Study Summary

This trial tests if olaparib can help ovarian cancer patients with a specific genetic mutation after initial treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for advanced ovarian cancer patients with BRCAwt and homologous recombination deficiency. Participants must have a good performance status, life expectancy over 16 months, normal organ/marrow function, measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria, and no prior enrollment in this study or recent investigational drug use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effectiveness of olaparib tablets as maintenance therapy following initial platinum-based treatment in these specific ovarian cancer patients. It's a prospective non-randomized study focusing on those without BRCA mutations but with homologous recombination deficiencies.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Olaparib may cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, anemia (low red blood cell counts), vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, headache, decreased appetite or taste changes. Some people might experience more serious issues like lung problems or blood clots.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the fundamental aim of this trial?

"This clinical trial, slated to run for a maximum of 12 months, is designed with Progression-free Survival (PFS) as the primary outcome. Secondary criteria include Second Progression-free Survival (PFS2), Overall Survival (OS), and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Each dimension will yield one score on a 0-100 scale, where higher values indicate improved patient health outcomes. Minimal clinically important difference has been determined to be ±10 points."

Answered by AI

Is this research trial still accepting participants?

"Based on the information from clinicaltrials.gov, it appears as though this trial is no longer recruiting patients. It was initially posted November 1st 2023 and its last update occurred that same day; nonetheless, there are 690 other trials actively seeking participants at present."

Answered by AI

What has been the response to Olaparib as a long-term treatment?

"The safety of Olaparib (maintenance) was estimated to be a 2 on our scale from 1-3. This is due to its Phase 2 trial status, which implies some data can attest to the drug's safety, but none for efficacy."
