What is the study measuring?

Outcome Measure	Time Frame
Efficacy: Progression free survival (PFS1) according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1) of Olaparib maintenance after a platinum based chemotherapy in patients with advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer	An average of 36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame

To determine time from randomization to first and second subsequent therapy (TFST, TSST)		To be assessed around 36 months
To determine time from randomization until 2nd disease progression or death (PFS2)		To be assessed around 73 months
To assess the safety of Olaparib maintenance compared to placebo - Graded according to CTCAE version 4.03.	Graded according to CTCAE version 4.03. These will be collected by all patients.	To be assessed around 36 months
To assess the tolerability of Olaparib maintenance compared to placebo - Graded according to CTCAE version 4.03.	Graded according to CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 4.03. These will be collected by all patients.	To be assessed around 36 months
To assess the effects of Olaparib on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measure by determining time to deterioration in Quality of life, based on EORTC QLQ-C30 (Quality Of Life Questionnaire-core 30)	Health related quality of life of the patient. For all scales a high score is equivalent to worse or more problems. Range is the difference between the maximum and minimum possible value of the raw score. All items are scored from1 to 4, giving a range=3. For each scale, calculate the raw score by the addition of item responses divided by the number of items. Then a linear transformation is used to standardise the raw score, so that scores range from 0 to 100. Score= (raw score-1)/rangex100	to be assessed 36 months
To assess the effects of Olaparib on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measure by determining time to deterioration in Quality of life, based EORTC QLQ-EN24 (Quality of Life Questionnaire - Endometrial Cancer Module)	To assess disease and treatment specific aspects of the quality of life of patients with endometrial cancer. A high score for the functional scales represents a high level of functioning, while a high score for the symptom scales represents a high level of symptoms or problems. Symptoms related to sexual/vaginal problems (EMSXV including item 51-53) are optional.	to be assessed 36 months
To assess the effects of Olaparib on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measure by determining time to deterioration in Quality of life, based on EORTC FA12 (Quality of life Module Measuring Cancer Related Fatigue)	To assess physical, cognitive and emotional aspects of cancer-related fatigue.The higher the score, the better the QOL	to be assessed 36 months
To assess the effects of Olaparib on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as measure by determining time to deterioration in Quality of life, based on Quality of Life Questionnaire EQ5D (consists of a descriptive system and the EQ VAS)	EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale. The maximum score of 1 indicates the best health state, by contrast with the scores of individual questions, where higher scores indicate more severe or frequent problems.	to be assessed 36 months
To determine efficacy by progression free survival	PFS1 is defined as the time from randomization until the date of the first objective radiological disease progression according to investigator assessment	To be assessed around 73 months
To determine response rate according to response to the initial chemotherapy		To be assessed around 73 months
