Plain-language summary

This is a Phase II, open label, non randomized correlative study of AZD2281 in patients with recurrent breast and ovarian cancer in both BRCA inherited mutation carriers and non-carriers to identify objective response rate and to assess for early markers of activity and to assess correlative markers that may provide helpful information for subsequent clinical trials. Approximately 110 patients from 7 centers in Canada will be enrolled into this study

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Evaluated According to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Guidelines

Timeframe: Each patient with measurable disease at baseline was assessed for Objective Response from the sequence of RECIST scan data up to data cut-off, 26 March 2010. RECIST scans were performed every 8 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) from randomization.
