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

Who may be able to join

  • For inclusion in the study, patients must fulfill the following criteria:
  • Patients ≥ 18 years of age
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 and a life expectancy of at least 6 months.
  • For Cohorts A-C, and Cohort D, Part II, patients must have high grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer histologically or cytologically confirmed that is recurrent and for which standard curative measures do not exist or are no longer effective. For Cohort D, Part I, patients may have any non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (including histologies such as clear cell, or endometrioid). Pathology must be reviewed internally at the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, or Harvard University prior to initiation of treatment.
  • All patients under consideration for Cohorts A, B, C, and D, must be willing to undergo mandatory tumor biopsies (non-target lesion). Patients should have at least one lesion (non-target) for biopsy. However, for patients in Cohorts A, B, C, and D, if patients are found to not have a safe lesion to biopsy by the radiology team, they may still be enrolled in the study and forego the biopsy. Patients who undergo attempted biopsies that are unsuccessful may still enroll and receive study drug.
  • All patients must have a measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.

  • Germline BRCA mutation status:
  • Cohorts A and B: Patients with unknown BRCA status or negative BRCA germline mutation status will be permitted to enroll in the study. Patients with known BRCA germline mutations will be permitted to enroll up to a maximum of 10 subjects per cohort.
  • Cohort C and Cohort D Part II: All subjects must have either a germline or somatic BRCA mutation, or other HRD mutation, or tumor is HRD positive. Other HRD mutations will be reviewed for consideration for enrollment by study review committee or University of Pennsylvania principal investigator.
  • Cohort D Part I: Patients will be enrolled irrespective of BRCA status.
  • Adequate renal function, defined as measured creatinine clearance ≥ 51 ml/min.
  • Adequate hepatic function, defined as AST and ALT levels ≤ 2.5 X ULN (for subjects with liver metastases, AST or ALT ≤ 5 × ULN) and total bilirubin < 1.5 X ULN, absent Gilbert's disease.
  • Adequate bone marrow function, defined as absolute neutrophil count (ANC ≥ 1.5 X 109/L), platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL (in the absence of transfusion within 28 days prior to dosing).
  • Patients must be at least 2 weeks from previous therapy for their ovarian cancer (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation therapy, or investigational agents; 6 weeks for mitomycin C) to initiate screening and 3 weeks from previous therapy to initiate treatment. Hormones for breast cancer management may be continued at the discretion of the provider.
  • Platinum-sensitive is defined as recurrence >6 months by RECIST 1.1 imaging from last platinum. Platinum-resistant is defined as recurrence ≤ 6 months by RECIST 1.1 imaging from last platinum regimen).
  • For Cohort A, there is no limit to number of prior regimens.
  • For Cohort B, patients may not have had more than 3 prior cytotoxic therapies since the development of platinum-resistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib Pill and AZD6738 in people with High Grade Serous Carcinoma, run by University of Pennsylvania at 3 sites in United States.

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 34 inclusion and 18 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 13 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

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?

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03462342.

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 13 Apr 2026.
