E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the efficacy of Olaparib vs. physician’s choice single agent chemotherapy by assessment of progression free survival using blinded independent central review. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of single agent olaparib versus physician’s choice single agent chemotherapy by assesment of:
• Overall Survival,
•Time to second progression,
• Time to earliest progression by RECIST or CA-125 or death,
• Time to first subsequent therapy or death,
• Time to second subsequent therapy or death,
• Time to study treatment discontinuation or death;
To compare the efficacy of single agent olaparib versus physician’s choice single agent chemotherapy on the Health-related Quality of Life
To assess efficacy of olaparib in patients identified as having a deleterious or suspected deleterious variant in either of the BRCA genes using variants identified with current and future BRCA mutation assays (e.g. gene sequencing and large rearrangement analysis). |

· Age < 60 and any one of the conditions below:
Amenorrheic for 1 year or more in the absence of chemotherapy and/or hormonal treatments;

- Exposure to any investigational product within 30 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to randomisation
- Any previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib.

- Other malignancy within the last 5 years except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer of the cervix, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), Stage 1, grade 1 endometrial carcinoma, or other solid tumours including lymphomas (without bone marrow involvement) curatively treated with no evidence of disease for
≥5 years. Patients with history of primary breast cancer may be eligible provided they completed their definitive anticancer treatment more than 3 years ago and they remain breast cancer disease free prior to randomisation
- Clinical significant abnormality on resting ECG
- Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy within 3 weeks prior to first randomisation (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used) or radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to randomisation.
- Previous single agent exposure to the selected chemotherapy regimen for randomisation
- Concomitant use of known potent CYP3A4/5 inhibitors such as ketoconazole,
itraconazole, boosted protease inhibitors (ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir,
telithromycin, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) and clarithromycin
- Persistent toxicities (> Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia and CTCAE grade 2 peripheral neuropathy.
- Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/treatment related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML)
- Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases.
- Major surgery within 2 weeks of starting study treatment and patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery.
- Patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection.
- Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication.
- Breastfeeding women.
- Patients with a known hypersensitivity to olaparib or any of the excipients of the product.
- Patients with known active hepatitis B or C or HIV.
- Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation
- Whole blood transfusions in the last 120 days prior to randomization
