Confirmed Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Complete Response + Partial Response) Primary · Within first 6 months of study treatment

Will be measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions, any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm (\<1 cm); Partial Response (PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. A response rate of 10% is considered inactive and unworthy of further study. A response rate of 35% would be promising for further study among patients with advanced uter

Sponsor's own description

This phase II trial studies olaparib and temozolomide in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving olaparib and temozolomide may work better than giving either drug alone in treating patients with LMS.
