Scientific titleRandomised phase II Trial of olaparib, chemotherapy or olaparib and cediranib in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
Study acronymOCTOVA
Study hypothesisStudy aim:
The aim of this study is to comparing efficacy and tolerability of single agent olaparib with:
1. Weekly paclitaxel
2. The combination of olaparib and cediranib

Hypothesis:
Olaparib will provide similar outcomes but less toxicity than paclitaxel and that olaparib/cediranib combination might provide better outcomes.
Ethics approval(s)London – Chelsea Research Ethics Committee, 25/01/2017, ref: 16/LO/2150
ConditionOvarian cancer
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 21/11/2019:
This study is a three-arm randomised trial. Participants are randomly allocated to one of the following groups:
Arm A: Participants receive weekly paclitaxel (repeating cycles days 1, 8 and 15 of 28)
Arm B: Participants receive twice-daily olaparib tablets
Arm C: Participants receive twice-daily olaparib and daily cediranib tablets

In all cases, treatment continues until disease progression (RECIST). In Arm A only, after progression patients can then switch to treatment with olaparib – this, like Arm B treatment, can continue until further progression.

Recruitment target is 138 patients, 46 per arm. Stratification factors are previous PARP, previous antiangiogenic therapy, and BRCA mutation.
