MEDI4736 + Olaparib for Advanced Cancers
(MEDIOLA Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness, safety, and antitumor activity of study drugs MEDI4736 in combination with olaparib (modules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7) and MEDI4736 in combination with olaparib and bevacizumab (module 6). It will also examine what happens to the study drugs in the body and investigate how well the combination between MEDI4736, olaparib and bevacizumab is tolerated.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you stop taking certain medications, such as strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and inducers, and any other anticancer therapy or chronic use of systemic corticosteroids. If you are on these medications, you may need to stop them before participating.
Is the combination of MEDI4736 and Olaparib safe for humans?
Olaparib (Lynparza) has been studied for safety in various cancers, including ovarian and breast cancer, and is generally considered safe for human use. It has been tested in different populations, such as Japanese and Chinese patients, showing a consistent safety profile. However, specific safety data for the combination with MEDI4736 is not provided in the available research.12345
What makes the drug combination of MEDI4736 and Olaparib unique for advanced cancers?
The combination of MEDI4736 (a type of immunotherapy) and Olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) is unique because it targets cancer cells in two different ways: boosting the immune system to attack cancer and blocking cancer cells' ability to repair their DNA, which may be particularly effective in cancers with DNA repair issues.16789
