Testing Olaparib in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic (Cancer That Has Spread) Bladder Cancer and Other Genitourinary Tumors with DNA-Repair Genetic Changes

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with bladder cancer and other genitourinary tumors with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair defects that has spread to other places in the body (advanced or metastatic) and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing.
