Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 19 and older with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the biliary tract and specific DNA damage repair gene mutations.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage biliary tract cancer or those who have not undergone prior platinum-based chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Olaparib, with or without Durvalumab, as a maintenance therapy for patients with biliary tract cancer who have DNA damage repair gene mutations and have completed first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The study aims to address the unmet need for effective maintenance treatment in patients who have not progressed after initial chemotherapy. Participants will be monitored for progression-free survival and overall response to the treatment regimen. The trial is designed for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer, specifically those with adenocarcinoma who have undergone prior chemotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the survival outcomes for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer who have completed initial chemotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar approaches using maintenance therapies in cancer treatment, indicating potential for success in this trial.

Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 6 months. * Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study. * Medical or psychiatric conditions that compromise the patient's ability to give informed consent or to complete the protocol or a history of non-compliance * 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).
