Brief summary

This study is being carried out to see if the new drug, olaparib (AZD2281), can effectively and safely treat advanced large bowel cancer. The primary goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether olaparib will have a beneficial effect on the patient's cancer by causing a response and increasing the time it takes for the cancer to progress.

Inclusion criteria

* Patients will have measurable disseminated colorectal cancer that is incurable by surgery * Patients will have had tumor progression following standard combination front-line or second-line chemotherapy. * CRC patients who have relapsed or recurrent disease within six months after completing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Exclusion criteria

* Previous treatment with PARP inhibitors, including olaparib. * Patients with symptomatic, uncontrolled brain metastases. * Patients receiving any chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), within 4 weeks from the last dose prior to study entry (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used). * Patients who are unable to swallow orally administered medication.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Tumour ResponseFrom baseline, i.e. up to 28 days before first study drug dose, and then every 2 cycles (8 weeks) up to objective disease progression by RECIST, assessed up to 35 monthsTumour response is the number of patients who experienced complete or partial response at least once during the assessment period, according to the definitions of Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST version 1.1)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free SurvivalFrom baseline, i.e. up to 28 days before first study drug dose, and then every 2 cycles (8 weeks) up to objective disease progression by RECIST, assessed up to 35 monthsProgression free survival is defined as the duration from first dose till objective progression or death. In absence of progression or death, the time is calculated from first dose till last evaluable scanning visit.
Overall SurvivalSurvival follow-up from first dose till death of the patient or till end of study in absence of death, assessed up to 35 monthsOverall survival is defined as the duration from first dose till death from any cause. In absence of death, the time is calculated from first dose till the date subject last known to be alive

Recruitment details

Target accrual: 54 subjects. MSI-H group: 15; non-MSI-H group: 39. Pre-planned interim analysis of the non-MSI-H cohort, after 17 patients, stopped recruitment into that cohort. Recruitment to the MSI-H cohort continued.

Pre-assignment details

Subjects with stage IV, measurable disseminated CRC incurable by surgery, with tumour progression following standard combination front-line or second-line chemotherapy, relapsed or recurrent disease within 6 months completing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and met all inclusion/exlusion criteria.
