E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of 6 cycles of pre-operative carboplatin/olaparib with 6 cycles of pre-operative taxane/anthracycline-based chemotherapy (TAC) in tumors exhibiting positive homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status when measured by centrally assessed RCB at the time of surgery. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To compare the efficacy of 6 cycles of pre-operative carboplatin/olaparib with 6 cycles of pre-operative taxane/anthracycline-based chemotherapy (TAC) in tumors exhibiting positive HRD status when measured by pCR at the time of surgery. • To compare patient-reported quality of life (QoL) and sexual health (SH) in patients treated with pre-operative carboplatin/olaparib vs. patients treated with pre-operative TAC overall and by subgroups defined by menopausal status (only women) or age at randomization at multiple pre-specified time points.

Study title sub-study: Adjuvant olaparib in Patients with triple-negative primary breast cancer and positive homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status, who have received at least 4 cycles of neoadjuvant treatment with olaparib/carboplatin or taxane/anthracycline Date & Version of sub-study: Protocol Version 3.0 (15 Feb-2023) -> Appendix F: Olaparib Adjuvant Substudy Objectives: Explorative objective: to evaluate safety and tolerability of adjuvant olaparib treatment for 1 year after neoadjuvant treatment with at least 4 cycles of olaparib in combination with carboplatin or at least 4 cycles of standard chemotherapy TAC, followed by definitive surgery.

Pre-menopausal (incl. peri-menopausal) and postmenopausal women and men with core-biopsied, early primary triple-negative (acc. to local standards) invasive breast cancer 4. Positive HRD status (centrally assessed) in core-biopsy sample of the breast 5. Absence of distant metastasis (M0) as assessed acc. to institutional standards within 90 days prior to randomization 6. Unilateral early invasive TNBC patients. 7. Willingness to undergo adequate lymph node procedures (e.g., sentinel/ axillary lymph node dissection) acc. to institutional standards 8. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to randomization as defined below: • Haemoglobin (Hb) ≥10.0 g/dL • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L • Absence of known Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)/ Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and no features suggestive of MDS/ AML on *peripheral blood smear (*For patients randomized according to protocol version 2.0, peripheral blood smear only has to be performed if haematology assessment during screening shows abnormalities that require further clarification) • White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3.0 x 109/L • Platelet count ≥100 x 109/L • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) • AST (SGOT)/ ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional ULN • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x institutional ULN or creatinine clearance using the Cockcroft-Gault equation ≥51 mL/min 9. ECOG performance status 0-1 10. Negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) max. 28 days prior to randomization for women with childbearing potential: • Pregnancy testing does not need to be pursued in patients who are judged as postmenopausal before randomization, as determined by local practice, or who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy, total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation 11. Women of childbearing potential and male patients randomized into treatment Arm A or B must use adequate contraception for the duration of protocol treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of (N)IMP for women and 3 months for male patients. Adequate contraception is defined as one highly effective form (i.e. total abstinence, (fe)male sterilization) OR two effective forms (e.g. non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) and condom/occlusive cap with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository) 12. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, incl. undergoing treatment, scheduled visits and examinations |

Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 6 months (i.e. 183 days) prior to randomization 4. Any previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib 5. Prior ipsilateral invasive breast cancer and/or ipsilateral Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) and/or prior chemotherapy for any breast cancer • Patients with contralateral invasive breast cancer and/or contralateral DCIS diagnosed ≥5 years prior to randomization if curatively treated without chemotherapy are eligible 6. Bilateral invasive breast cancer 7.
