Olaparib + Cediranib/Ceralasertib for Advanced Breast Cancer
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II trial studies how well olaparib with cediranib or AZD6738 works in treating patients with germline BRCA mutated breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic). Olaparib, cediranib, and AZD6738 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial requires you to stop taking any strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, with a washout period of 2 weeks for inhibitors and 4 weeks for inducers. You must also stop using natural herbal products or complementary alternative medications 7 days before starting the study drugs. Dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers are allowed for managing hypertension. If you are on other medications, it's best to discuss with the trial team to see if they are permitted.
What data supports the idea that Olaparib + Cediranib/Ceralasertib for Advanced Breast Cancer is an effective drug?
The available research shows that Olaparib alone has been effective in treating certain types of advanced breast cancer, particularly in patients with specific genetic mutations (BRCA mutations). In the OlympiAD trial, Olaparib was shown to significantly extend the time patients lived without their cancer getting worse compared to standard chemotherapy. While there is no direct data on the combination of Olaparib with Cediranib or Ceralasertib for breast cancer, Olaparib has shown promise on its own. Additionally, the combination of Cediranib and Olaparib has been effective in treating ovarian cancer, suggesting potential benefits for breast cancer as well.12345
What safety data is available for the combination of Olaparib and Cediranib/Ceralasertib in cancer treatment?
The combination of Olaparib and Cediranib has been studied in various trials, primarily in ovarian cancer. In a Phase II trial, the combination increased progression-free survival in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer compared to Olaparib alone. The CONCERTO trial evaluated the safety and tolerability of Cediranib plus Olaparib in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. A Phase I trial investigated the toxicities and recommended dosing of Olaparib and Cediranib in recurrent ovarian and triple-negative breast cancer. These studies provide insights into the safety profile of the combination, although specific safety data for breast cancer is limited.12567
Is the drug Olaparib a promising treatment for advanced breast cancer?
Yes, Olaparib is a promising drug for advanced breast cancer. It has been shown to help patients live longer without the cancer getting worse compared to standard chemotherapy. It is especially beneficial for patients with specific genetic mutations (BRCA1/2) and those with triple-negative breast cancer. Olaparib also improves the quality of life for patients.12346
