Study on Olaparib with Durvalumab, Selumetinib, Capivasertib, or Ceralasertib for Treating Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Sponsor: OHSU Knight Cancer Institute
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT03801369
This clinical trial is testing different combinations of the drug olaparib with other medications to see if they can effectively treat metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The study aims to find out if these combinations can stop cancer growth and improve patient outcomes.

Program Overview
This study is exploring the effectiveness of combining the drug olaparib with other treatments like durvalumab, selumetinib, capivasertib, or using ceralasertib alone, to treat patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Olaparib works by blocking certain enzymes needed for cancer cell growth. Durvalumab helps the immune system fight cancer, while selumetinib, capivasertib, and ceralasertib block other enzymes that cancer cells need to grow. The study aims to see if these combinations can better control the cancer.
Description
The main goal of this study is to see how well the treatment works in shrinking or controlling the cancer. Researchers will also look at how long it takes for the cancer to progress, how long patients live, and how safe and tolerable the treatments are.
The study will also explore changes in patients' quality of life and how different tumor characteristics affect treatment response. Researchers will look for markers that predict how well patients respond to the treatment and understand how cancer cells might resist the therapy.
The study is open-label, meaning both doctors and patients know which treatment is being given. Patients with confirmed TNBC will first receive olaparib for two weeks, followed by a biopsy. Then, based on their tumor characteristics, they will be assigned to one of four treatment groups:
- Group 1: Olaparib with durvalumab
- Group 2: Olaparib with selumetinib
- Group 3: Olaparib with capivasertib
- Group 4: Ceralasertib alone
Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days, and patients can continue treatment for up to 12 cycles if it is beneficial and safe. After completing the study, patients will be followed up every six months for up to a year to monitor their health and cancer status. An optional biopsy may be requested if the cancer progresses.
