Experimental: Olaparib
Olaparib tablet 300mg bd po

Drug: Olaparib
Patients will be administered olaparib orally twice daily (bid) at 300 mg. Two (2) x 150 mg olaparib tablets should be taken at the same times each morning and evening of each day, approximately 12 hours apart with approximately 240 mL of water. |
Active Comparator: Physician's choice chemotherapy

Investigators will declare one of the following regimens:
|
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) Using Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) According to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) [ Time Frame: Radiological scans performed at baseline then every ~6 weeks up to 24 weeks, then every ~ 12 weeks thereafter until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of objective radiological progression or death by any cause in the absence of objective progression. Objective radiological progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
- Time to Second Progression or Death (PFS2) [ Time Frame: Second progression status reviewed every 8 weeks following the first objective radiological progression as per investigator assessment. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of the progression event subsequent to the first objective radiological progression, or death. Second progression may involve any of; objective radiological or symptomatic progression or death. Objective radiological progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Symptomatic progression is assessed by investigators based on clinical examination.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Survival status reviewed every 3 weeks until treatment discontinued, then every 8 weeks. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation until death due to any cause.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) Using Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Data Assessed by Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) [ Time Frame: Radiological scans performed at baseline then every ~6 weeks up to 24 weeks, then every ~ 12 weeks thereafter until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Number of responders according to blinded independent central review (BICR) assessment. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR) is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) is defined as >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response = CR + PR.
- Adjusted Mean Change in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (QoL) Score From the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: EORTC QLQ-C30 assessments performed at baseline then every ~6 weeks until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Change from baseline in global health status/quality of life (QoL) score assessed using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) analysis, including all post-baseline global health status/QoL scores up to the latest scheduled visit where at least 20 patients on each treatment arm have a score. Global health status/QoL score is on a scale from 0 to 100. A higher score represents an improved health status/QoL.
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) Using Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) According to Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) in Patients Confirmed as Myriad CDx gBRCAm [ Time Frame: Radiological scans performed at baseline then every ~6 weeks up to 24 weeks, then every ~ 12 weeks thereafter until objective radiological disease progression. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of objective radiological progression or death by any cause in the absence of objective progression. Objective radiological progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Assessed in patients with a deleterious or suspected deleterious variant in either of the BRCA genes using variants identified with current and future BRCA mutation assays (gene sequencing and large rearrangement analysis).
- Overall Survival (OS) at Final OS [ Time Frame: Survival status reviewed every 3 weeks until treatment discontinued, then every 8 weeks. Assessed up to a maximum of 40 months. ]Time from randomisation until death due to any cause.
- Overall Survival (OS) at Extended OS [ Time Frame: Survival status reviewed every 3 weeks until treatment discontinued, then every 8 weeks until Sep 2017 (final OS DCO), then every 3 months. Assessed up to a maximum of 64 months. ]Time from randomisation until death due to any cause.
- Time to First Subsequent Cancer Therapy or Death (TFST) [ Time Frame: Subsequent cancer therapy status reviewed every 8 weeks following study treatment discontinuation. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of first subsequent cancer therapy start date following study treatment discontinuation, or death.
- Time to Second Subsequent Cancer Therapy or Death (TSST) [ Time Frame: Subsequent cancer therapy status reviewed every 8 weeks following study treatment discontinuation. Assessed up to a maximum of 30 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of second subsequent cancer therapy start date following study treatment discontinuation, or death.
- Time to First Subsequent Cancer Therapy or Death (TFST) at Extended OS [ Time Frame: Subsequent cancer therapy status reviewed every 8 weeks following study treatment discontinuation until Sep 2017 (final OS DCO), then every 3 months. Assessed up to a maximum of 64 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of first subsequent cancer therapy start date following study treatment discontinuation, or death.
- Time to Second Subsequent Cancer Therapy or Death (TSST) at Extended OS [ Time Frame: Subsequent cancer therapy status reviewed every 8 weeks following study treatment discontinuation until Sep 2017 (final OS DCO), then every 3 months. Assessed up to a maximum of 64 months. ]Time from randomisation to the earliest of second subsequent cancer therapy start date following study treatment discontinuation, or death.
