Summary

This study tested whether the drug olaparib could help keep advanced non-small cell lung cancer from growing after initial chemotherapy. Only patients whose cancer responded to platinum-based chemotherapy were eligible. The trial was terminated early, meaning it did not show enough benefit to continue. About 180 patients were planned to take part.
