Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a new drug, Olaparib, given with radiation therapy to people with small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with small cell lung cancer who've finished at least 4 cycles of specific chemotherapy without disease progression. They must be postmenopausal or not able to bear children, have a good performance status, and recovered from previous treatments. No recent investigational drugs, systemic chemo, or radiotherapy are allowed.
What is being tested?
The study tests different doses of Olaparib pills (ranging from 50 mg to 300 mg) combined with low dose radiotherapy on patients with small cell lung cancer. The goal is to determine the safety and effectiveness of this combination treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Olaparib may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anemia (low red blood cells), neutropenia (low white blood cells), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), indigestion, diarrhea, headache, taste changes and increased risk of infections.
