Inclusion criteria

* Confirmed documented deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation. (The presence of a loss-of-function germline mutation in the BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 gene must be confirmed prior to consent according to local practice). * Confirmed malignant solid tumours for which no standard treatment exists * At least one lesion (measurable and/or non measurable) at baseline that can be accurately assessed by CT/MRI and is suitable for repeated assessment at follow up visits

Exclusion criteria

* Any previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib * Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication * Patients receiving any systematic chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) within 2 weeks from the last dose prior to study treatment (or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used)
