About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Olaparib in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Harboring a BAP-1 or Other DNA Repair Gene Mutations (ORCHID)

Single arm, single site, open-label Phase II study of the effects of oral olaparib in participants with metastatic renal cell carcinoma that harbor an inactivating mutation in BAP-1, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, CHEK2, BRIP1, RAD51C, BARD1, CDK12, CHEK1, FANCL, PP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD51D, or RAD54L who have had prior treatment with at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor or anti-VEGF therapy. Must have measurable disease on CT imaging per RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Read the detailed description

The trial will enroll up to 20 participants. Following enrollment, participants will be initially treated with olaparib 150mg by mouth twice daily for one month. After one month of therapy, the dose of olaparib will be increased to 300mg by mouth twice daily provided there are no grade 3 or greater adverse events experienced. All participants will be reassessed at least monthly for toxicity, including laboratory investigations. Radiological scans will be performed approximately every 3 months to assess for disease response. Treatment will be continued until clinical and/or radiographic progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria or unmanageable toxicity requiring cessation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OlaparibDrug

    Also called Lynparza, AZD2281, KU-0059436, Polyadenosine 5'diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor

    Olaparib is a crystalline solid, is non-chiral and shows pH-independent solubility of approximately 0.1 mg/mL across the physiological range. Olaparib is presented for oral administration as a green, film-coated tablet containing 25 mg, 100 mg or 150 mg of drug substance. The 100 mg strength is also available as a yellow, film-coated tablet. The 25 mg, 100 mg and 150 mg strengths of olaparib tablets are composed of the same constituents. The tablet cores comprise: olaparib, copovidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, mannitol and sodium stearyl fumarate. The composition of the green tablet film coating is: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose), macrogol 400 (polyethylene glycol 400), titanium dioxide, iron oxide yellow and iron oxide black. The yellow tablet film coating only differs from the green film coating with the omission of iron oxide black.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Renal Cell Carcinoma and Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 1 site 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 26 inclusion and 22 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Irina Rifkind, RN, MSN (410-502-2043, irifkin1@jhmi.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response or Stable Disease to Olaparib Therapy at Six Months (time frame: 6 months post-intervention). 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 30 Mar 2026.
