About the Study

This is a study for people diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency, or whose disease has responded well to first-line or second-line platinum therapy. The goal of this study is to look at whether combining the immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab and the PARP inhibitor, olaparib is a more effective treatment for this cancer than taking olaparib alone.

Type of Study

The study is an open-label, non-randomized study with three treatment groups. 

Study participants whose cancer is stable or responded responded to first-line or second-line platinum therapy will be divided into three groups:

What the Study Entails

Patients in all three study groups will receive the following treatments:

Therapy will continue as long as the cancer does not get worse and patients are tolerating treatment.
