  10. Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years after last patient is randomised ]
    Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) I-III will be assessed by central pathology review.

  11. Radiological response - as assessed by radiological response criteria as per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after last patient is randomised ]
    Radiological response after 4th and final cycles

  12. Treatment related toxicities - as assessed by CTCAE v4.03 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years after last patient is randomised ]
    Treatment related toxicities

  13. Quality of Life Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years after last patient is randomised ]
    Quality of Life (sub-study). Questionnaire to be completed by patient prior to start of treatment, following cycle 4 and cycle 7, following surgery and then annually for two years to document long-term effects on quality of life.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Discovery and validation of markers that can be correlated with outcomes (pCR and RFS). [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last patient is randomised ]
    Discovery and validation of prognostic, pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic markers that can be correlated with outcomes (pCR and RFS) in patients randomised to received olaparib compared with those who are not.
