Summary

This phase I trial tests two different oral forms of the cancer drug olaparib (AZD2281) in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to see how well the body absorbs each form. About 197 participants will receive both forms in a random order to compare their bioavailability and safety.

What this could mean
