A Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Combination of Olaparib and Temozolomide for the Treatment of Advanced Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

Summary

This phase II trial studies olaparib and temozolomide in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving olaparib and temozolomide may work better than giving either drug alone in treating patients with LMS.
