Full Title
A Randomized Trial of Selumetinib and Olaparib or Selumetinib alone in Patients with recurrent or persistent RAS Pathway Mutant Ovarian and Endometrial Cancers (NCI ComboMATCH - EAY191-N4) (CIRB)Purpose
In this study, researchers are comparing selumetinib plus olaparib to selumetinib alone to treat endometrial or ovarian cancer. People in this study have cancer that came back or keeps growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers have a change (mutation or variant) in a RAS gene.
Selumetinib may stop cancer growth by blocking some of the enzymes cancer cells need to grow. Olaparib inhibits PARP, an enzyme that helps repair damaged DNA (genetic material). Blocking PARP may keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA and cause them to die. Adding olaparib to selumetinib may work better against ovarian and endometrial cancer than selumetinib alone.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to get either selumetinib plus olaparib or selumetinib alone. Both medicines are taken orally (by mouth).
