Study Design

In eligible patients with gBRCAm, HER2‐negative mBC, LYNPARZA was studied in a phase 3 trial that included both TNBC and HR+ breast cancer patients1,2

The OlympiAD trial:

  • A phase 3, open-label, randomized, controlled, multicenter study in which patients (N=302) were randomized 2:1 to receive either LYNPARZA tablets 300 mg BID (n=205) or HCP’s chemotherapy of choice* (n=97).1,2
  • Approximately 29% of patients received LYNPARZA as their first treatment for mBC2
  • Approximately 71% of patients received LYNPARZA as their second or later treatment for mBC2
  • Previous use of chemotherapy for metastatic disease, HR status, and previous use of platinum-based chemotherapy were the primary protocol-specified stratification factors2

*HCP’s chemotherapy of choice (capecitabine, eribulin, or vinorelbine).1,2

LYNPARZA more than doubled ORR (52% vs 23%) vs HCP’s choice chemotherapy1*

ORR IN PATIENTS WITH MEASURABLE DISEASE (95% CI)1

OlympiAD ORR chart OlympiAD ORR chart
  • ORR is defined as the number of patients who had a CR or PR determined using RECIST 1.1 criteria divided by the number of patients with measurable disease
  • The confirmed complete response rate was 7.8% for LYNPARZA compared with 1.5% for the chemotherapy arm1*
  • The OlympiAD trial was not powered to assess statistical difference in ORR between treatment groups2

ORR was a prespecified secondary endpoint. Response based on confirmed responses.1,2

Final OS analysis from OlympiAD4

  • Median OS was 19.3 months in patients treated with LYNPARZA and 17.1 months in patients treated with chemotherapy* (hazard ratio=0.90; 95% CI: 0.66–1.23)
  • OlympiAD was not powered to show statistical significance in OS for LYNPARZA monotherapy vs chemotherapy. OS did not achieve statistical significance*
  • Results in predefined subgroups were consistent with the OS analysis
  • At the final OS data cutoff (64% maturity), 13% of patients remained on LYNPARZA and no patients remained on chemotherapy*

OS was a prespecified secondary endpoint.

*HCP’s chemotherapy of choice (capecitabine, eribulin, or vinorelbine).1,2

Results in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases5

OlympiAD: Exploratory subgroup analysis in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases*

Median PFS in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases using LYNPARZA vs chemotherapy Median PFS in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases using LYNPARZA vs chemotherapy Overall response rates in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases using LYNPARZA vs chemotherapy Overall response rates in patients with brain/CNS or visceral metastases using LYNPARZA vs chemotherapy

OlympiAD was not powered to detect differences in the treatment effect between these subgroups; therefore, results from these exploratory analyses should be interpreted with caution because of the modest patient numbers and baseline imbalances.5

Although bone metastasis was reported, no formal analysis was conducted on this subgroup.2

*An exploratory analysis of investigator-assessed PFS was consistent with the BICR-assessed PFS results.2
†HCP’s chemotherapy of choice (capecitabine, eribulin, or vinorelbine).1,2

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

INDICATIONS

LYNPARZA is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated:

First-Line Maintenance BRCAm Advanced Ovarian Cancer

For the maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm or sBRCAm) advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for LYNPARZA.

Maintenance Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

gBRCAm, HER2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

In patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCAm, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer who have been treated with chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or metastatic setting. Patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer should have been treated with a prior endocrine therapy or be considered inappropriate for endocrine therapy. Select patients for therapy based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic for LYNPARZA.

First-Line Maintenance gBRCAm Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

For the maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious gBRCAm metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma whose disease has not progressed on at least 16 weeks of a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

There are no contraindications for LYNPARZA.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in <1.5% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA monotherapy, and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. The duration of therapy in patients who developed secondary MDS/AML varied from <6 months to >2 years. All of these patients had previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA-damaging agents, including radiotherapy, and some also had a history of more than one primary malignancy or of bone marrow dysplasia.

Do not start LYNPARZA until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt LYNPARZA and monitor blood count weekly until recovery.

If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. Discontinue LYNPARZA if MDS/AML is confirmed.

Pneumonitis: Occurred in <1% of patients exposed to LYNPARZA, and some cases were fatal. If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt LYNPARZA treatment and initiate prompt investigation. Discontinue LYNPARZA if pneumonitis is confirmed and treat patient appropriately.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals, LYNPARZA can cause fetal harm. A pregnancy test is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment.

Females Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose.

Males Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of LYNPARZA and to not donate sperm during this time.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Anticancer Agents: Clinical studies of LYNPARZA in combination with other myelosuppressive anticancer agents, including DNA-damaging agents, indicate a potentiation and prolongation of myelosuppressive toxicity.

CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be co-administered, reduce the dose of LYNPARZA. Advise patients to avoid grapefruit, grapefruit juice, Seville oranges, and Seville orange juice during LYNPARZA treatment.

CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers when using LYNPARZA. If a moderate inducer cannot be avoided, there is a potential for decreased efficacy of LYNPARZA.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

Lactation: No data are available regarding the presence of olaparib in human milk, its effects on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in the breastfed infant, advise a lactating woman not to breastfeed during treatment with LYNPARZA and for 1 month after receiving the final dose.

Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of LYNPARZA have not been established in pediatric patients.

Hepatic Impairment: No adjustment to the starting dose is required in patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification A and B). There are no data in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classification C).

Renal Impairment: No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild renal impairment (CLcr 51-80 mL/min estimated by Cockcroft-Gault). In patients with moderate renal impairment (CLcr 31-50 mL/min), reduce the dose of LYNPARZA to 200 mg twice daily. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (CLcr ≤30 mL/min).
