Resting ECG with QTc > 470 msec on 2 or more time points within a 24 hour period or a documented family history of long QT syndrome.
Concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inhibitors (eg. itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (eg. ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The required washout period prior to starting olaparib is 2 weeks.
Concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inducers (eg. phenobarbital, enzalutamide, phenytoin, rifampicin, rifabutin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine and St John's Wort) or moderate CYP3A inducers (eg. bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil). The required washout period prior to starting olaparib is 5 weeks for enzalutamide or phenobarbital and 3 weeks for other agents.

Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute leukaemia or with features suggestive thereof.
Major surgery within 2 weeks of study treatment initiation and patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery.
Patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active/uncontrolled infection. Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scan or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent.
Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication.
Breast feeding women.
Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to olaparib or any of the excipients of the product
Patients with known active hepatitis (i.e. Hepatitis B or C) due to risk of transmitting the infection through blood or other body fluids.
Previous allogenic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation (dUCBT).
Whole blood transfusions in the last 120 days prior to entry to the study (packed red blood cells and platelet transfusions are acceptable, for timing refer to inclusion criteria number 8)
Other malignancy within the last 5 years except: early stage cutaneous melanoma, adequately treated non-melanomatous skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cervical cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), FIGO Grade 1 endometrial carcinoma, or other solid tumours including lymphomas (without bone marrow involvement) curatively treated with no evidence of disease for >/= 5 years. Patients with a history of localised triple negative breast cancer may be eligible, provided they completed their adjuvant chemotherapy more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
Absence of brain metastases is not required. Patients must not have symptomatic brain metastatic disease. The patient may be symptomatically controlled on a stable dose of corticosteroids before and during the study as long as these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
Patients with spinal cord compression unless considered to have received definitive treatment for this and evidence of clinically stable disease for 28 days.
