Study to Assess the Effect of Rifampicin (CYP Inducer) on Blood Levels and Safety of Olaparib in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

A Non-randomised, Open-label, Sequential, Multicentre, Two-part, Phase I Study to Assess the Effect of Rifampicin, a CYP Inducer, on the Pharmacokinetics of Olaparib Following Oral Dosing of a Tablet Formulation in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

This is a 2-part study in patients with advanced solid tumours. Part A will investigate the effect of rifampicin on the PK parameters of olaparib in patients; Part B will allow patients continued access to olaparib after the PK phase and will provide additional safety data.
