About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Olaparib in Patients With Advanced Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (TOPARP)
This is an open-label, single arm, two part adaptive design phase II trial of Olaparib in patients with advanced castration resistant prostate cancer.
The trial aims to evaluate the the anti-tumour activity of Olaparib in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, identify molecular signatures of tumour cells in responding and non-responding patients, and to identify predictive biomarkers of Olaparib response.
Read the detailed description
Patients with advanced castration resistant prostate cancer will receive single agent Olaparib at a dose of 400mg twice daily, continuously on a 28 day cycle. Olaparib will be administered until objective disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal for whatever reason
- Conditions

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
OlaparibDrug
Also called AZD2281
Until objective disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient withdrawal for whatever reason
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Olaparib 400mg | Experimental | Oral Olaparib at a dose of 400mg twice daily, continuously on a 28 day cycle Receives: Drug: Olaparib |
| Olaparib 300mg | Experimental | Oral Olaparib at a dose of 300mg twice daily, continuously on a 28 day cycle Receives: Drug: Olaparib |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Response rate to Olaparib
Response will be defined on the basis of the following outcomes, if any of these occur patients will be considered to have responded:
- Objective response by modified RECIST
- PSA decline of ≥50% according to the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2
- Conversion of circulating tumour cell count from ≥5 cells/7.5ml blood at baseline to <5 cells/7.5ml blood confirmed by at least two readings 4 weeks apart
Measured: Response will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Secondary outcomes (9)
Radiographic progression free survival
rPFS will be defined by either RECIST progression and/or progression on bone scan. It will be measured from the date of trial entry to the first occurence of radiographic progression or death from any cause
Measured: Radiographic progression free survival will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Progression free survival
PFS will be measured from date of trial entry until radiographic progression, unequivocal clinical progression or death
Measured: Progression free survival will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Time to PSA Progression
For patients who have achieved ≥50% decrease from the cycle 1 day 1 (baseline), the PSA progression date is defined as the date that a ≥25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥2ng.mL above the nadir is documented. This must be confirmed by a second consecutive value. For patients without a PSA decrease of this magnitude or no decrease at all, PSA progression date is defined as the date that a ≥ 25% increase and an absolute increase of ≥ 2 ng/mL above the baseline is documented. This must also be confirmed by a second consecutive value.
Measured: Time to PSA progression will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
CTC count conversion rate
Proportion of patients with conversion of CTC count from ≥5/7.5ml blood at baseline to <5/7.5ml blood nadir
Measured: CTC count conversion rate will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Duration of PSA response
Duration of PSA response is calculated from the time the PSA value first declines by at least 50% of the cycle 1 day 1 (baseline) value (must be confirmed by a second value) until the time there is an increase of 25% of PSA nadir, provided the absolute increase is at least 2 ng/mL. The increase must be confirmed by a second consecutive measurement.
Measured: Duration of PSA response will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Number of participants with grade 3 or 4 adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability.
The proportion of patients with grade 3/4 adverse events will be described along with other descriptive measures of safety and tolerability and evaluated by the IDMC
Measured: Will be evaluated 1) when the first 5 and 10 participants have completed the 1st cycle of treatment and, 2) at 6 months post trial entry.
Time to radiographic progression
Time to radiographic progression (progression defined by either RECIST progression and /or progression on bone scan) will be measured from the date of trial entry to the first occurrence of radiographic progression. Death from prostate cancer or any other cause without prior radiographic evidence of progression will not count as an event.
Measured: Will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
Overall survival
OS will be measured from the date of trial entry to the date of death (whatever the cause). Survival time of living patients will be censored on the last date a patient is known to be alive or lost to follow-up
Measured: Will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry
PSA objective response
PSA response and PSA progression are defined according to the consensus guidelines of the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2.
Measured: Will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate, run by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom at 2 sites in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Response rate to Olaparib (time frame: Response will be evaluated 6 months post trial entry). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01682772, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Aug 2019.
