  • Ages 18 to 130 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures. For patients aged <20 years and screened in Japan, a written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and his or her legally acceptable representative.
  • Patients must be ≥18 years of age.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-ve breast cancer with evidence of metastatic disease. Patients can have either TNBC (defined as oestrogen receptor and progesterone receptor negative [immunohistochemistry nuclear staining <1%] and HER2-ve [immunohistochemistry 0, 1+ or 2+ and/or in situ hybridization nonamplified with ratio less than 2.0]) or oestrogen receptor / progesterone receptor positive breast cancer as long as they are HER2-ve.
  • Documented BRCA1/2 status
  • To be regarded as BRCA1/2 (+ve), the patient must have a mutation that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious (known or predicted to be detrimental / lead to loss of function). Mutations that are not clearly pathogenic may be assessed by a committee of genetic specialists to adjudicate if the patient is eligible.
  • Patients with tBRCA mutations: must be confirmed by a validated method (e.g. results from a CLIA-certified laboratory or CE-IVD device)

  • Prior treatment with a taxane or an anthracycline in either an adjuvant (may include neoadjuvant) or metastatic breast cancer treatment setting.
  • Patients should have received no more than two prior cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting. If a patient has oestrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer and has completed a prior line of hormonal treatment, then if the current or currently planned choice of treatment for the patient does not include a hormonal treatment then they would be a suitable patient to enter the study. Previous endocrine therapy could be in either an adjuvant or a metastatic setting and include endocrine therapy in combination with a targeted agent such as a CDK4/6 or mTOR inhibitor.
  • Be considered suitable, by the Investigator, for further treatment with single-agent chemotherapy for the metastatic disease
  • Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 14 days prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:

About this study

Official title: A Phase IIIb, Single-arm, Open-label Multicentre Study of Olaparib Monotherapy in the Treatment of HER2-ve Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients With Germline or Somatic BRCA1/2 Mutations.

This open-label, multi-centre phase IIIb study will assess the effectiveness, benefits and potential harms in the use of olaparib monotherapy treatment for patients with HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer associated with germline or somatic breast cancer susceptibility gene (gBRCA1/2 or sBRCA1/2) mutations.

Read the detailed description

The study is a phase IIIb, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study designed to evaluate the clinical effectiveness in a real-world setting of olaparib monotherapy in patients with confirmed germline or somatic breast cancer susceptibility gene (gBRCA1/2 or sBRCA1/2) mutations. This study will generate additional data to support other olaparib studies, which may help inform and guide clinical practice. Physician defined the progression-free survival (PFS) for gBRCAm patients is the primary outcome measure. Based on the prevalence of gBRCA1/2 mutations, it is estimated that up to 1400 patients may require screening in order to identify 250 gBRCA mutated patients and 20 sBRCA mutated patients. Patients will be administered two olaparib 150mg tablets in morning and evening of every day after a light meal. Dose reductions may be required for olaparib treatment related toxicities. Patients should continue to receive study treatment until documented physician-defined disease progression as assessed by the investigator (gBRCA mutated patients), RECIST1.1 disease progression (sBRCA mutated patients) or unacceptable toxicity, or for as long as they do not meet any other discontinuation criteria. A positive benefit/risk profile is expected and no ethical issues are identified from exposing patients to olaparib within the planned clinical study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) in Real-world Setting in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting through assessment of PFS in germline BRCA mutated patients was evaluated. PFS is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to the date of progression or death from any cause. In this study, disease progression in gBRCAm patients will be based on Investigator assessment, i.e. radiological ( e.g. RECIST) progression, symptomatic progression, or clear progression of non-measurable disease, as long as progression can be documented.

    Measured: At every visit until the earliest of disease progression, death or end of study (up to 3 years)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Overall Survival (OS) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of overall survival in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. OS is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: At every visit and until death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  2. Time to First Subsequent Treatment or Death (TFST) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of time to use of subsequent therapies, second progression, and study treatment discontinuation in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. TFST is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to first subsequent treatment commencement or death if this occurs before commencement of first subsequent treatment.

    Measured: At every visit until start of first subsequent anticancer treatment or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  3. Time to Second Subsequent Treatment or Death (TSST) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of time to use of subsequent therapies, second progression, and study treatment discontinuation in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. TSST is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to second subsequent treatment commencement or death if this occurs before commencement of second subsequent treatment.

    Measured: At every visit until start of second subsequent anticancer treatment or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  4. Time to Study Treatment Discontinuation or Death (TDT) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of time to use of subsequent therapies, second progression, and study treatment discontinuation in germline BRCA mutated patients was determined. TDT is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to study treatment discontinuation or death if this occurs before discontinuation of study treatment.

    Measured: At every visit and until discontinuation of study treatment or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  5. Time to Second Progression or Death (PFS2) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of time to use of subsequent therapies, second progression, and study treatment discontinuation in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. PFS2 is defined as the time from first dose of olaparib to the earliest progression event subsequent to that used for the primary variable PFS or death from any cause. Patients alive and for whom a second disease progression has not been observed will be censored at the last time known to be alive and without a second disease progression. In this study, disease progression in gBRCAm patients will be based on Investigator assessment, i.e. radiological ( e.g. RECIST) progression, symptomatic progression, or clear progression of non-measurable disease, as long as progression can be documented

    Measured: At every visit until second progression or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  6. Clinical Response Rate (CRR) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of clinical response rate and duration of clinical response in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. CRR is defined as the percentage of patients assessed by the Investigator as responding. Response in gBRCAm patients were based on the Investigator's assessment. Data obtained up until progression, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, will be included in the assessment of CRR. However, any responses, which occurred after a further anticancer therapy was received, will not be included in the numerator for the CRR calculation.

    Measured: At every visit until disease progression or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  7. Duration of Clinical Response (DoCR) in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants

    The clinical effectiveness of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer participants in a real-world setting by assessment of clinical response rate and duration of clinical response in germline BRCA mutated participants was determined. DoCR is defined as the time from the date the Investigator first assessed the patient as responding to the date the Investigator assessed the patient as progressing or the date of death from any cause. The end of response should coincide with the date of progression or death used for the PFS endpoint. The time of the initial response will be defined as the latest of the dates contributing towards the first visit response. If a patient does not progress following a response, they will be censored at the PFS censoring date.

    Measured: At every visit until disease progression or death or end of study (up to 3 years)

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    The safety and tolerability of olaparib treatment in HER2-ve metastatic breast cancer patients in a real-word setting was evaluated.

    Measured: From Screening (Day -28 to Day -1) until post DCO [up to 3 years]

The record lists 123 sites in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia and 10 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) in Real-world Setting in Germline BRCA Mutated Participants (time frame: At every visit until the earliest of disease progression, death or end of study (up to 3 years)). 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 NCT03286842, which also lists 2 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 17 Jan 2023.
