Study Summary
This trial is studying how well olaparib works in treating patients with AML or MDS that has relapsed or is refractory. Olaparib may stop cancer cell growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth.
Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with relapsed or refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) with an IDH mutation, who have tried first-line therapy without success. Participants must be in stable health otherwise, not pregnant, and willing to use contraception. Those with uncontrolled infections, other active cancers needing treatment, or known hypersensitivity to olaparib are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Olaparib for patients whose AML or MDS has returned after treatment or hasn't responded at all. The study aims to determine if Olaparib can block enzymes that cancer cells need to grow and whether it's better than standard chemotherapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Olaparib may cause side effects like nausea, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk, shortness of breath, headaches and dizziness. Some people might experience more serious issues affecting their lungs or kidneys.
