Brief summary
This is a Phase 1b, multi-site, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of escalating doses of olaparib and trabectedin in patients with unresectable advanced/metastatic sarcomas. Patients will continue to be treated on this combination regimen in the absence of disease progression, intolerable toxicity or patient's decision.
Interventions
trabectedin will be administered in a 24-h continuous i.v. infusion every 3 weeks
olaparib will be administered in a continuous daily dose every 12 hours

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| maximum tolerated dose | from start up to 6 weeks | safety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Benefit Rate | baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years | Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR): will be defined as the rate of CR (complete response) + PR (partial response) + stable disease lasting at least 12 weeks. CR, PR and stable disease will be defined according to RECIST v 1.1. |
| Growth Modulation Index | baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years | Growth modulation index (GMI) will be calculated as: GMI=TTPn/TTPn-1. TTPn: Time To Progression on the new agent. TTP n-1: Time To Progression on the treatment the patient received just before the new agent was started. |
| Overall Survival | baseline and up to 2 years | time from the date of enrollment to date of death or to the date being censored at two years (whichever occurs first). |
| Duration of Tumor Response | baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years | Duration of Objective Response (complete or partial responses) will be measured from the date that a complete or partial response is first documented (whichever occurs first) to date of progression or death due to progressive disease, whichever occurs first. |
| Best Overall Response | baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years | best overall response will be defined according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor version 1.1 (RECIST v 1.1) |
| Pharmacokinetic of trabectedin (AUC) | baseline, days 1-2-3-4-5-8-15 of the first two cycles | The concentration-time data will be used for a preliminary assessment of the effect of combination therapy on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of trabectedin and olaparib. The data will be analyzed by noncompartmental methods. Pharmacokinetic parameters for trabectedin: steady state profile, end of infusion concentration, area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), and, if data permit, terminal phase half-life. For these parameters, the following descriptive statistics will be calculated: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, and geometric mean. Any drug-drug interaction will be thoroughly searched. For both trabectedin and olaparib all pharmacokinetic evaluations will be done only for the first 2 cycles. |
| Pharmacokinetic of olaparib (steady state profile and so maximum concentration, minimal concentration, and AUC will be calculated) | baseline, day -5 cycle 1, day 1 cycle 2, of the first two cycles | The concentration-time data will be used for a preliminary assessment of the effect of combination therapy on the single-dose pharmacokinetics of trabectedin and olaparib. The data will be analyzed by noncompartmental methods. The following pharmacokinetic parameter values will be obtained for olaparib: steady state profile and so maximum concentration, minimal concentration, and AUC will be calculated. For these parameters, the following descriptive statistics will be calculated: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, and geometric mean. Any drug-drug interaction will be thoroughly searched. For both trabectedin and olaparib all pharmacokinetic evaluations will be done only for the first 2 cycles. |
| safety evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03 | baseline up to 28 days after last dose of study treatment up to 2 years | safety will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v 4.03 |
| Biomarkers (composite outcome) | baseline, day 1-2-8-15 of each cycle up to 2 years | Several gene assessments (expression, amplification/ deletion, single nucleotide polymorphisms) on DNA-damage response-related markers (including but not limited to BRCA 1-2, ERCC 1-2-5, XRCC 1-2-3, RAD51 and 53BP1, PARP 1-2, P-histone H2AX and others) will be conducted. Statistical analysis will be performed to investigate the association between trial outcomes and polymorphisms of these genes. |
| Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | baseline and every 2 cycles (6 weeks +/- 1 week) up to 2 years | PFS is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documentation of disease progression, or to the death from any cause. |
