Olaparib and ASTX727 for the Treatment of Patients with BRCA 1/2 and HRD Mutated Advanced Tumors

Trial Status: temporarily closed to accrual

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of olaparib in combination with decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727) in treating patients with tumors that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) that have changes or errors (mutations) in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair pathways, such as BRCA 1/2 and homologous recombination deficient (HRD). DNA is the genetic material of cells. If DNA becomes damaged, the cell will use its DNA-repair pathways to fix the damaged DNA, so the cell can survive. Olaparib is a polyadenosine 5'-diphosphoribose polymerase (PARP) enzyme inhibitor and may help kill tumor cells by targeting the DNA repair pathways and preventing the tumor cells from repairing their DNA. ASTX727 is a combination decitabine and cedazuridine. Decitabine is in a class of medications called hypomethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells in the bone marrow. Decitabine stops cells from making DNA, which may help keep tumor cells from growing and may kill them. Cedazuridine is a type of cytidine deaminase inhibitor and prevents the breakdown of decitabine in the body, which may allow more tumor cells to be killed. Olaparib in combination with ASTX727 may kill more tumor cells in patients with BRCA 1/2 and HRD mutated advanced tumors.
