Summary

This trial is testing 3 different combinations of drugs or 1 drug by itself to see if it can effectively treat patients with a certain type of breast cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who haven't been treated with PARP inhibitors like olaparib. They must be able to consent, have a life expectancy of at least 16 weeks, and agree to biopsies and contraception if applicable. Exclusions include certain medication use, other cancers unless cured over 5 years ago, CNS metastases, major surgery recently, or conditions affecting drug absorption.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of olaparib combined with durvalumab (a monoclonal antibody), selumetinib (MEK inhibitor), capivasertib (AKT inhibitor) or ceralasertib alone (ATR inhibitor) in treating metastatic triple negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if these combinations can stop tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, fatigue, blood count changes from olaparib; immune-related reactions from durvalumab; skin rash or heart issues from selumetinib; hyperglycemia or rash from capivasertib; and anemia or fatigue from ceralasertib. Each patient's experience may vary.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm IV (ceralasertib)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions

Patients deriving clinical benefit from treatment may, at the investigator's discretion and in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, continue on therapy beyond the planned 13 cycles.
Group II: Arm III (olaparib, capivasertib)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive olaparib PO BID on days 1-28 of each cycle and capivasertib PO BID 4 days on and 3 days off of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients deriving clinical benefit from treatment may, at the investigator's discretion and in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, continue on therapy beyond the planned 13 cycles.
Group III: Arm II (olaparib, selumetinib)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions

Group IV: Arm I (olaparib, durvalumab)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
