Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: All Participants
All Participants will receive Paclitaxel, Olaparib and Pembrolizumab.
Drug: Paclitaxel
  1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 and 8 starting with cycle 2.
  2. Paclitaxel (80 mg) will be administered IV on days 1 and 8 starting with cycle 2 (every 21 days).
  3. Drug - Paclitaxel - 80mg IV
Other Name: Taxol

Drug: Olaparib
  1. Olaparib will be taken by mouth daily for 3 weeks (every 21 days).
  2. Drug - 100 mg or 300mg
Other Name: Lynparza

Drug: Pembrolizumab
  1. Patients will receive treatment every 21 days.
  2. Pembrolizumab (200 mg) will be administered IV on day 1 (every 21 days).
  3. Drug - 200mg IV
Other Name: MK-3475; Keytruda




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    OS will be measured from the time of drug administration at Cycle 1, Day 1 until death due to any cause. All subjects who receive at least one dose of the 3-drug combination will be included. Subjects who discontinue treatment prior to Cycle 2 will not be included in the analysis. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis will be censored based on the last recorded date on which that patient was known to be alive. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The number of patients experiencing study drug-related toxicities. [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    Number of patients experiencing study drug-related adverse adverse events Grade 3 or higher as defined by CTCAE v5.0.
