Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Epithelial ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer) patients that are or had received treatment with Olaparib.

Who may be able to join

  • Previous or current treatment with Olaparib in a clinical trial/standard of care that included one of the following as a first step study for epithelial ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer):
  • single agent olaparib given for relapsed disease or
  • single agent olaparib given as maintenance therapy after response to platinum based chemotherapy or
  • olaparib combined with platinum based chemotherapy and then continued as maintenance therapy or
  • olaparib combined with other types of therapy
  • Had a durable response to Olaparib defined as patients who have benefited from olaparib for > 18 months. Patients who discontinued Olaparib due to toxicities but otherwise meet the definition of a durable response will be included or the control group is patients who had a short duration benefit with Olaparib of less than 6 months in any individual clinical trial/standard of care
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Patient's willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.

Who cannot join

  • Any severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that would render the patient unsuitable for biopsy
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women

About this study

Official title: A Retrospective/Prospective Analysis of Characterization of the Long-Term Responders on Olaparib in Solid Tumours

This is an observational and sample collection study involving patients (alive or deceased) from several clinical trials who had received the investigational drug, olaparib in other research studies. There is no intervention given for this study.

This research is being done to understand of the mechanisms involved in patients whose cancer responds well and whose cancer does not respond well to investigational drug, olaparib, to help better understand how olaparib works and to better identify patients who may benefit from this therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is study will compare biomarker research with response in patients who have received olaparib.

Patients who have had a durable response to olaparib for at least 2 years will be approached for the study.

Patients who agree to this study will then have their medical history collected and will be asked to complete a questionnaire. Archival tumor tissue will also be collected for biomarker research.

A waiver of consent is requested to access the medical records and archival tumor tissue of patients who are deceased.

If participants are still taking olaparib, they will be asked to provide blood samples for pharmacokinetics and circulating tumor DNA, and the results of CT scans taken as part of their standard of care or as a part of another research study. If participants' disease worsens while still on olaparib, they will then be asked to provide a blood sample for pharmacogenomics and BRCA testing (if not known). An optional tumor biopsy will also be requested.

Participants will continue to be followed by telephone for survival and any new treatments they are receiving.

Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube Neoplasms

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The number of patients with somatic BRCA mutations compared to number of patients without somatic BRCA mutations

    Measured: 4 years

  2. The number of patients with homologous recombination repair deficiencies compared to the number of patients that do not have homologous recombination repair deficiencies.

    Measured: 4 years

  3. The number and types of mutated genes.

    Measured: 4 years

  4. The number of patients with antibodies to the study drug

    Measured: 4 years

  5. Evaluate the levels of PI3K/Akt pathway expression per patient

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. HRR deficiency profile

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Level of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) expression

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Signature of PARP response compared with signature of platinum sensitivity

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Signature of PARP response and PARP resistance on different tumour sites

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 8 sites in 5 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The number of patients with somatic BRCA mutations compared to number of patients without somatic BRCA mutations (time frame: 4 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Jan 2023.
