This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, multi-center study to assess the real world clinical effectiveness and safety of olaparib maintenance monotherapy as the capsule formulation (in line with the EU approved prescribing information) and will be conducted in platinum-sensitive relapsed high grade epithelial ovarian cancer patients (including patients with primary peritoneal and / or fallopian tube cancer) who carry germline or somatic BRCA mutations (documented mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is predicted to be deleterious or suspected deleterious \[known or predicted to be detrimental/lead to loss of function\]).
The study will recruit approximately 250 patients with sBRCAm disease or gBRCAm disease, with the aim to accrue a minimum of 50 patients with sBRCAm disease. Patients with an unknown germline BRCA mutated status or gBRCAwt disease or previously identified as having a BRCAm disease by a tumour test will be considered for screening and will undergo, upon informed consent signature, central tumor and blood testing to determine their BRCA mutation status. In addition to central BRCA testing, patients screened for the study with unknown BRCA status or with known gBRCAwt status, for whom an adequate archival tumour tissue sample is available, will be tested for qualifying HRR gene alterations. Patients confirmed to carry a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA-independent genetic alteration in any of 13 genes involved in the Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) pathway (HRRm cohort) will be allowed into an additional exploratory cohort (HRRm cohort). It is expected that approximately 25 patients will be included in the HRRm cohort before the target number of 250 patients with BRCAm disease is reached. Patients will be assigned olaparib capsules orally 400 mg twice daily. They should initiate olaparib treatment within 8 weeks after their last dose of platinum-containing chemotherapy (last dose is the day of the last infusion) and will be assessed every 4 weeks whilst on treatment. All patients will have clinical and objective radiological tumour assessments according to modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 guidelines at baseline and every 12 weeks relative to date of enrolment, until objective radiological disease progression as determined by the investigator. Patients could continue to receive olaparib for as long as determined by the investigator, until objective radiological disease progression or as long as in the investigator's opinion they are benefiting from treatment in relation to other clinical assessments and they do not meet any other discontinuation criteria. Once a patient has discontinued olaparib she will be managed as per local clinical practice but will remain in the study and data will be collected on subsequent treatments, progression, overall survival and safety. For exploratory analysis purposes, patients will be asked to provide consent to: 1. Optional tumour samples at baseline and at disease progression 2. An optional blood sample only for patients with a confirmed sBRCAm or HRRm disease

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of PFS. The PFS was defined as the time from the date of enrolment until date of objective radiological disease progression (assessed by the Investigator via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 \[RECIST 1.1\]), or death (by any cause in absence of disease progression) regardless of whether the patient withdrew from therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to disease progression. Objective progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions (compared to previous minimum sum) and an absolute increase of \> 5 millimeters, or an overall non-target lesion assessment of progression or a new lesion. The data cut-off (DCO) for the primary analysis of the study occurred after approximately 60% maturity of PFS in the sBRCAm and all BRCAm patient populations.
Time frame: Tumour assessments at baseline then every 12 weeks relative to date of enrolment until RECIST 1.1-defined progression. Assessed until primary analysis DCO of 17 April 2020 (up to maximum of 55 months).
Overall Survival (OS); Assessed at Primary Analysis
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of OS. The OS was defined as the time from the date of enrolment until death due to any cause regardless of whether the patient withdrew from therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive. Pre-specified analysis of OS was performed at the time of primary analysis of PFS; a further analysis of OS was performed after approximately 60% maturity of OS in the sBRCAm and all BRCAm patient populations (and reported as a separate outcome measure).
Time frame: From baseline until death due to any cause. Assessed until primary analysis DCO of 17 April 2020 (up to maximum of 55 months).
Time to Second Progression (PFS2) or Death; Assessed at Primary Analysis
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of PFS2. The PFS2 was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the earliest progression event subsequent to that used for the primary variable PFS or death (by any cause) in the absence of progression. Patients whose progression event for PFS was death had this counted as a progression event for PFS2 also. The date of second progression was recorded by the Investigator and defined according to local standard clinical practice and could involve any of the following: objective radiological, symptomatic, cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) progression or death. Pre-specified analysis of PFS2 was performed at the time of the primary analysis; a further analysis of PFS2 was performed at the final analysis (and reported as a separate outcome measure).
Time frame: Tumour assessments (and blood samples for CA-125, if applicable) at baseline then every 12 weeks relative to date of enrolment until second progression. Assessed until primary analysis DCO of 17 April 2020 (up to maximum of 55 months).
Time to First Subsequent Therapy (Treatment) or Death (TFST); Assessed at Primary Analysis
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of TFST. The TFST was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the earlier of first subsequent anti-cancer therapy start date (excluding radiotherapy), or death date. Pre-specified analysis of TFST was performed at the time of the primary analysis; a further analysis of TFST was performed at the final analysis (and reported as a separate outcome measure).
Time frame: From enrolment to first subsequent therapy or death. Assessed every 12 weeks following treatment discontinuation. Assessed until primary analysis DCO of 17 April 2020 (up to maximum of 55 months).
Time to Second Subsequent Therapy (Treatment) or Death (TSST); Assessed at Primary Analysis
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of TSST. The TSST was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the earlier of the date of second subsequent anti-cancer therapy start date, or death date. Pre-specified analysis of TSST was performed at the time of the primary analysis; a further analysis of TSST was performed at the final analysis (and reported as a separate outcome measure).
Time frame: From enrolment to second subsequent therapy or death. Assessed every 12 weeks following treatment discontinuation. Assessed until primary analysis DCO of 17 April 2020 (up to maximum of 55 months).
Time to Discontinuation of Treatment or Death (TDT)
To assess the real-world clinical effectiveness of olaparib maintenance monotherapy in patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by assessment of TDT. The TDT was defined as the time from the date of enrolment to the earlier of the date of study treatment discontinuation or death.
Time frame: From enrolment to study treatment discontinuation or death (up to maximum of 6 years).
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian (FACT-O) Trial Outcome Index (TOI) Scores Over Time
To assess the Quality of Life (QoL) of patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by evaluation of FACT-O TOI. The TOI score was derived from the sum of the scores of the 25 items included in the physical well-being (7 items), functional well-being (7 items), and additional concerns ovarian cancer subscale (11 items) of the FACT-O questionnaire version 4. The FACT-O TOI score ranges from 0-100, with a higher score indicating better QoL. A change (increase or decrease) in score of at least 10 points from baseline was defined as clinically meaningful. A positive change in score from baseline indicates an improvement.
Time frame: QoL questionnaires at baseline, Day 29 (Week 4), then every 12 weeks for 24 months or DCO for primary analysis, whichever came first. QoL questionnaires also collected at discontinuation of study treatment visit and 30 days post last dose.
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Total Scores Over Time
To assess the QoL of patients with BRCAm and sBRCAm ovarian cancer by evaluation of FACIT-F. The FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire to assess patients' fatigue experience and its impact on their daily lives over the past 7 days. The FACIT-F total score ranges from 0-52, with a higher score indicating a lower level of fatigue (and better QoL). Changes in scores of ≥3 points were defined to be clinically meaningful. A positive change in score from baseline indicates an improvement.
Time frame: QoL questionnaires at baseline, Day 29 (Week 4), then every 12 weeks for 24 months or DCO for primary analysis, whichever came first. QoL questionnaires also collected at discontinuation of study treatment visit and 30 days post last dose.
Change From Baseline in Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE) Questionnaire Total Scores Over Time
The FLIE captures the impact of nausea and vomiting on patient's QoL. The FLIE consists of 18 items (9 nausea-specific and 9 vomiting-specific items), rated from 1 to 7. Two domain scores and a total score are derived; the total score ranges 18-126 and a higher score indicates a lower impact (and better QoL). A positive change in score from baseline indicates an improvement.
Time frame: FLIE questionnaires at baseline, weekly until Day 29 (Week 4), then every 12 weeks for 24 months or DCO for primary analysis, whichever came first. FLIE questionnaires also collected at discontinuation of study treatment visit and 30 days post last dose.
