Summary

Study purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate whether we can increase the effectiveness of treatment in ovarian cancer by adding one or two new anti-cancer drugs: cediranib and olaparib. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are a female aged over 18 years and have a histologically proven diagnosis of high grade serous or endometrioid carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum, which responded to platinum-based chemotherapy. Study details Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance) to one of two treatment groups. One group will receive two medications, called cediranib and olaparib taken once daily and twice daily respectively. The other group will receive olaparib twice daily. Participants will attend a number of hospital visits to give blood and answer questionnaires about their quality of life. It is hoped that this research may help people in the future who have the same kind of cancer as you have.

Interventions

Treatment: Drugs - Olaparib Treatment: Drugs - Cediranib Experimental: Olaparib and Cediranib - Patients will receive oral olaparib 300mg twice daily and oral cediranib 20mg once daily. Patients

Treatment: Drugs - Olaparib Treatment: Drugs - Cediranib Experimental: Olaparib and Cediranib - Patients will receive oral olaparib 300mg twice daily and oral cediranib 20mg once daily. Patients will attend hospital for a 2 weekly review for the first 8 weeks, then 4 weekly for year 1 and 8 weekly for year 2 onwards until discontinuation of all trial drugs. Treatment may continue beyond progression until the next line of treatment if the patient is deemed to still be deriving clinical benefit. Quality of life instruments will be collected at baseline, every clinic visit and continue to be completed after relapse. Active Comparator: Olaparib - Patients will receive oral olaparib 300mg twice daily. Patients will attend hospital for a 2 weekly review for the first 8 weeks, then 4 weekly for year 1 and 8 weekly for year 2 onwards until discontinuation of all trial drugs. Treatment may continue beyond progression until the next line of treatment if the patient is deemed to still be deriving clinical benefit. Quality of life instruments will be collected at baseline, every clinic visit and continue to be completed after relapse. Treatment: Drugs: Olaparib Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor, targeting DNA repair processes. Treatment: Drugs: Cediranib Cediranib is an inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF), targeting angiogenesis. Strategies to monitor adherence to the intervention or active comparator include participant diaries. Usual therapy would consist of observation therefore the experimental and active comparator arms are in addition to usual therapy.
