This phase II trial investigates how well the addition of olaparib following completion of surgery and chemotherapy works in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has been surgically removed (resected) and has a pathogenic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the relapse-free survival (RFS) benefit from the addition of a maintenance olaparib following completion of chemotherapy in patients with resected pancreatic carcinoma and a pathogenic germline or somatic mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate RFS in patients with olaparib after perioperative chemotherapy compared to those treated with perioperative therapy alone among patients who received prior platinum-based perioperative chemotherapy. II. To evaluate overall survival (OS) in patients treated with olaparib after adjuvan…
