Summary

This trial is testing adavosertib with or without olaparib to treat patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who've seen their disease progress on PARP inhibitors. They should have a measurable lesion and be in relatively good health (ECOG score 0-1). Women must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, and agree to use contraception. People can't join if they have heart issues like long QT syndrome, uncontrolled brain metastases, severe reactions to study drugs or certain drug interactions.
What is being tested?
The trial tests adavosertib alone or combined with olaparib in patients whose cancer has returned. These drugs may block enzymes that tumor cells need to grow. Participants are chosen for different treatment groups based on specific criteria and will receive the treatments to see which works better.
What are the potential side effects?
Adavosertib and olaparib might cause side effects such as nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. There could also be liver issues or allergic reactions among other potential side effects.
