- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Tumour assessment was to be assessed at screening, every 8 weeks during the study and at the withdrawal visit, up to 56 weeks. (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]PFS was defined as the time to progression from the date of randomisation until the date of radiological assessment of progression per RECIST criteria or death (by any cause in the absence of progression)
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]ORR was defined according to RECIST. Complete response (CR) or partial response - (PR)- 30% decrease Patients with a best RECIST response of CR or PR had to have a confirmed response at least 28 days later.
- Disease Control Rate [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]The number of patients with confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions ) or SD ( small changes ) >4 months, divided by the number of randomised patients
- Overall Duration of Response [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]The duration of response was defined as time (months) from initial assessment of PR/CR until earliest date of objective progression or death. (Values may be underestimated as some patients had not progressed at final analysis so true duration is likely to be greater than that in database.)
- Best Percentage Change in Tumour Size [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]The percentage change (reduction) from baseline in the sum of the lengths of the longest diameter (LD) of the RECIST target lesions were objectively documented, regardless of whether the patient was still taking study medication
- Best Percentage Change From Baseline in CA-125 Levels [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]Best percentage change in cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels
- Confirmed RECIST Response and/or CA-125 Response [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]The percentage of patients reporting a RECIST confirmed response and/or a CA-125 response (in the absence of progression). A CA-125 response was defined as a confirmed greater or equal to 50% reduction in CA-125.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: At the time of the cut-off for the final analysis of overall survival (30 April 2010) ]OS was defined as time from randomisation to date of death from any cause. Patients who had not died at time of analysis were censored at last date they were known to be alive. Median OS was not calculable for olaparib groups due to an insufficient number of deaths so the percentage of participants who died are shown along with 95% confidence intervals
- Best Quality of Life (QoL) Response for Trial Outcome Index (TOI) [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]Best HRQoL response using the TOI endpoint. Improvement was defined as a change from baseline of greater than or equal to +7. The TOI score ranges from 0-100.
- Best QoL Response for Total Functional Analysis of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian (FACT-O) [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]Best HRQoL response using the total FACT-O endpoint. Improvement was defined as a change from baseline of greater than or equal to +9.
- Best QoL Response for FACT-O Symptom Index (FOSI) [ Time Frame: At the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009) ]Best HRQoL response using the FOSI endpoint. Improvement was defined as a change from baseline of greater than or equal to +3.
