Brief Summary:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative olaparib monotherapy and preoperative olaparib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy in patients with untreated stage III, IV high-grade serous or Grade 3 endometrioid ovarian cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) positivity.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ovarian Cancer Drug: Olaparib Drug: Pembrolizumab Phase 2

Detailed Description:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative olaparib monotherapy and preoperative olaparib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy in patients with untreated stage III, IV high-grade serous or Grade 3 endometrioid ovarian cancer with HRD positivity. The first cohort (Olaparib monotherapy : 10 cases) will be evaluated for the presence or absence of immune cell activation, and the tumor reduction effect will be evaluated in the second cohort (Olaparib plus pembrolizumab combination therapy : 20 cases).

Official Title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Preoperative Olaparib Monotherapy and Preoperative Olaparib Plus Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy in Patients With HRD-Positive Stage III or IV Advanced Epithelial Ovarian/Fallopian Tube/Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Actual Study Start Date : December 1, 2020
Estimated Primary Completion Date : June 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : June 2024


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Olaparib or Olaparib Plus Pembrolizumab

Drug: Olaparib
Olaparib will be administered at a dose of 300mg as oral dose, twice a day.

Drug: Pembrolizumab
Pembrolizumab will be administered at a dose of 200mg as a 30-minutes IV infusion, Q3W (25 minutes to 40 minutes are acceptable).




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    Objective response rate (ORR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version. 1.1.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after the last dose ]
    The incidences and types of adverse events that occur during treatment will be evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

  2. Chemotherapy response score (CRS) [ Time Frame: 6 months from the end of registration ]
    To evaluate the effect of histopathological treatment on patients with serous carcinoma and metastasis to the omentum. The histopathological treatment effect is determined according to the chemotherapy response score (CRS)

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 6 months from the end of registration ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the first dose to the earlier of progression assessed by the Investigator per RECIST v. 1.1 (PD) or clinical criteria, or death due to any cause.

  4. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 6 months from the end of registration ]
    OS is defined as the time from the first dose to death due to any cause.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Biomarkers [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Relationship between the germline mutation and therapeutic effect

  2. The change in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Relationship between the change in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in tumor tissue before and after therapy, and the therapeutic effect

  3. The therapeutic effect [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Relationship between the Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) and the therapeutic effect
