Analysis of Olaparib Response in Patients With BRCA1 and/or 2 Promoter Methylation Diagnosed of Advanced Breast Cancer

Inclusion Criteria

• •1. \*The patient has signed and dated the informed consent document and it has been obtained before conducting any procedure specifically for the study.
• •2. Female ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent.
• •3. Patient with histological confirmation of breast cancer with evidence of advanced disease not amenable to resection or radiation therapy with curative intent.
• •4. Documented Triple Negative (TN) disease by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or in situ hybridization based on local testing (preferably assessed on the most recent tumour biopsy available). TN is defined as negative hormone receptor status (\< 1% of tumour cells with Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PgR) expression) and Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative status (defined as IHC score 0/1+ or negative by in situ hybridization defined according to local criteria).
• •5. Patient must have received at least one previous regimen in the advance disease setting.
• •6. Absence of deleterious or suspected deleterious germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2. Germinal BRCA mutational status will be centrally assessed in Myriad laboratories to check eligibility unless the test has been previously performed at Myriad and absence of mutations has been determined.
• •7. Availability of a tumour tissue sample from the metastatic lesions (every effort should be done to obtain the sample after the previous therapeutic regimen for advanced disease) for central testing.
• •8. Documented methylation of BRCA1 and/or 2 promoters based on central testing by analysis on the most recent tumour from metastatic lesions available.
• •9. At least one lesion measurable not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or clinical examination and which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements according to RECIST v.1.1.

Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, moderate or severe hepatic impairment (according to Child-Pugh classification), an extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent.
