Summary
This trial is testing a combination of drugs to treat patients with advanced melanoma that has progressed despite other treatments. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells, and pembrolizumab may help the immune system attack the tumor. The trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of the combination.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced melanoma that can't be removed by surgery or has spread, and have specific gene changes called HR mutations. They must have tried immunotherapy and, if they have a BRAF mutation, also BRAF inhibitors without success or couldn't tolerate them. Participants need to be fairly healthy overall and not on high-dose steroids.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of Olaparib, which blocks enzymes helping tumor growth, with Pembrolizumab, an immune system booster against cancer. It's for patients whose melanoma worsened after previous treatments. The goal is to see how effective and safe this drug combo is in these cases.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Olaparib may cause nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anemia (low red blood cells), and more serious issues like lung problems or blood clots. Pembrolizumab might lead to flu-like symptoms, skin reactions, organ inflammation but could also result in severe immune system attacks on organs.

Other Research
Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, blocks the PARP enzyme involved in DNA repair, causing cancer cell death, especially in cells with DNA repair deficiencies. Pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, blocks the PD-1 pathway, enhancing the immune system's ability to attack cancer cells.
These mechanisms are vital for melanoma patients as they target cancer cells' repair and immune evasion capabilities, improving treatment outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- I have had lung inflammation from specific cancer treatment that needed steroids.I have had an organ, bone marrow, or cord blood transplant for cancer.My cancer has a specific genetic mutation.My brain metastases are stable, and I haven't needed steroids for 14 days.I have had only one chemotherapy treatment but may have had multiple immunotherapy or targeted therapy treatments.I have an immune system disorder or have been on high-dose steroids or other immune-weakening medicines recently.I have an autoimmune disease treated with medication in the last 2 years.My melanoma cannot be removed by surgery and is in stage III or IV.Your disease can be measured using a specific standard called RECIST 1.1.I am fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but can do light work.I have recovered from side effects of previous treatments to my normal or mild condition.My cancer did not respond or stopped responding to PD-1 inhibitors, and if it has the BRAF mutation, it also did not respond to BRAF inhibitors or I couldn't tolerate the treatment.I have been treated with a PARP inhibitor before.I had radiotherapy less than 2 weeks ago, except for short-term palliative care.I have another cancer that is getting worse or was treated in the last 2 years.
