OLIO – Information about taking part

The OLIO clinical trial aims to find out if adding the medications olaparib, or olaparib + durvalumab together, to standard chemotherapy given to pre-menopausal (18-44 year old) women with HR-positive, HER2-negative, HRD-positive breast cancer before surgery will do a better job of controlling the cancer.

WHO CAN TAKE PART IN OLIO?

You may be eligible for this study if you are a pre-menopausal woman between 18 to 44 years of age, and have been diagnosed with HR-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer.

You will need to provide a sample of the tumour tissue from a new biopsy, or a sample taken when your cancer was diagnosed, and we will use a special test to find out if the cancer is “HRD-positive”.

OLIO Tissue Banking – an optional part of the study

Tissue Banking is a common part of many clinical trials, including OLIO. Tissue banking is donating any tumour tissue or blood samples left over after testing for OLIO to a specific Tissue Bank for use in future research. The samples in OLIO will be stored at a Tissue Bank in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. The Tissue Bank must ensure proper standards are met in storing and managing your samples. Any future new studies that use your samples must have appropriate approvals in place (e.g. from a Human Research Ethics Committee) before your samples can be used.

IF YOU THINK THE OLIO TRIAL MIGHT BE RIGHT FOR YOU …

Please speak to your regular doctor or oncologist about a referral to a participating site.

You can give your doctor/oncologist the link to the trial page or the public registry for further information.
