ATr Inhibitor in Combination With Olaparib in Gynaecological Cancers With ARId1A Loss or no Loss (ATARI)

ATARI: ATr Inhibitor in Combination With Olaparib in Gynaecological Cancers With ARId1A Loss

ATARI trial tests the ATR inhibitor drug AZD6738 and a PARP inhibitor drug olaparib in patients with relapsed gynecological cancers to assess the response in groups of patients selected based on their cancer cell subtype and the presence of an abnormality in ARID1A gene.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Gynaecological Cancers
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: AZD6738; Drug: Olaparib

Detailed Description

ATARI is a multi-centre, open-label, multiple two-stage parallel cohorts phase II clinical trial for patients with relapsed gynaecological cancers, with ARID1A-deficient ('loss') and "no loss."

The trial tests the ATR inhibitor drug AZD6738 and a PARP inhibitor drug olaparib to assess the response in groups of patients selected based on their cancer cell subtype and the presence of an abnormality in ARID1A.

The treatment groups are: 1A - Women with clear cell subtype with (ovarian/uterus) ARID1A loss treated with AZD6738. 1B - Women with clear cell subtype with (ovarian/uterus) ARID1A loss treated with AZD6738 + olaparib. 2 - Women with clear cell subtype (ovarian/uterus) with no ARID1A loss treated with AZD6738 and olaparib. 3 - Women with other rare gynaecological cancers (carcinosarcoma, cervical, endometrioid type) irrespective of ARID1A loss treated with AZD6738 and olaparib.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Confirmed overall objective response rate (complete or partial response) as defined by RECIST version 1.1.	A patient will be said to have had an overall objective response if they have a complete/partial response as assessed radiologically according to RECIST 1.1 at any point during trial treatment. A second scan to confirm response will be taken ≥ 4 weeks after the first scan showing an objective response.	From start of treatment until treatment discontinuation - minimum follow-up of 16 weeks (if not progressed earlier), up to max study period (estimated 36 months).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Disease control rate	The proportion of patients experiencing complete or partial response, or stable disease lasting at least 16 weeks from start of treatment as assessed radiologically by RECIST version 1.1.	From start of treatment until treatment discontinuation - minimum follow-up of 16 weeks (if not progressed earlier), up to max study period (estimated 36 months).
Duration of disease control	Length of maintained response, measured according to RECIST v1.1	From start of treatment until treatment discontinuation - minimum follow-up of 16 weeks (if not progressed earlier), up to max study period (estimated 36 months).
Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Measured according to RECIST v1.1 or death. Time to last tumour assessment will be used if patient has not progressed or died, and PFS time for the patient will be considered censored. PFS will be used to calculate the proportion of patients alive and free of progression at 6 months.	From start of treatment until progression or death, whatever occurs first - estimated 6-9 months, up to max study period (36 months).
Time to Progression (TTP)	Measured according to RECIST v 1.1 or clinical progression of disease. Time to last tumour assessment will be used if patient has not progressed, and the patient will be considered censored. If the patient has died without prior progression, the patient will be censored at the date of death. Death will not count as a TTP event.	From start of treatment until disease progression - estimated 6-9 months, up to max study period (36 months)
Proportion of patients experiencing drug interruption, reduction or discontinuation due to drug related adverse events	Adverse events thought to be related to drug will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0, and coded using MedDRA (current version). Any dose reductions and delays in administration of drug due to toxicity will also be collected.	Assessed throughout the treatment period, up to and including the 30-day follow-up period - estimated 7 months, up to max study period (36 months).
Overall Survival (OS)	Defined by the time from start of treatment until death	From start of treatment until death - estimated 9 months, up to max study period (36 months).
