Drug duo targets Hard-to-Treat IDH-Mutated tumors

NCT ID NCT03991832

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether combining two drugs—olaparib and durvalumab—can shrink or control solid tumors that have an IDH mutation. The study includes adults with certain brain tumors (glioma) or bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) that have not responded well to prior therapy. Olaparib blocks a protein that helps cancer cells grow, while durvalumab helps the immune system attack cancer cells. The goal is to see if the pair works better than either drug alone.

What this could lead to

If successful, this drug combination could offer a new treatment option for people with IDH-mutated cancers, potentially slowing tumor growth or shrinking tumors.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination may cause side effects or fail to work better than existing treatments.
