Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is an open-label, phase II study with a safety lead-in to assess the response rate of induction olaparib and stereotactic beam radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by combination olaparib/pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers after at least one of therapy.

Detailed Description
This study is an open-label, phase II study with a safety lead-in to assess the response rate of induction olaparib and stereotactic beam radiotherapy (SBRT) followed by combination olaparib/pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers after at least one of therapy. The secondary endpoint is combined therapy in tumors with evidence of both homologous recombination deficiency (by germline or somatic Next-generation DNA sequencing [NGS]), as well as homologous recombination proficiency. Exploratory endpoints will assess the impact of homologous recombination deficiency and proficiency on response to radiation, PARP inhibition and PD-1 blockade.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Provision to sign and date the consent form.
-
Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age
-
Histologically confirmed metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma that is amenable to biopsy either at primary or metastatic site.
-
Patient must consent at initiation of study to serial tumor biopsies during study. Irradiated lesions will not be considered for biopsy. For baseline biopsy, available archived tumor tissue of a metastatic tumor collected up to 28 days prior to registration is acceptable. If, after patient consent, the tumor is deemed inaccessible, the biopsy is not in the subject's best interest per investigator discretion, or the patient refuses biopsy during course of the study, patients will be allowed to remain on study.
-
Participant must have a primary tumor or a single metastatic site amenable to radiation in: the stomach, esophagus, liver, lungs, pancreas, thoracic/abdominal LNs, or soft tissues. Of note - sites of disease planned to be biopsied should not be radiated.
-
Participant must have at least one radiographically-confirmed index lesion that will not undergo RT and is measurable based on RECIST v1.1.
-
Homologous recombination deficiency cohort: pre-identified presence of somatic or germline deleterious mutation, as determined by NGS only, in at least one gene critical to DNA repair through homologous recombination, including but not limited to: ARID1A, ATM, ATRX, MRE11A, NBN, PTEN, RAD50/51/51B, BARD1, BLM, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, FANCA/C/D2/E/F/G/L, PALB2, WRN, CHEK2, CHEK1, BAP1, FAM175A, SLX4, MLL2 or XRCC.
-
All patients must undergo NGS testing in a CLIA certified, CAP tested and bioinformatics-validated testing lab PRIOR to protocol treatment, to determine which cohort they are eligible for - HRD versus HR proficient. The testing may have been done at any time prior to enrollment.
-
For patients within whom a deleterious mutation in the homologous recombination pathway is found, the determination of a deleterious mutation must be supported in the documentation included in the testing, and should include clinical, or pre-clinical literature to support the finding that a specific mutation results in impaired function of the gene, and thus impaired DNA repair through homologous recombination. Variants of unknown significance will not be eligible.
-
Patients with germline deleterious mutations may have been identified at any time point prior to inclusion in the protocol and do NOT need to have this genetic testing repeated regardless of time frame and intervening therapy.
-
Participants must have received at least one line of therapy including a fluoropyrimidine and platinum drug. For participants with HER2+ tumors, they must have received trastuzumab. Adjuvant therapy does not count toward first-line therapy unless patient recurs within 6 months of completion.
-
Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
-
Participants must have the ability to swallow whole pills and liquids at the Screening Visit and, in the investigator's judgement, for the duration of the study.
-
Have adequate organ function as defined in Table 1:
