Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether combining two drugs—durvalumab (an immunotherapy) and olaparib (a targeted therapy)—can help keep advanced bile duct cancer from growing after initial chemotherapy. The study will enroll 40 adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma who have not progressed on first-line treatment. Participants will receive the drug combination for up to 24 months, and researchers will monitor cancer progression, survival, and side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
durvalumab (Imfinzi) and olaparib (Lynparza)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new maintenance option to help keep advanced bile duct cancer from progressing after initial chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants. The combination may not improve outcomes and could cause side effects like fatigue, nausea, or immune-related reactions.

Serum Creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN or eGFR ≥ 30mL/min/1.73m2 as calculated by Cockcroft Gault Equation 7. Able to swallow oral medications without any difficulties or medical history associated with malabsorption or any conditions that may impact on compliance or absorption of the study treatment. 8. Women of Childbearing potential must be either totally abstinent or agree to use at least one highly effective method of birth control (e.g., oral contraceptive pill, barrier method) for the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the final dose of study medication. They must also have a negative serum beta-hCG in the 7 days prior to first dose of study drug. 9. Non-sterile males and their female partners must also either be totally abstinent or agree to use at least one highly effective method of birth control (e.g., oral contraceptive pill, barrier method) for the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the final dose of study medication. 10. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. 11. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous use of a PARP inhibitor. 2. All prior treatment-related AEs must have resolved to a CTCAE v5 Grade 1 or less prior to commencement of study medication, with the exception of alopecia and peripheral neuropathy which can be grade 2 or less. i. Patients with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the Study Physician. ii. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab or olaparib may be included only after consultation with the Study Chairs. 3. Known symptomatic or progressive CNS metastases or leptomeningeal disease. Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible for inclusion in the study if they had received treatment \>4 weeks prior to commencement of study medication, and have a repeat MRI scan demonstrating stability in disease. 4. Patients with severe chronic or active infections requiring systemic antibiotics or antifungals in the two weeks prior to starting trial treatment. 5. Any of the following cardiovascular risk factors: 1. Acute myocardial infarction (MI) ≤6 months prior to study registration 2. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Heart Failure Class III-IV within ≤6 months of registration 3. History of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) within 6 months of first dose 6. Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study, or during the follow-up period of an interventional study. 7. Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug. 8.
