Read the transcript

This trial is for adults with resected pancreatic cancer and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutation, after at least 12 weeks of perioperative chemotherapy. No recurrent or metastatic disease is allowed.

The idea: olaparib blocks PARP-mediated DNA repair. Patients receive oral olaparib or placebo twice daily for twelve 28-day cycles. Researchers test whether it delays recurrence.

This phase 2 study plans 152 patients. Kim Reiss Binder leads the NCI-sponsored APOLLO study, with 259 recruiting US sites. Prior progression on platinum excludes participation.
