ORION Trial Summary

This trialstudies if adding a drug to Durvalumab can help people with advanced NSCLC and no EGFR/ALK mutations after chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?

They must be able to perform daily activities with little or no assistance, swallow pills, and have proper kidney function and organ health.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The ORION study tests if adding Olaparib to Durvalumab maintenance therapy is more effective than Durvalumab alone after initial chemo in advanced lung cancer patients. It's a global Phase II trial where participants are randomly assigned treatment options in a blinded manner.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Durvalumab may cause immune-related issues like inflammation of organs, while Olaparib can lead to blood cell count changes, nausea, fatigue, respiratory infections and potential allergic reactions. Side effects vary among individuals.
