Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A: Tremelimumab Alone
25 patients will receive tremelimumab alone at 10 mg/kg IV every 4 weeks for 7 doses then every 12 weeks until disease progression.
|
Drug: Tremelimumab |
Experimental: Arm B1: DESE Tremelimumab and Olaparib
18 patients will receive tremelimumab (3 or 10 mg/kg IV) every 4 weeks for 7 doses then every 12 weeks and olaparib (150 or 300 mg orally twice a day) until disease progression.
|
Drug: Tremelimumab Drug: Olaparib Other Name: LYNPARZA |
Experimental: Arm B2: Tremelimumab and Olaparib
25 patients will receive tremelimumab (every 4 weeks for 7 doses then every 12 weeks) and olaparib (daily) until disease progression. Dose of tremelimumab and olaparib will be determined during the DESE (Arm B1).

- Adverse events as a measure of the safety and tolerability profile of tremelimumab in combination with olaparib [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Number of participants experiencing study drug-related dose limiting toxicities (DLTs). Dose escalation (phase I) portion of the trial only.
- Fold change from baseline in the ratio of peripheral CD4+ICOShi T cells and Regulatory T cells [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Dose escalation (phase I) portion of the trial only.
- Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of tremelimumab combined with olaparib [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Dose escalation (phase I) portion of the trial only.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 months by RECIST [ Time Frame: 6 months ]PFS rate is defined as the percentage of patients with disease progression (PD or relapse from CR as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause at 6 months. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 months by irRECIST [ Time Frame: 6 months ]PFS rate is defined as the percentage of patients with disease progression (irPD or relapse from irCR as assessed using irRECIST criteria) or death due to any cause at 6 months. Per irRECIST criteria, irCR = disappearance of all lesions, irPR is =>30% decrease in tumor burden, irPD is >20% increase in tumor burden compared with nadir, irSD is <30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline cannot be established nor <20% increase compared with nadir. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) by RECIST [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions and PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) by irRECIST [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Objective Response Rate (irORR) is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (irCR) or partial response (irPR) based on irRECIST criteria. Per irRECIST criteria, irCR = disappearance of all lesions and irPR is =>30% decrease in tumor burden.
- Duration of Response by RECIST [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Number of months from the start date of PR or CR (whichever response is recorded first) and subsequently confirmed to the first date that recurrent or progressive disease or death is documented. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, and PD is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Duration of Response by irRECIST [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Number of months from the start date of irPR or irCR (whichever response is recorded first) and subsequently confirmed to the first date that recurrent or progressive disease or death is documented. Per irRECIST criteria, irCR = disappearance of all lesions, irPR is =>30% decrease in tumor burden, and irPD is is >20% increase in tumor burden compared with nadir.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]DCR is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria at any time during the study. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, PD is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, SD is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]PFS is defined as the number of patients with disease progression (progressive disease [PD] or relapse from complete response [CR] as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]OS will be measured from date of first dose until death or end of followup (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
