SHARON: A Clinical Trial for Metastatic Cancer With an Inherited BRCA or PALB2 Mutation Using Chemotherapy and Patients’ Own Stem Cells
The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of melphalan, BCNU, hydroxocobalamin, ascorbic acid, and autologous (self) bone marrow stem cell infusion, is safe and effective for treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer or Stage IV, HER2-negative breast cancer who have a BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 inherited mutation. All of these treatments are given intravenously (by vein). This study is open to people who have already received a PARP inhibitor, as well as those who have not. There are no restrictions on the number of prior treatments a patient has received before enrolling.

PETRA is studying a new PARP inhibitor AZD5305 taken either alone or combined with other treatments in people with advanced ovarian, breast, prostate or pancreatic cancer with an inherited or tumor mutation in: BRCA1/2, PALB2, RAD51C or RAD51D. The treaments participants receive will depend on their cancer type, mutation and when they join the study.

Treatment

Targeted Therapy RP-3500 Alone or in Combination with Talazoparib or Gemcitabine in Advanced Solid Tumors with DNA Damage Repair Mutations (TRESR Study)
This study is looking at how well a drug called RP-3500 works either alone or when combined with other cancer treatments in people with different types of advanced cancers with a mutation in one of the following genes: BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, ATRIP, CHTF8, FZR1, MRE11, NBN, RAD17, RAD50, REV3L, SETD2 or RNASEH2. RP-3500 is a type of oral, targeted therapy known as an ATR inhibitor. The combination prescribed will depend on cancer type and mutation and when people join the study.

Testing the New Targeted Therapy CYH33 in Combination With the PARP Inhibitor Olaparib in People With Advanced Solid Tumors and DNA Damage Repair Mutations
This study will look at safety and effectiveness of the targeted therapy CYH33 combined with the PARP inhibitor olaparib in people with advanced cancers and a DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutation whose cancer got worse on, or after receiving a PARP inhibitor. The study will also enroll people with recurrent, platinum resistant ovarian cancer. In addition to safety and efficacy, the study will test whether the combination of CYH33 and olaparib can block tumor growth and overcome a patient’s resistance to PARP inhibitor treatment.

Treatment
HOPE: Olaparib, Palbociclib and Fulvestrant for BRCA-Associated, ER/PR-Positive, Her2-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
The goal of this study is to find the best dose and measure side effects of palbociclib when given together with olaparib and fulvestrant, in treating people with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer who have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Palbociclib and Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Fulvestrant is a type of treatment that may prevent breast cancer cell growth by blocking estrogen and progesterone receptor stimulation.
Treatment
A Phase 2 Study of Olaparib Monotherapy in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients with Germline or Somatic Mutations in DNA Repair Genes (Olaparib Expanded)
Olaparib Expanded is a study looking at whether the drug Olaparib is effective treatment for people with certain types of metastatic breast cancer. Olaparib belongs to a class of drugs known as PARP inhibitors. PARP inhibitors are particularly effective for treating tumors in people with an inherited BRCA mutation. This study is looking at whether olaparib is also effective for treating metastatic breast cancer in people who do not have an inherited BRCA mutation. Currently the study is only recruiting people with an inherited PALB2 mutation or people who test negative for an inherited mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 but have an acquired (somatic) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation found on tumor testing.

Treatment
Talazoparib for People with Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Acquired (Somatic) BRCA Mutations
This is a study for patients with metastatic breast cancer who do not have an inherited mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 but who are are found to have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 acquired tumor mutation (somatic mutation) found through liquid biopsy. Patients are treated with talazoparib, a well-tolerated oral PARP inhibitor that targets the BRCA1/2 mutation to determine whether this treatment (which is already approved for germline BRCA1/2 carriers) is effective in this population.

Treatment
A Randomized Study of an eHealth Delivery Alternative for Cancer Genetic Testing for Hereditary Predisposition in Metastatic Breast, Ovarian, Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Genetic testing can be helpful to identify potential targeted treatments for some patients with metastatic cancer. But some patients have a hard time getting easy and fast testing. This study is looking at using web options to increase access to testing AND patients in this study can get genetic counseling and testing in their home!
