A Phase II, Open Label, Study of Olaparib and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Patients With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This phase II study assesses the efficacy of the combination of olaparib and durvalumab in
the treatment of patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Olabparib may
stop growth of tumors cells by inhibiting some of the enzymes (ADP ribose polymerase (PARP))
needed for cell growth. Durvalumab, a monoclonal antibody, inhibits the growth and spread of
tumors by stimulating the patient's antitumor immune response. Giving olaparib and durvalumab
together may provide an effective method to treat patients with metastatic triple negative
breast cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess overall response to treatment

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess participant benefit from treatment

II. Determine the time to disease progression following response to study therapy

III. Determine time to first disease progression or death of participants enrolled on the
study

IV. Determine survival of participants enrolled on the study

V. Assess safety and tolerability of the proposed therapy

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Examine response rates depending on tumor characteristics

II. Identify predictive biomarkers of sensitivity to therapy

III. Identify emerging mechanism of resistance to therapy

IV. Determine changes in tumor cells induced by PARP inhibitors

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, single-arm phase II study of olaparib and durvalumab.

Participants with biopsy proven TNBC will undergo a pre-treatment biopsy, after which they
will receive a 4 week, single cycle, induction treatment of olaparib (oral, twice a day). At
the 4 week mark, participants will then undergo a repeat on-treatment biopsy, following which
durvalumab will be administered (IV over 1 hr) every 4 weeks, in addition to olaparib.
Treatment courses repeat every 28 days for 12 cycles.

At the completion of all on-study procedures, participants will be considered off-treatment
and will be followed every 6 months for disease and survival outcomes up to 1 year.
Participants will be asked to submit an optional tumor biopsy in the event of disease
progression.
