Pharmacodynamic Study to Assess the Anti-proliferative Activity of the PARP Inhibitor Olaparib in Patients With HPV Positive and HPV Negative HNSCC

January 9, 2020 updated by: Yale University

A Pilot Pharmacodynamic Study to Assess the Anti-proliferative Activity a of the Poly ADP Ribose Polymerase (PARP) Inhibitor Olaparib in Patients With Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Positive and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) Negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

This is an open label pilot study evaluating the pharmacodynamics and safety of single agent olaparib administered at 300mg bid (twice a day) for 14 days orally in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV) -positive and human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Level of IHC-Ki-67 expression
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days
Tissue biopsy sections will be analyzed for proliferation (IHC-Ki-67) Ki-67 is a nuclear non-histone protein that is present at low levels in quiescent cells but is increased in proliferating cells. Thus, Ki-67 reactivity, defined as percent tumor cells staining positive as measured by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, is a specific nuclear marker for cell proliferation.
Baseline and 14 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Tissue apoptosis
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days
Tissue biopsy sections will be analyzed for apoptosis. For example using the IHC-cleaved caspase-3 assay.
Baseline and 14 days
Change in DNA repair pathways
Time Frame: Baseline and 14 days
Tissue biopsy sections will be analyzed to determine effect on DNA repair pathways (PARP activity). Specifically Poly(ADP-ribose) immunohistochemical staining of tissue biopsies will be performed and PAR intensity scored as 0 (no signal), 1 (weak), 2 (strong intensity in >50% of tumor cells).
Baseline and 14 days
