This study was a randomized, open-label, multi-center study in which 386 patients received either Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily (n=256) or investigator’s choice of enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate (n=130) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Among patients receiving Lynparza, 62% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 20% were exposed for greater than one year. Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 4% of patients treated with Lynparza. These included pneumonia (1.2%), cardiopulmonary failure (0.4%), aspiration pneumonia (0.4%), intestinal diverticulum (0.4%), septic shock (0.4%), Budd-Chiari Syndrome (0.4%), sudden death (0.4%), and acute cardiac failure (0.4%). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 36% of patients receiving Lynparza. The most frequent serious adverse reactions (≥2%) were anemia (9%), pneumonia (4%), pulmonary embolism (2%), fatigue/asthenia (2%), and urinary tract infection (2%). Dose interruptions due to an adverse reaction of any grade occurred in 45% of patients receiving Lynparza; dose reductions due to an adverse reaction occurred in 22% of Lynparza patients. The most frequent adverse reactions leading to dose interruption of Lynparza were anemia (25%) and thrombocytopenia (6%) and the most frequent adverse reaction leading to reduction of Lynparza was anemia (16%). Discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 18% of Lynparza. The adverse reaction that most frequently led to discontinuation of Lynparza was anemia (7%).

Warnings & Cautions for Lynparza
- Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML): Occurred in approximately 1.2% of patients with various BRCA m, g BRCA m, HRR gene-mutated or HRD-positive cancers exposed to Lynparza and the majority of events had a fatal outcome. Monitor patients for hematological toxicity at baseline and monthly thereafter. Discontinue if MDS/AML is confirmed. (5.1)
- Pneumonitis: Occurred in 1.0% of patients exposed to Lynparza, and some cases were fatal. Interrupt treatment if pneumonitis is suspected. Discontinue if pneumonitis is confirmed. (5.2)
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including severe or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), occurred in patients treated with Lynparza. VTE occurred in 8% of patients with mCRPC. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of VTE and PE and treat as medically appropriate. ( 5.3 )
- Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-induced liver injury (DILI): Occurred in patients treated with Lynparza. If DILI is suspected, interrupt Lynparza. If DILI is confirmed, discontinue treatment. ( 5.4 )
- Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.5 , 8.1 , 8.3 ) 5.1 Myelodysplastic Syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza and some cases were fatal. In clinical studies, among 2219 patients with various BRCA m, g BRCA m, HRR gene-mutated or HRD-positive cancers who received Lynparza as a single agent or as part of combination regimen, consistent with approved indications, the cumulative incidence of MDS/AML was approximately 1.2% (26/2219) [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Of these, 54% (14/26) had a fatal outcome. The median duration of therapy with Lynparza in patients who developed MDS/AML was approximately 2 years (range: < 6 months to > 4 years). All of these patients had received previous chemotherapy with platinum agents and/or other DNA damaging agents including radiotherapy. In SOLO1, patients with newly diagnosed advanced BRCA m ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.9% (5/260) in patients who received Lynparza and 0.8% (1/130) in patients who received placebo based on an updated analysis. In PAOLA-1, of patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer with HRD-positive status, the incidence of MDS/AML was 1.6% (4/255) in patients who received Lynparza and 2.3% (3/131) in the control arm. In SOLO2, patients with BRCA m platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer, the incidence of MDS/AML was 8% (15/195) in patients who received Lynparza and 4% (4/99) in patients who received placebo. The duration of Lynparza treatment prior to the diagnosis of MDS/AML ranged from 0.6 years to 4.5 years. Do not start Lynparza until patients have recovered from hematological toxicity caused by previous chemotherapy (≤ Grade 1). Monitor complete blood count for cytopenia at baseline and monthly thereafter for clinically significant changes during treatment. For prolonged hematological toxicities, interrupt Lynparza and monitor blood counts weekly until recovery. If the levels have not recovered to Grade 1 or less after 4 weeks, refer the patient to a hematologist for further investigations, including bone marrow analysis and blood sample for cytogenetics. If MDS/AML is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza. 5.2 Pneumonitis Pneumonitis, including severe and fatal cases, has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza. In clinical studies, among patients who received Lynparza as a single agent or as part of a combination regimen [see Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. ] , the incidence of pneumonitis, including fatal cases, was 1.0% (29/2851). If patients present with new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough and fever, or a radiological abnormality occurs, interrupt Lynparza treatment and promptly assess the source of the symptoms. If pneumonitis is confirmed, discontinue Lynparza treatment and treat the patient appropriately . 5.3 Venous Thromboembolism Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including severe or fatal pulmonary embolism (PE), occurred in patients treated with Lynparza [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the combined data of two randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies (PROfound and PROpel) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (N=1180), VTE occurred in 8% of patients who received Lynparza, including pulmonary embolism in 6%. In the control arms, VTE occurred in 2.5% including pulmonary embolism in 1.5%. Monitor patients for clinical signs and symptoms of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and treat as medically appropriate, which may include long-term anticoagulation as clinically indicated. 5.4 Hepatotoxicity, Including Drug-Induced Liver Injury Hepatotoxicity, including severe and potentially fatal cases of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), has occurred in patients treated with Lynparza [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . Evaluate bilirubin and transaminases at baseline and throughout treatment with Lynparza. For patients who develop abnormal liver tests after Lynparza, monitor more frequently for liver test abnormalities and clinical signs and symptoms of hepatic toxicity. If DILI is suspected, withhold Lynparza. Upon confirmation of DILI, discontinue Lynparza. 5.5 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman based on its mechanism of action and findings in animals. In an animal reproduction study, administration of olaparib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused teratogenicity and embryo-fetal toxicity at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 300 mg twice daily. Apprise pregnant women of the potential hazard to a fetus and the potential risk for loss of the pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose of Lynparza. Based on findings from genetic toxicity and animal reproduction studies, advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential or who are pregnant to use effective contraception during treatment and for 3 months following the last dose of Lynparza [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 )] .
Drug Interactions with Lynparza
- Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, reduce Lynparza dosage. ( 2.4 , 7.2 , 12.3 )
- Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.2 , 12.3 ) 7.1 Use with Anticancer Agents Clinical studies of Lynparza with other myelosuppressive anticancer agents, including DNA damaging agents, indicate a potentiation and prolongation of myelosuppressive toxicity. 7.2 Effect of Other Drugs on Lynparza Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Coadministration of CYP3A inhibitors can increase olaparib concentrations, which may increase the risk for adverse reactions [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors. If the strong or moderate inhibitor must be coadministered, reduce the dose of Lynparza [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ]. Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreased olaparib exposure, which may reduce Lynparza efficacy [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers.
Pregnancy Safety for Lynparza
Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings in animals and its mechanism of action , Lynparza can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on Lynparza use in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. In an animal reproduction study, the administration of olaparib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis caused teratogenicity and embryo-fetal toxicity at exposures below those in patients receiving the recommended human dose of 300 mg twice daily (see Data ). Apprise pregnant women of the potential hazard to the fetus and the potential risk for loss of the pregnancy.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. The estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2-4%; and the risk for spontaneous abortion is approximately 15-20% in clinically recognized pregnancies. Data Animal Data In a fertility and early embryonic development study in female rats, olaparib was administered orally for 14 days before mating through to Day 6 of pregnancy, which resulted in increased post-implantation loss at a dose level of 15 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 7% of the human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose). In an embryo-fetal development study, pregnant rats received oral doses of 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg/day olaparib during the period of organogenesis.
A dose of 0.5 mg/kg/day (with maternal systemic exposures approximately 0.18% of human exposure (AUC 0-24h ) at the recommended dose) caused embryo-fetal toxicities including increased post-implantation loss and major malformations of the eyes (anophthalmia, microphthalmia), vertebrae/ribs (extra rib or ossification center; fused or absent neural arches, ribs, and sternebrae), skull (fused exoccipital), and diaphragm (hernia). Additional abnormalities or variants included incomplete or absent ossification (vertebrae/sternebrae, ribs, limbs) and other findings in the vertebrae/sternebrae, pelvic girdle, lung, thymus, liver, ureter, and umbilical artery. Some findings noted above in the eyes, ribs, and ureter were observed at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day olaparib at lower incidence.
Pediatric Use of Lynparza
Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of Lynparza have not been established in pediatric patients.
Clinical Studies of Lynparza
- 14.1 First-Line Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Advanced Ovarian Cancer The efficacy of Lynparza was evaluated in SOLO-1 (NCT01844986), a randomized (2:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial in patients with BRCA -mutated advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Patients were randomized to receive Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily or placebo. Treatment was continued for up to 2 years or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; however, patients with evidence of disease at 2 years, who in the opinion of the treating healthcare provider could derive further benefit from continuous treatment, could be treated beyond 2 years. Randomization was stratified by response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (complete or partial response). The major efficacy outcome was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1. A total of 391 patients were randomized, 260 to Lynparza and 131 to placebo. The median age of patients treated with Lynparza was 53 years (range: 29 to 82) and 53 years (range: 31 to 84) among patients on placebo. The ECOG performance status (PS) was 0 in 77% of patients receiving Lynparza and 80% of patients receiving placebo. Of all patients, 82% were White, 36% were enrolled in the U.S. or Canada, and 82% were in complete response to their most recent platinum-based regimen. The majority of patients (n=389) had germline BRCA mutation (g BRCA m), and 2 patients had somatic BRCA m (s BRCA m). Of the 391 patients randomized in SOLO-1, 386 were retrospectively or prospectively tested with a Myriad BRACAnalysis test and 383 patients were confirmed to have deleterious or suspected deleterious g BRCA m status; 253 were randomized to the Lynparza arm and 130 to the placebo arm. Two out of 391 patients randomized in SOLO-1 were confirmed to have s BRCA m based on an investigational Foundation Medicine tissue test. SOLO-1 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in investigator-assessed PFS for Lynparza compared to placebo. Results from a blinded independent review were consistent. At the time of the analysis of PFS, overall survival (OS) data were not mature (21% of patients had died). Efficacy results are presented in Table 18 and Figure 1.

Figure 1 Kaplan-Meier Curves of Investigator-Assessed Progression-Free Survival - SOLO-1 Figure 1 14.2 First-line Maintenance Treatment of HRD-positive Advanced Ovarian Cancer in Combination with Bevacizumab PAOLA-1 (NCT02477644) was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center trial that compared the efficacy of Lynparza in combination with bevacizumab versus placebo/bevacizumab for the maintenance treatment of advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Randomization was stratified by first-line treatment outcome (timing and outcome of cytoreductive surgery and response to platinum-based chemotherapy) and t BRCA m status, determined by prospective local testing. All available clinical samples were retrospectively tested with Myriad myChoice ® CDx. Patients were required to have no evidence of disease (NED) due to complete surgical resection, or who were in complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) following completion of first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy and bevacizumab. Patients were randomized (2:1) to receive Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily in combination with bevacizumab (n=537) 15 mg/kg every three weeks or placebo/bevacizumab (n=269). Patients continued bevacizumab in the maintenance setting and started treatment with Lynparza after a minimum of 3 weeks and up to a maximum of 9 weeks following completion of their last dose of chemotherapy. Lynparza treatment was continued for up to 2 years or until progression of the underlying disease or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who in the opinion of the treating physician could derive further benefit from continuous treatment could be treated beyond 2 years. Treatment with bevacizumab was for a total of up to 15 months, including the period given with chemotherapy and given as maintenance. The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed PFS evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.1. An additional efficacy endpoint was overall survival (OS). A statistically significant difference in PFS was observed in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. Planned exploratory analyses of PFS and OS were conducted in patients with known HRD status. The PFS hazard ratio (HR) for patients with HRD-negative tumors (277/806; 34%) was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.75, 1.34) and the OS HR was 1.18 (95% CI: 0.87, 1.60) indicating that the clinical benefit was primarily attributed to the results seen in the HRD-positive population. Efficacy results in patients with HRD-positive tumors are summarized in Table 19, Figure 2, and Figure 3. Among the 387 patients (48%) with HRD-positive tumors identified post-randomization using the Myriad myChoice® HRD Plus tumor test the median age was 58 years in both arms (range 32-82). Ovarian cancer was the primary tumor type in 87% of patients in both arms. Ninety five percent (95%) were serous histological type. The ECOG performance score was 0 in 75% of patients and 1 in 24% of patients. All patients had received first-line platinum-based therapy and bevacizumab. First-line treatment outcomes at screening indicated that patients had no evidence of disease with complete macroscopic resection at initial debulking surgery (36%), no evidence of disease/CR with complete macroscopic resection at interval debulking surgery (29%, both arms), no evidence of disease/CR in patients who had either incomplete resection (at initial or interval debulking surgery) or no debulking surgery (16%, both arms) and patients with a partial response (19%, both arms). Sixty-two (62%) of patients in the Lynparza/bevacizumab arm and 58% of patients in placebo/bevacizumab arm had tumors with a deleterious BRCA mutation. Patients were not restricted by the surgical outcome with 67% having complete cytoreduction at initial or interval debulking surgery and 33% having residual macroscopic disease.

Figure 2 figure-3 14.3 Maintenance Treatment of BRCA -mutated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer The efficacy of Lynparza was evaluated in SOLO-2 (NCT01874353), a randomized (2:1) double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients with BRCA m ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who were in response to platinum-based therapy. Patients were randomized to Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily or placebo until unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease. Randomization was stratified by response to last platinum chemotherapy (complete versus partial) and time to disease progression in the penultimate platinum-based chemotherapy prior to enrollment (6-12 months versus >12 months). All patients had received at least two prior platinum-containing regimens and were in response (complete or partial) to their most recent platinum-based regimen. The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed PFS evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.1. An additional efficacy outcome measure was OS. A total of 295 patients were randomized, 196 to Lynparza and 99 to placebo. The median age of patients treated with Lynparza was 56 years (range: 28 to 83) and 56 years (range: 39 to 78) among patients treated with placebo. The ECOG PS was 0 in 83% of patients receiving Lynparza and 78% of patients receiving placebo. Of all patients, 89% were White, 17% were enrolled in the U.S. or Canada, 47% were in complete response to their most recent platinum-based regimen, and 40% had a progression-free interval of 6-12 months since their penultimate platinum regimen. Prior bevacizumab therapy was reported for 17% of those treated with Lynparza and 20% of those receiving placebo. Approximately 44% of patients on the Lynparza arm and 37% on placebo had received three or more lines of platinum-based treatment. All (100%) patients enrolled had g BRCA mutations. All patients had a deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutation as detected either by a local test (n=236) or central Myriad CLIA test (n=59), subsequently confirmed by BRACAnalysis CDx ® (n=286). SOLO-2 demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in investigator-assessed PFS in patients randomized to Lynparza as compared with placebo. Results from a blinded independent review were consistent. The final analysis of OS did not reach statistical significance. Efficacy results are presented in Table 20 and Figures 4 and 5.

Patients were randomized to receive Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily or placebo. Treatment was continued for up to 1 year, or until disease recurrence, or unacceptable toxicity. Patients were required to have completed at least 6 cycles of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy containing anthracyclines, taxanes or both. Prior platinum for previous cancer (e.g., ovarian) or as adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer was allowed. Patients with high-risk early breast cancer were defined as follows:
- patients who received prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy: patients with either triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or hormone receptor positive breast cancer must have had residual invasive cancer in the breast and/or the resected lymph nodes (non-pathologic complete response) at the time of surgery. Additionally, patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer must have had a score of ≥3 based on pre-treatment clinical and post-treatment pathologic stage (CPS), estrogen receptor (ER) status, and histologic grade as shown in Table 21. Table 21 Early Breast Cancer Stage, Receptor Status, and Grade Scoring Requirements for Study Enrollment Total score of ≥3 required for patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer.

- patients who received prior adjuvant chemotherapy: patients with TNBC must have had node positive disease or node negative disease with a ≥2cm primary tumor; patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer must have had ≥4 pathologically confirmed positive lymph nodes. Randomization was stratified by hormone receptor status (hormone receptor positive versus triple negative), by prior neoadjuvant versus adjuvant chemotherapy, and by prior platinum use for breast cancer (yes versus no). The major efficacy outcome measure was invasive disease free survival (IDFS), defined as the time from randomization to date of first recurrence, where recurrence is defined as invasive loco-regional, distant recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, new cancer or death from any cause. An additional efficacy outcome measure was OS. A total of 1836 patients were randomized, 921 to Lynparza and 915 to placebo. Demographic and baseline characteristics were well balanced between arms. The median age was 42 years. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of patients were White, 29% were Asian, and 3% were Black. Three percent (3%) of patients were Hispanic or Latino. Two patients (0.2%) in the Lynparza arm and four patients (0.4%) in the placebo arm were male. Sixty-one percent (61%) of patients were pre-menopausal. Eighty-nine percent (89%) of patients were ECOG performance status 0 and 11% ECOG PS 1. Eighty-two percent (82%) of patients had TNBC and 18% had hormone receptor-positive disease. Fifty percent (50%) of patients had received prior neoadjuvant and 50% received prior adjuvant chemotherapy. Ninety-four percent (94%) of patients received anthracycline and taxane chemotherapy. Twenty-six (26%) of patients overall had received prior platinum for breast cancer. Ninety percent (90%) of patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer received concurrent endocrine therapy. Patients enrolled based on local gBRCA test results provided a sample for retrospective confirmatory central testing with BRACAnalysis®. Out of 1836 patients enrolled into OlympiA, 1623 were confirmed as gBRCAm by Myriad BRACAnalysis®, either prospectively or retrospectively. A statistically significant improvement in IDFS and OS was demonstrated in patients in the Lynparza arm compared with the placebo arm. Efficacy data for OlympiA (FAS) are presented in Table 22 and Figures 6 and 7.

Patients were required to have received treatment with an anthracycline (unless contraindicated) and a taxane, in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting. Patients with hormone receptor-positive disease must have progressed on at least 1 endocrine therapy (adjuvant or metastatic), or have disease that the treating healthcare provider believed to be inappropriate for endocrine therapy. Patients with prior platinum therapy were required to have no evidence of disease progress during platinum treatment. No prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor was permitted. Patients were randomized to Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily or healthcare provider’s choice of chemotherapy (capecitabine, eribulin, or vinorelbine, at standard doses) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Randomization was stratified by prior use of chemotherapy for metastatic disease (yes vs no), hormone receptor status (hormone receptor positive vs triple negative), and previous use of platinum-based chemotherapy (yes vs no). The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) using RECIST version 1.1. A total of 302 patients were randomized, 205 to Lynparza and 97 to chemotherapy. Among the 205 patients treated with Lynparza, the median age was 44 years (range: 22 to 76), 65% were White, 4% were males and all the patients had an ECOG PS of 0 or 1. Approximately 50% of patients had triple-negative tumors and 50% had estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive tumors and the proportions were balanced across treatment arms. Patients in each treatment arm had received a median of 1 prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease; approximately 30% had not received a prior chemotherapy regimen for metastatic breast cancer. Twenty-one percent of patients in the Lynparza arm and 14% in the chemotherapy arm had received platinum therapy for metastatic disease. Seven percent of patients in each treatment arm had received platinum therapy for localized disease. Of the 302 patients randomized onto OlympiAD, 299 were tested with the BRACAnalysis CDx ® and 297 were confirmed to have deleterious or suspected deleterious g BRCA m status; 202 were randomized to the Lynparza arm and 95 to the healthcare provider’s choice of chemotherapy arm. A statistically significant improvement in PFS was demonstrated for the Lynparza arm compared to the chemotherapy arm. Efficacy data for OlympiAD are displayed in Table 23 and Figure 8. Consistent results were observed across patient subgroups defined by study stratification factors. An exploratory analysis of investigator-assessed PFS was consistent with the BICR-assessed PFS results.

Patients were required to have metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with a deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutation (g BRCA m) and absence of disease progression after receipt of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy for at least 16 weeks. Patients were randomized to receive Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily or placebo until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The major efficacy outcome measure was PFS by BICR using RECIST, version 1.1 modified to assess patients with clinical complete response at entry who were assessed as having no evidence of disease unless they had progressed based on the appearance of new lesions. Additional efficacy outcome measures were OS and ORR. A total of 154 patients were randomized, 92 to Lynparza and 62 to placebo. The median age was 57 years (range 36 to 84); 54% were male; 92% were White, 4% were Asian, and 3% were Black; baseline ECOG PS was 0 (67%) or 1 (31%). The median time from initiation of first-line platinum-based chemotherapy to randomization was 5.8 months (range 3.4 to 33.4 months). Seventy-five percent (75%) of patients received FOLFIRINOX with a median of 9 cycles (range 4-61), 8% received FOLFOX or XELOX, 4% received GEMOX, and 3% received gemcitabine plus cisplatin; 49% achieved a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. All patients had a deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA -mutation as detected by the Myriad BRAC Analysis ® or BRACAnalysis CDx ® at a central laboratory only (n=106), local BRCA test only (n=4), or both local and central testing (n=44). Among the 150 patients with central test results, 30% had a mutation in BRCA1 ; 69% had a mutation in BRCA2 ; and 1 patient (1%) had mutations in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 . POLO demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in BICR-assessed PFS in patients randomized to Lynparza as compared with placebo. The final analysis of OS did not reach statistical significance. Efficacy results of POLO are provided in Table 24 and Figure 9.

Figure 9 Kaplan-Meier Curves of BICR-Assessed Progression-Free Survival – POLO figure-9 14.7 HRR Gene-mutated Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer The efficacy of Lynparza was evaluated in PROfound (NCT02987543), randomized, open-label, multi-center trial that evaluated the efficacy of Lynparza 300 mg twice daily versus a comparator arm of investigator’s choice of enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). All patients received a GnRH analog or had prior bilateral orchiectomy. Patients needed to have progressed on prior enzalutamide or abiraterone for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer and/or CRPC and have a tumor mutation in one of 15 genes involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on HRR gene mutation status. Patients with mutations in either BRCA1 , BRCA2 , or ATM were randomized in Cohort A; patients with mutations among 12 other genes involved in the HRR pathway ( BARD1 , BRIP1 , CDK12 , CHEK1 , CHEK2 , FANCL , PALB2 , PPP2R2A , RAD51B , RAD51C , RAD51D , or RAD54L ) were randomized in Cohort B; patients with co-mutations ( BRCA1 , BRCA2 , or ATM plus a Cohort B gene) were assigned to Cohort A. Although patients with PPP2R2A gene mutations were enrolled in the trial, Lynparza is not indicated for the treatment of patients with this gene mutation due to unfavorable risk-benefit. Patients were randomized (2:1), 256 to Lynparza arm and 131 to enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate arm; in Cohort A there were 245 (162 Lynparza arm and 83 in enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate arm) and in Cohort B there were 142 patients (94 in Lynparza arm and 48 in enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate arm). Randomization was stratified by prior receipt of taxane chemotherapy and presence of measurable disease by RECIST 1.1. Treatment was continued until objective radiological disease progression determined by BICR. Upon radiological progression confirmed by BICR, patients randomized to enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate were given the option to switch to Lynparza. Patients with HRR gene mutations were identified by tissue-based testing using the Foundation Medicine FoundationOne ® clinical trial HRR assay performed at a central laboratory. Determination of deleterious or suspected deleterious somatic or germline HRR mutation status in line with the FDA-approved mutation classification and testing criteria for the Foundation Medicine F1CDx tissue-based assay and assessment of the germline- BRCA status using the Myriad BRACAnalysis CDx blood-based assay was performed retrospectively. Representation of individual gene mutations by cohort is provided in Table 25. No patients were enrolled who had mutations in two of the 15 pre-specified HRR genes: FANCL and RAD51C . Table 25 Frequency of Patients with HRR Mutations Enrolled in PROfound HRR Mutation Cohort A N=245 n (%) Cohort B Three patients with single BRCA2 or ATM gene mutations and 1 patient with co-occurring BRCA2+CDK12 gene mutations were incorrectly assigned to Cohort B.

The ECOG performance score was 0 or 1 in most patients (95%) in both arms. In patients treated with Lynparza, the proportion of patients with RECIST 1.1 measurable disease at baseline was 58%, including 17% with lung and 10% with liver metastases, respectively. At randomization, 66% of patients had received prior taxane chemotherapy, 40% had received enzalutamide, 38% had received abiraterone acetate, and 20% had received both enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate. Patient characteristics were well-balanced between arms. The major efficacy outcome of the study was radiological progression-free survival (rPFS) (Cohort A) as determined by BICR using RECIST version 1.1 and Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 3 (PCWG3) (bone) criteria. Additional efficacy outcomes included confirmed objective response rate (ORR) (Cohort A), rPFS (combined Cohorts A+B) as assessed by BICR, and overall survival (OS) (Cohort A). PROfound demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in BICR-assessed rPFS for Lynparza compared to investigator’s choice of enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate in Cohort A and Cohort A+B. In an exploratory analysis for patients in Cohort B, the median rPFS was 4.8 months for Lynparza vs 3.3 months for comparator with a HR of 0.88 (95% CI 0.58, 1.36). The major efficacy outcome was supported by a statistically significant improvement in ORR by BICR for patients with measurable disease at baseline in Cohort A. In Cohort B, ORR by BICR was 3.7% (95% CI 0.5, 12.7) in Lynparza treated patients and 8.3% (95% CI 1.0, 27.0) in patients treated with enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate. The final analysis of overall survival (OS) demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in OS in patients randomized to Lynparza compared to patients in the enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate arm in Cohort A. Efficacy results of PROfound are provided in Tables 26 and 27 and Figures 10 and 11.

Figure 11 Kaplan-Meier Curves of Overall Survival – PROfound – Cohort A Response data by HRR mutations for patients in the Lynparza arm are presented in Table 27. In the comparator arm of Cohorts A and B, a total of three patients achieved a partial response, including one patient with an ATM mutation alone and 2 patients with co-occurring mutations (one with PALB2 + PPP2R2A and one with CDK12 + PALB2 ). Table 27 Response Rate and Duration of Response by HRR Mutation in Patients with Measurable Disease at Baseline on the Lynparza Arm – PROfound (BICR-assessed) HRR mutation No patients with FANCL or RAD51C enrolled.

Patients (N=138) Confirmed ORR In patients with a single BRCA2 mutation the median duration of response in the Lynparza arm (n=24) was 5.6 months (95% C.I: 5.5, 9.2). In the 3 responders with a single ATM mutation in the Lynparza arm, the duration of response ranged from 5.8+ to 9.0 months.

Patients (n=796) were randomized (1:1) to receive Lynparza tablets 300 mg orally twice daily in combination with abiraterone 1000 mg daily (n=399) compared with placebo plus abiraterone (n=397). All patients received either prednisone or prednisolone 5 mg twice daily, and a GnRH analog or prior bilateral orchiectomy. Patients with prior treatment with abiraterone were excluded. Prior docetaxel for localized or metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) was allowed. Randomization was stratified by metastases (bone only, visceral, or other) and docetaxel treatment at mHSPC stage (yes or no). Lynparza treatment was continued until objective radiological disease progression determined by investigator or unacceptable toxicity. BRCA gene mutation ( BRCA m) status was assessed after randomization and before primary analysis by both NGS-based tumor tissue and ctDNA tests. BRCA m classification criteria in line with the FDA approved assays were used to determine the deleterious and suspected deleterious somatic or germline mutation status of patients. The major efficacy outcome measure was investigator-assessed rPFS evaluated according to RECIST, version 1.1 and Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG3) (bone) criteria. Overall survival (OS) was an additional efficacy outcome measure. Of the 796 patients tested, 85 (11%) had BRCA m determined by either a positive ctDNA test (9%) or a tumor tissue test (6%). Among these 85 patients, the median age was 68 years (range 43 to 85), and 67% were 65 years or older; 72% were White, 22% Asian, and 2% Black or African American; 66% had ECOG performance status (PS) 0 and 34% had ECOG PS 1; 25% had prior docetaxel treatment for mHSPC; 53% had bone-only metastases, 15% had visceral metastases, and 32% had other metastases. A statistically significant improvement in rPFS for Lynparza/abiraterone compared to placebo/abiraterone was observed in the intention to treat (ITT) population. In an exploratory analysis in the subgroup of 711 patients without an identified BRCA m, the rPFS hazard ratio was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.63, 0.96) and the OS hazard ratio was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.74, 1.14), indicating that the improvement in the ITT population was primarily attributed to the results seen in the subgroup of patients with BRCA m. Results of an exploratory analysis in the subgroup of 85 patients on PROpel with BRCA m are summarized in Table 28 and Figure 12 and 13. Results from the BICR assessment were consistent with the investigator-assessed rPFS results.
