Testing Olaparib for One or Two Years, With or Without Bevacizumab, to Treat Ovarian Cancer
What this study is about
This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
View original scientific description
This phase III trial compares the effect of olaparib for one year versus two years, with or without bevacizumab, for the treatment of BRCA 1/2 mutated or homologous recombination deficient stage III or IV ovarian cancer. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents.

Primary outcome measures
Progression free survival (PFS) at least 360 days after randomization (PFS360)
Time frame: From completing 360 days of maintenance therapy to disease progression (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version [v]1.1) or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
PFS will be tested using a one-sided, alpha = 0.05 level logrank test. Treatment hazard ratios and their 90% confidence intervals will be estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model specified with a main effect for the randomized treatment assignment and stratified using the stratification factors applied at randomization.
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.
Inclusion criteria
- Patients with newly diagnosed, pathologically confirmed, Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III or IV ovarian cancer of the following types:
- High grade serous
- High grade endometrioid (excluding tumors that are known mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability high (MMR-D/MSI-H) or POLE ultramutated)
- Carcinosarcoma (excluding tumors that are known mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability high (MMR-D/MSI-H) or POLE ultramutated), and/or
- Other epithelial ovarian cancer with BRCA1/2 deleterious alteration (germline or somatic), (excluding tumors that are known mismatch repair deficient/microsatellite instability high (MMR-D/MSI-H) or POLE ultramutated)
- Submission of pathology report is required
- Ovarian cancer = ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer
- Patients must have:
- Documented variant (tumor or germline) in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is predicted to be pathogenic or suspected pathogenic (deleterious alteration)
- Submission of testing report is required. OR
- BRCA 1/2 wildtype AND known HRD deficient tumor determined by any commercial or academic, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified laboratory (e.g., Myriad MyChoice©)
- Submission of testing report is required
- Patient must have undergone cytoreductive surgery (primary or interval)
- Patients must have completed first line platinum-based therapy prior to registration:
- Platinum based chemotherapy course must have consisted of a minimum of 4 treatment cycles and a maximum of 9, although it is strongly recommended that patients receive at least 6 cycles unless medically contraindicated
- For those receiving less than 6 cycles of platinum-based therapy, the reason for this must be documented and could include hematologic toxicity or non-hematologic toxicities directly related to therapy
- Intravenous, intraperitoneal, or neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is allowed; for weekly therapy, three weeks are considered one cycle
- Patients must not have received an investigational agent during their first line course of chemotherapy
- Patients must have, in the opinion of the investigator, no clinical evidence of disease progression following completion of this chemotherapy course (partial or complete response to platinum-based chemotherapy)
- Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS) directed therapy shows no evidence of progression and patients are neurologically stable off steroid therapy
- Patients must be randomized at least 3 weeks and no more than 12 weeks after their last dose of chemotherapy (last dose is the day of the last infusion of platinum agent)
- No previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib, niraparib, and rucaparib
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2
- Not pregnant and not nursing
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm\^3
- Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm\^3
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
- Creatinine clearance (CrCL) of \> 30 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with known Gilbert's disease who have bilirubin level ≤ 3 x institutional ULN may be enrolled)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x institutional ULN
- Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better
- No active infection requiring parental antibiotic(s)
- No current evidence of intra-abdominal abscess, abdominal/pelvic fistula (not diverted), gastrointestinal perforation, gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction, and/or need for drainage nasogastric or gastrostomy tube
- No current inability to swallow orally administered medication
- No history of myelodysplastic syndrome and/or acute myeloid leukemia
- No history of allogeneic bone marrow transplant
- No concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers
- No known hypersensitivity to olaparib or any of the excipients of the product

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.
