Trial Outcomes & Findings for Olaparib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer With Aberrant DNA Repair Gene Mutations (NCT NCT04042831)

NCT ID: NCT04042831

Last Updated: 2026-05-15

Results Overview

A patient is defined as a success if the patient is progression-free and alive at the first disease evaluation scan. Disease status will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 criteria. The PFS rate will be calculated as the proportion of evaluable patients who are progression-free and alive at the first disease assessment scan. The final PFS rate point estimate and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CIs) will be reported according to the method of Clopper-Pearson.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 weeks

Population: All patients that were eligible were included

A patient is defined as a success if the patient is progression-free and alive at the first disease evaluation scan. Disease status will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 criteria. The PFS rate will be calculated as the proportion of evaluable patients who are progression-free and alive at the first disease assessment scan. The final PFS rate point estimate and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CIs) will be reported according to the method of Clopper-Pearson.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 40 months

Population: All eligible patients were included

Patients who are still alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the time of their last study assessment (if still actively on the study) or at the date, the patient was last known to be alive (if in survival follow-up). OS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median OS and corresponding 95% confidence interval (by Brookmeyer and Crowley) will be reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: All eligible patients were included

Progression free survival is defined as the time from study registration to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression will be determined based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients who do not experience disease progression or death while on the protocol will be censored at their last disease assessment date. PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Median PFS and corresponding 95% CIs (by Brookmeyer and Crowley) will be reported.

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: All eligible patients were included

Objective response (unconfirmed) is defined as achieving a complete or partial response while on treatment. The objective response rate (ORR)\> will be calculated as the proportion of evaluable patients who achieve an objective response. Disease status will be assessed using RECIST v1.1\> criteria. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Clopper and Pearson.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Patients with a recorded objective response are included

Will be defined for all evaluable patients who have achieved an objective response as the date at which the patient's earliest best objective status is first noted to be either a complete response or partial response to the earliest date progression is documented, or death if no prior evidence of disease progression. The distribution of DoR will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. The median DoR and corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported.
