To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
AZD2281 or Olaparib is a potent inhibitor of polyadenosine 5’-diphosphoribose
polymerase (PARP) that is being developed as an oral treatment for patients with BRCA (Breast Cancer Gene Type) related cancer. The molecular targeting of olaparib to specific subsets of tumours may
provide an opportunity for less toxic cancer monotherapy and adjuvant therapy, compared with currently available regimen. In this study, AZD2281 will be given orally 400mg twice daily. Participants will be receiving AZD2281 till their tumour assessment (via imaging scans) show disease progression according to the protocol. They can chose to stop participating in the study and hence stop receiving the drug. Their doctors or the sponsor may also stop them from receiving the study drug if it was discovered that patient is at risk, non-compliant, or for other reasons.
Intervention code [1] 4173 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Matching placebo capsule (sugar capsule with no active drug) which looks like the study drug. Participants will be given orally and twice daily. Participants will be receiving this till their tumour assessment (via imaging scans) show disease progression according to the protocol. They can chose to stop participating in the study and hence stop receiving the drug. Their doctors or the sponsor may also stop them from receiving the study drug if it was discovered that patient is at risk, non-compliant, or for other reasons.

Placebo

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5562 0
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy (assessed by progression free survival [PFS]) of AZD2281 compared to placebo in this patient population. Progression free survival is defined as the time from randomisation (when the patient starts taking the study drug on Day 1 of study) to the earlier date of objective assessment of progression (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours [RECIST] criteria determined via evaluations of tumours using imaging scans) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).
Timepoint [1] 5562 0
CA-125 measurements will be performed every 28 days till the patient stops taking the study drug. Radiological tumour assessments will be performed every 12 weeks for 1st 60 weeks patient is in the study and then every 24 weeks there-after till the patient has disease progression.
Secondary outcome [1] 9371 0
One of the secondary objectives of this study is to determine the efficacy of AZD2281 compared to placebo by assessment of best overall response.
Timepoint [1] 9371 0
Best overall response will be determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours [RECIST] criteria determined via evaluations of tumours using imaging scans. Radiological tumour assessments will be performed every 12 weeks for 1st 60 weeks patient is in the study and then every 24 weeks there-after till the patient has disease progression.
Secondary outcome [2] 241564 0
One of the secondary objectives of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of AZD2281 compared to placebo. Safety and tolerability will be determined via evaluation of adverse events, physical examination, vital signs, laboratory findings and so on during study visits.
Timepoint [2] 241564 0
Patients will be evaluated for safety and tolerability at weekly study visits for the first 2 months and at monthly study visits there-after. The patients will come for monthly visits till they discontinue from the study. Patients will also have a follow-up visit 30 days after they discontinue from study.
