What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified RECIST 1.1 in Biomarker Subgroups
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. The ORR for all participants will be presented by biomarker subgroup.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Secondary outcomes (12)
Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 or PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 in Biomarker Subgroups
For participants who demonstrate a confirmed complete response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death. The DOR for all participants who experience a CR or PR will be presented by biomarker subgroup.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 or PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 in Biomarker Subgroups
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more lesions is also considered PD. The PFS for all participants will be presented by biomarker subgroup.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Overall Survival (OS) in Biomarker Subgroups
OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause. The OS for all participants will be presented by biomarker subgroup.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who experience at least one AE will be presented.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants who discontinue study treatment will be presented.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Tumor Biomarker Status as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 or PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 in Additional Biomarker Subpopulations
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1. ORR will be presented by biomarker subpopulation.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Duration of Response (DOR) Based on Tumor Biomarker Status as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 or PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 in Additional Biomarker Subpopulations
For participants who demonstrate a confirmed complete response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death. The DOR for all participants who experience a CR or PR will be presented by biomarker subpopulation.
Measured: Up to ~3 years
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on Tumor Biomarker Status as Assessed by RECIST 1.1 or PCWG-modified RECIST 1.1 in Additional Biomarker Subpopulations
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm.

Key inclusion criteria (9 listed)
- Has a histologically- or cytologically-confirmed advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) solid tumor (except breast or ovarian cancers whose tumor has a germline or somatic BRCA mutation) that is not eligible for curative treatment and for which standard of care therapy has failed. Participants must have progressed on or be intolerant to standard of care therapies that are known to provide clinical benefit. There is no limit on the number of prior treatment regimens.
- Has either centrally-confirmed known or suspected deleterious mutations in ≥1 of the specified 15 genes involved in HRR or centrally-confirmed HRD based on the Lynparza HRR-HRD assay.
- Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology and confirmed in real time by blinded independent central review (BICR). BICR must confirm the presence of radiologically measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 for the participant to be eligible for the study.
- Has a life expectancy of ≥3 months.
- Must have had CR or PR while on the last treatment with prior cisplatin or carboplatin, or if received only oxaliplatin had CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) while on the last treatment with prior oxaliplatin (either as monotherapy or in combination) for advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) solid tumor. Participant must also not have been refractory to prior platinum-containing therapy.
Key exclusion criteria (27 listed)
- Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment in the last 3 years. Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ, or cervical carcinoma in situ that has undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.
- Has a history of non-infectious pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required treatment with steroids or currently has pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
- Has myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.
- Has known central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
- Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib and Pembrolizumab in people with Solid Tumors, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 135 sites in 23 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 9 inclusion and 27 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 23 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 135 sites in United States, Turkey (Türkiye), Ukraine, Peru, Japan and 18 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?
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?
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified RECIST 1.1 in Biomarker Subgroups (time frame: 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 NCT04123366, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 23 Jun 2026.
