Study groups in NCT03742895
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort 1: BRCA1/2 MutatedExperimentalPer protocol, participants with tumors that harbor known or suspected deleterious mutations in breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 or gene 2 (BRCA1/2) based on the Lynparza homologous recombination repair-homologous recombination deficiency (HRR-HRD) Assay, excluding breast and ovarian cancers, were considered BRCA1/2 mutated and enrolled into Cohort 1: BRCA1/2. Participants with known or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2 were enrolled into Cohort 1 whether or not they were homologous recombination repair mutated (HRRm) positive for the other protocol specified genes in the Lynparza HRR-HRD Assay, or whether they had loss of heterozygosity (LOH) protocol specified score of ≥16. Participants in Cohort 1: BRCA1/2 received oral olaparib, 300 mg twice daily (BID) continuously until documented disease progression or discontinuation criteria were met.
Receives: Drug: Olaparib
Cohort 2: HRD+, HRR Non-mutatedExperimentalPer protocol, participants with tumors that do NOT have any known or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1/2, or any of the other protocol specified genes in the Lynparza HRR-HRD Assay (BRCA1/2 Non-mutated/HRR Non-mutated) but had a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) score greater than or equal to the protocol specified cutoff of 16, were considered homologous recombination deficiency positive (HRD+) and enrolled into Cohort 2: HRD+(BRCA1/2 non-mutated/HRR Non-mutated). Participants in Cohort 2: HRD+ (BRCA1/2 Non-mutated/HRR Non-mutated) received oral olaparib, 300 mg BID continuously until documented disease progression or discontinuation criteria were met.
Receives: Drug: Olaparib
Cohort 2: HRRm, BRCA1/2 Non-mutatedExperimentalPer protocol, participants with tumors that do NOT have any known or suspected deleterious mutations in BRCA1/2 but have known or suspected deleterious mutations in any of the other protocol specified genes in the Lynparza HRR-HRD Assay were considered homologous recombination repair mutated [HRRm] and were enrolled into Cohort 2: HRRm (BRCA1/2 Non-mutated). Participants in Cohort 2: HRRm (BRCA1/2 Non-mutated) received oral olaparib, 300 mg BID continuously until documented disease progression or discontinuation criteria were met.
Receives: Drug: Olaparib
Cohort 3: sBRCAm Breast CancerExperimentalPer protocol, participants with breast cancer tumors that harbor known or suspected deleterious somatic mutations in BRCA1/2 and do not harbor a germline BRCA1/2 mutation were enrolled into Cohort 3: somatic BRCA1/2 mutations (sBRCAm). Participants in Cohort3: sBRCAm Breast Cancer received oral olaparib, 300 mg BID continuously until documented disease progression or discontinuation criteria were met.
Receives: Drug: Olaparib

What is being measured

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

  1. Cohorts 1, 2, 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-Modified RECIST 1.1

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) as assessed by the BICR per modified RECIST 1.1. For participants with prostate cancer, response was assessed based on PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 criteria (CR: soft tissue CR with no evidence of disease [NED] on bone scan; PR: soft tissue PR with non-progressive disease, non-evaluable [NE], or NED on bone scan, or soft tissue CR with non-progressive disease, or NE bone scan). Per protocol, RECIST 1.1 was modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions in total and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The percentage of participants who experienced a CR or PR as assessed by BICR is presented.

    Measured: Up to approximately 78 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Advanced Solid Neoplasms, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 130 sites in 21 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 18 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 130 sites in United States, Russia, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and 16 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2026). 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?

Cohorts 1, 2, 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-Modified RECIST 1.1 (time frame: Up to approximately 78 months). 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 14 Aug 2026.
