Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Any previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor, including olaparib and/or known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of study treatment."}

EXCEPTIONS are: a) adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer of the cervix, Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, stage 1 grade 1 endometrial carcinoma b) other solid tumours and lymphomas (without bone marrow involvement) diagnosed ≥ 5years prior to randomisation and treated with no evidence of disease recurrence and for whom no more than one line of chemotherapy was applied."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The required washout period prior to starting study treatment is 2 weeks. Concomitant use of known strong (e.g., phenobarbital, enzalutamide, phenytoin, rifampicin, rifabutin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine and St John’s Wort) or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil). The required washout period prior to starting study treatment is 5 weeks for enzalutamide orphenobarbital and 3 weeks for other agents."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Whole blood transfusions in the last 120 days prior to entry to the study which may interfere with gBRCA testing"}
