Ovarian Cancer | Drug: Olaparib + durvalumab + UV1 | Phase 2 |
STUDY DESIGN This prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized phase II maintenance study is evaluating the efficacy of UV1-olaparib-durvalumab combination as maintenance therapy after platinum combination therapy for BRCAwt patients with relapsed ovarian cancer.
Number of total subjects to be included in the trial:
184 patients will be enrolled in the study.
Patients are randomized into one of the three treatment arms, (A:B:C), in a 1:1:2 randomization:
- Arm A (olaparib): 46 subjects
- Arm B (olaparib plus durvalumab): 46 subjects
- Arm C (olaparib plus durvalumab plus UV1): 92 subjects
Patients are stratified according to:
- HRD status
- Previous use of PARP inhibitor (yes/no)
Primary objective:
• To compare the preliminary efficacy of maintenance treatment with olaparib (arm A) to that of olaparib plus durvalumab and UV1 (arm C)
Secondary objectives:
- To compare the preliminary efficacy of maintenance treatment with olaparib plus durvalumab (arm B) to that of olaparib plus durvalumab and UV1 (arm C)
- To compare the preliminary efficacy of maintenance treatment with olaparib plus durvalumab to that of olaparib plus durvalumab and UV1 according to stratification factors
- To evaluate Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) in treatment arms
- To compare the preliminary efficacy of maintenance treatment according to PD-L1 status
- To evaluate safety in treatment arms
Exploratory objectives:
- To describe genetic, molecular, and immunological mechanisms in blood and tumor of maintenance treatment.
- To explore the efficacy of maintenance treatment in the molecular subgroups based on homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status.
