Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial of Olaparib + Pembrolizumab vs. Olaparib Alone as Maintenance Therapy in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients with Germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 Mutations
Pancreas

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment (olaparib) alone to using pembrolizumab plus the usual treatment. The addition of pembrolizumab to the usual treatment could help to shrink your cancer but, it could also cause side effects. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the study drug pembrolizumab increases the time it takes for the cancer to grow by 5 months or more compared to the usual approach.

Olaparib alone has been approved as maintenance therapy for patients with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutated pancreatic cancer.
