Official Title: | Phase Ib With Expansion of Patients at the MTD Study of Olaparib Plus Weekly (Metronomic) Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Relapsed Ovarian Cancer Patients |

Estimated Study Completion Date : | December 2019 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Olaparib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel |
Drug: Olaparib
Olaparib will be administered orally on Days 1, 2, and 3 of each week until DLT or disease progression. A minimum of 3 patients will be enrolled into each cohort. The anticipated dose escalation sequence of olaparib is 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg, taken twice a day will be used.
Other Names:
Drug: Carboplatin AUC 2 weekly for 3 weeks of a 4 week cycle. For patients who experience a complete response, the carboplatin and paclitaxel will be discontinued and olaparib monotherapy (400 mg, taken twice a day) will continue until disease progression and as long as the investigator feels they are benefiting from the treatment.
Other Names:
Drug: Paclitaxel 60mg/m2 weekly for 3 weeks of a 4 week cycle. For patients who experience a complete response, the carboplatin and paclitaxel will be discontinued and olaparib monotherapy (400 mg, taken twice a day) will continue until disease progression and as long as the investigator feels they are benefiting from the treatment.
Other Names:

- Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) [ Time Frame: 1 cycle (1 cycle = 28 days) ]
- Number of Reported Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Weekly assessments of clinical and laboratory values, and vital sign measurements performed while receiving study treatment. (Anticipated time of 6 months) ]
- Response to Therapy [ Time Frame: Measured by CT scans performed every 8 weeks while receiving treatment. (Anticipated time of 6 months) ]
- Time to Progression [ Time Frame: Measured by CT scans performed every 8 weeks while receiving treatment. (Anticipated time of 6 months) ]
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Following the last treatment, patient's condition will be monitored every 3 months until death. ]

Exclusion Criteria:
- Any previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib
- Any systemic chemotherapy, radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), within 2 weeks from the last dose prior to study treatment (or longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used)
- Currently receiving the following classes of inhibitors of CYP3A4: azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, and protease inhibitors

- Major surgery within 2 weeks of starting study treatment
- Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Known active hepatic disease (i.e. Hepatitis B or C)
- Uncontrolled seizures
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to carboplatin or paclitaxel
