Olaparib and ASTX727 in BRCA1/2- and Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD)-Mutated Tumors

What this study is about

This is a single center, phase I/Ib clinical trial evaluating the combination of the poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib with the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor ASTX727, which is an taken by mouth formulation of decitabine with cedazuridine (a cytidine deaminase inhibitor that allows for taken by mouth administration).

View original scientific description

This is a single center, phase I/Ib clinical trial evaluating the combination of the poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib with the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor ASTX727, which is an oral formulation of decitabine with cedazuridine (a cytidine deaminase inhibitor that allows for oral administration). The study population consists of adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumor malignancies with germline or somatic mutations in the HRR pathway (i.e., BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1), BReast CAncer gene 2(BRCA2), Partner And Localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2), ATM, and/or Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) mutations).

Primary outcome measures

Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) (Phase 1 Only)

Time frame: Up to 2 years

Adverse events will be classified and graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0 and reported by dose level.

Percentages of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) (Phase 1 Only)

Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is 28 days)

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as any of the following events that are considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to olaparib or ASTX727 and are observed during cycle 1. The percentage of participants with DLTs will be reported.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (Phase 1 Only)

Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is 28 days)

The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which no more than one instance of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed among the first 6 participants treated.

Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) (Phase 1 Only)

Time frame: Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is 28 days)

The RP2D for a planned Phase 2 trial will be selected based on the evaluation of dose-limiting toxicities and adverse events measured using CTCAE v5.0.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
  • For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
  • Individuals with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. Individuals with HCV infection who are currently on treatment could be eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable.
  • Individuals with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks. Participants need to be without requirement for steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. A participant with one or two lesions that have been definitely treated with resection or focal radiation and has no symptoms is eligible after 2 weeks.
  • Based on findings from human data and/or animal studies, and their mechanisms of action, ASTX727 and olaparib can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. For this reason, females of child-bearing potential (defined below) must agree to use adequate contraception including hormonal or barrier methods or strict abstinence for the duration of study treatment and for 6 months after last administration of study treatment. Males (with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant) treated or enrolled on this protocol also must agree to use adequate contraception for the duration of study treatment, and for 3 months after last administration of study treatment. Should an individual participating in this study (or the partner of an individual participating in the study) become pregnant or suspect pregnancy, they should inform the treating physician immediately. A female is considered to be of childbearing potential (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice), unless it is documented that the individual meets either of the following two criteria: (1) has reached a postmenopausal state (\>= 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause); or (2) has undergone surgical sterilization (i.e., hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy for removal of uterus and/or ovaries).
  • Individuals with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. Note: Diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are excluded per

Exclusion criteria

Study participants who are lactating must agree to discontinue breast-feeding/chest-feeding for the duration of study treatment and for 1 month after the final dose of trial therapy.
  • Individuals who are pregnant (because of the potential for olaparib and ASTX727 to cause serious adverse reactions to the unborn child).

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
