What is the purpose of this trial?

This open label, randomised, controlled, multi-centre phase III study will assess the efficacy and safety of single agent olaparib vs standard of care based on physician's choice of capecitabine, vinorelbine or eribulin in metastatic breast cancer patients with gBRCA 1/2 mutations.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for metastatic breast cancer patients with a harmful BRCA1/2 gene mutation. They must have had prior treatments including an anthracycline and a taxane, possibly platinum, but not progressed on it. ER/PR positive patients should have tried endocrine therapy without success or been deemed unsuitable for it. No more than two chemotherapy lines for metastatic cancer are allowed, and they can't have untreated brain metastases or certain other cancers unless cured over 5 years ago.

Inclusion Criteria

I have a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation.

My breast cancer has spread and this was confirmed through testing.

I am fully active or can carry out light work.

Exclusion Criteria

My cancer is HER2 positive.

I have brain metastases that haven't been treated or controlled.

I am HIV positive.
