Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment that combines two existing treatments. The first part of the trial is to make sure the treatment is safe, and then they will assess how well it works.

Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal cancer who've had prior treatment including fluoropyrimidine and platinum drugs. They must be able to swallow pills, have good organ function, and a specific gene mutation related to DNA repair. Pregnant women can't join; men and women must agree to contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This phase II trial tests if olaparib combined with radiation therapy followed by olaparib plus pembrolizumab improves outcomes in patients with certain genetic mutations after previous treatments for their advanced stomach cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, skin reactions from radiation, immune-related conditions due to pembrolizumab (like inflammation of organs), blood count changes, and potential allergic reactions to the medications used.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the safeness profile of Olaparib for those undergoing treatment?

"Olaparib is believed to be moderately safe, and thus earned a score of 2. This assessment was made given that the drug has yet to pass efficacy testing though there is some evidence corroborating its safety profile."

Answered by AI

Does this research endeavor permit those aged thirty and above to participate?

"As per the requirements of this clinical trial, individuals must be aged 18 or older but no more than 100 years old."

Answered by AI

Who are the ideal candidates for this trial?

"This clinical trial is enrolling 26 individuals aged 18 to 100 suffering from gastroesophageal cancer. In order for patients to be eligible, they must meet the following requirements: being of legal age; having a primary tumor or an isolated metastatic site amenable to radiation in their stomach, esophagus, liver, lungs, pancreas thoracic/abdominal lymph nodes or soft tissues (biopsied sites should not be radiated); undergoing NGS testing at a CLIA certified laboratory with CAP tested and bioinformatics-validated protocols prior starting treatment; signing and dating the consent form; possessing one"

Answered by AI

Is there currently any opportunity to enroll in this clinical trial?

"According to its clinicaltrials.gov page, this trial has closed recruitment as of May 19th 2022. However, there are still 643 other trials actively searching for candidates at the present moment."
