm.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Efficacy of Olaparib Alone as Assessed by PFS (Progression-free Survival) Reported as Events Per Month [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of documented progression or date of death, whichever came first, approximately 1 year. ]
   PFS, defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause on study for olaparib alone. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Death on study is defined as death from any cause within 30 days of the last dose of study treatment regimen. Reported as events (disease progression or death) per month.
2. Efficacy of Olaparib in Combination With Durvalumab as Assessed by PFS (Progression-free Survival) [ Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of documented progression or date of death, whichever came first, approximately 1 year. ]
   PFS, as defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression (as determined using RECIST v1.1 criteria and assessed by the investigator) or death from any cause on study for olaparib in combination with durvalumab. Death on study is defined as death from any cause within 30 days of the last dose of study treatment regimen. Reported as (disease progression or death) events per month.
