WoO: Window of Opportunity Trial of Olaparib and Durvalumab in Histologically Proven EOC (WoO)

Window-of-opportunity Proof-of-concept, Non-randomized, Open-label Phase II Trial of Olaparib Given Alone (Cohort A) or in Combination With Durvalumab (Cohort B) Prior to Primary Debulking Surgery in Histologically Proven High-grade Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC)

This is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, phase II trial. Patients with suspected advanced ovarian cancer planned to undergo diagnostic laparoscopy for histologic confirmation and evaluation of disease spread will be registered into the trial after providing a 1st written informed consent.

In total, 60 patients are planned to be enrolled in 2 consecutive cohorts (30 patients per cohort) into the trial. After histologic confirmation of high-grade epithelial non-mucinous, non-clear cell ovarian cancer, patients will be treated in two consecutive cohorts (A, B) of 30 patients each, with A) olaparib alone or B) olaparib in combination with durvalumab Treatment allocation will take place in two consecutive cohorts rather than by randomization. This will allow to evaluate the safety and feasibility in a stepwise approach. A trial steering committee (TSC) meeting will take place between the cohorts to review safety and feasibility prior to starting the second cohort. The safety follow-up of the first cohort will take 90 days as of the first dose of therapy. The window-of-opportunity treatment phase will be followed by primary debulking surgery and standard of care platinum based first-line chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator. After completion of first-line chemotherapy patients who have not progressed during first-line chemotherapy will receive the indicated standard maintenance treatment according to the national S3-guideline and treating physician's choice. For patients who have received all possible licensed treatment regimens according to the national guideline or for whom further licensed treatment options are contraindicated, Olaparib may be offered as investigational maintenance therapy for up to 24 months.

Patients will be treated in two consecutive cohorts (A, B) of 30 patients each, with A) olaparib alone or B) olaparib in combination with durvalumab. Treatment allocation will take please in two consecutive cohorts rather than by randomization. This will allow to evaluate the safety and feasibility in a step-wise approach. A trial steering committee (TSC) meeting will take place between the cohorts to review safety and feasibility prior to starting the second cohort. The safety follow-up of the first cohort will take 90 days as of the first dose of therapy.

Olaparib tablets 2 × 300 mg per day for 3 weeks prior to surgery until one day prior to surgery or withdrawal of informed consent and as long as the patient has received all possible licensed treatment regimens according to national guideline or for whom further licensed treatment options are contraindicated, offered as investigational maintenance therapy for 24 months after completion of primary therapy (chemotherapy).

Olaparib tablets 2 × 300mg per day for 4 weeks plus durvalumab 1500mg iv as a single dose prior to surgery (corresponding to 1 single cycle).

Durvalumab is administered 1500mg iv as a single dose prior to surgery (corresponding to 1 single cycle) .

Feasibility of the WoO procedure for olaparib alone (cohort a) & olaparib in combination with durvalumab (cohort b)

Defined as the successful completion of the WoO therapy: Relative dose intensity (RDI) of ≥80% No treatment-related surgical delays Adherence to therapeutic strategy Lack of clinical progression prior to primary debulking surgery No treatment-related toxicities of any grade that in the judgment of the investigator or surgeon significantly interfered with the subject's optimal perioperative management

Between registration into the trial until 60 days after surgery or 60 days after the originally planned surgery date in case of switch of therapeutic strategy.

Evaluated by the proportion of patients who experience any adverse event (CTCAE v5.0), of a grade ≥3.

Between registration into the trial until 60 days after surgery or 60 days after the originally planned surgery date in case of switch of therapeutic strategy.

Circulating DNA ratio at day 21 (CDR21) defined as the ratio of mutation abundance at day 21 relative to baseline of the mutant ctDNA allele with the highest abundance (mutant copies/ml) at baseline.

Defined as the time from registration into the trial (PIC2) until radiologic progression or progression according to GCIG criteria during routine follow-up or or death without progression or clinical deterioration of performance status with associated signs of disease (e.g. bowel obstruction and non-measurable disease).
