Brief Summary

Two drugs called Idetrexed and olaparib are being evaluated. Idetrexed is a type of drug called an "aFR-targeted thymidylate synthase inhibitor". Idetrexed has been designed to selectively target canc...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically or cytologically proven high grade serous ovarian cancer refractory to conventional treatment, or for which no conventional therapy exists or is declined by the patient.
  • Measurable (as defined by RECIST v1.1) or evaluable (based on tumour markers) disease.
  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of 0-1 (Appendix 1 of Protocol).
  • Haematological and biochemical indices within the ranges shown in Protocol section 4.1.1). These measurements must be performed within one week (Day -7 to Day 1) prior to the patient's first dose of IMP.
  • Normal (no clinically significant abnormalities) 12-lead ECG, QTcF interval \<470 ms
  • Pulmonary function test FVC of \>70%, DLCOc (DLCO corrected for Hb) of \>60%.
  • 18 years or over.
  • Written (signed and dated) informed consent and be capable of co-operating with treatment and follow-up.
  • For dose expansion patients only, they must have medium to high α-folate receptor expression according to the Ventana FOLR1-2.1 IHC assay.

Exclusion

  • Radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons), endocrine therapy, immunotherapy or chemotherapy during the previous four weeks (six weeks for nitrosoureas, Mitomycin-C) and 4 weeks for investigational medicinal products) before treatment.
  • Ongoing toxic manifestations of previous treatments. Exceptions to this are alopecia or certain Grade 1 toxicities, which in the opinion of the Investigator and the DDU should not exclude the patient.
  • Patients with new brain metastases. Patients with treated (surgically excised or irradiated) and stable brain metastases are eligible as long as the treatment was at least 4 weeks prior to initiation of study drug and brain MRI within 2 weeks of initiation of study drug is negative for new metastases.
  • Patients with pulmonary metastases.
  • History of thoracic radiation or other history likely to create pre-existing lung disease
  • Presence of significant clinical ascites and/or pleural effusions.
  • Female patients of child-bearing potential (or are already pregnant or lactating). However, those patients who have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test before enrolment and agree to use two forms of contraception (one effective form plus a barrier method) \[oral, injected or implanted hormonal contraception and condom; intra-uterine device and condom; diaphragm with spermicidal gel and condom\] or agree to sexual abstinence (see Protocol Section 16.5 - Appendix 5), effective from signing the consent form, throughout the trial and for six months afterwards are considered eligible.
  • Major thoracic or abdominal surgery from which the patient has not yet recovered.
  • Patients with sub-acute bowel obstruction.
  • Organ transplant patients.
  • At high medical risk because of non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection.
  • Known to be serologically positive for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Patients with history of QT prolongation, clinically significant VT, VF, heart block, MI within 1 year, CHF NYHA Class III or IV, unstable angina, angina within 6 months, or other evidence of clinically significant coronary artery disease/
  • Is a participant or plans to participate in another interventional clinical trial, whilst taking part in this Phase I/Ib study of Idetrexed and Olaparib. Participation in an observational trial would be acceptable.
  • Inability to tolerate Olaparib.
  • Any other condition which in the Investigator's opinion would not make the patient a good candidate for the clinical trial.
  • Confirmed, current COVID-19 infection.
