NCT ID NCT03375307

First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated Jun 02, 2026 · Updated 41 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called olaparib in people with advanced bladder or related cancers that have specific DNA-repair defects. The drug works by stopping cancer cells from fixing their damaged DNA, which may cause them to die or stop growing. About 60 participants will receive olaparib to see if it can shrink tumors and improve survival. The trial is currently suspended.
