Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat advanced solid tumors. The goal is to find the maximum tolerated dose of the new drug combination. Approximately 50 patients from 2 countries will be enrolled.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced solid tumors that can't be removed by surgery or treated with radiation to cure them. Participants must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks and measurable disease as defined by RECIST criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and best dose of AZD2281 when used together with Cisplatin in people with advanced solid tumors. It's an early-phase, open-label trial involving up to 60 patients from two countries.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, kidney damage from Cisplatin, and gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, blood count changes due to AZD2281. The exact side effects will be studied as part of this trial.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine the safety and tolerability of AZD2281 in combination with Cisplatin (eg Adverse Events, Pharmacokinetic for AZD2281, overall response rate) to patients with advanced solid tumours.
Secondary outcome measures
To compare exposure to AZD2281 when given alone and in combination with Cisplatin (Only in patients receiving continuous dosing of AZD2281).

Olaparib is available as a film-coated tablet containing 150 mg or 100 mg of olaparib. Subjects will be administered study treatment orally at a dose recommended by Investigator. Full dose: 300 mg twice daily (bid) or Reduced doses: 200 mg twice daily (bid) or 100 mg twice daily (bid). The planned dose of 300 mg bid will be made up of two x 150 mg tablets twice daily, with 100 mg tablets used to manage dose reductions.
