Summary

This early-stage trial tested two drugs, adavosertib and olaparib, given one after the other in 13 people with advanced solid tumors that had specific genetic changes. The goal was to find the best dose and check for side effects, while seeing if the combination could shrink or stabilize tumors. The approach aims to block cancer cell growth and DNA repair, potentially offering a new option for patients who have run out of standard treatments.
