Testing the Combination of Olaparib and Durvalumab, Cediranib and Durvalumab, Olaparib and Capivasertib, and Cediranib Alone in Recurrent or Refractory Endometrial Cancer Following the Earlier Phase of the Study That Tested Olaparib and Cediranib in Comparison to Cediranib Alone, and Olaparib Alone

Prior treatment

• Prior enrollment into a clinical trial including cediranib or olaparib; Note: prior bevacizumab is not an exclusion criterion.
• Prior enrollment into a clinical trial including cediranib, olaparib, AZD5363 (capivasertib), durvalumab (MEDI4736), or the combination of lenvatinib and pembrolizumab. Note: Prior bevacizumab or single-agent immune checkpoint blockade, excluding durvalumab (MEDI4736), is not an exclusion criterion.
• Prior chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, or investigational agents within 4 weeks.
• More than one prior line of treatment with immune checkpoint blockade therapy.
• Concomitant use of known strong cytochrome (CYP) 3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g. ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil); the required washout period prior to starting study treatments is 2 weeks for strong inhibitors, and at least 1 week for moderate inhibitors.
• Pregnant women are excluded from this study because cediranib and olaparib are agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk of adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with cediranib and olaparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with cediranib or olaparib; these potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study; for women of childbearing capacity a negative pregnancy test is required.
• Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions between many anti-HIV drugs and cediranib, olaparib, and/or AZD5363 (capivasertib); in addition, these individuals are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.
• Prior history of stroke or transient ischemic attack within the last 6 months.

• Central nervous system metastases:
  • Symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases requiring corticosteroid treatment; history of spinal cord compression unless after definitive treatment the patient has clinically stable disease (SD) for at least 28 days prior to starting IPs; in the absence of these features and in an asymptomatic patient a scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required.

  • Premedication with steroids for CT scan contrast is allowed.
  • Inhaled or topical corticosteroids are allowed.

  • The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids may be approved after consultation with the study chair.

Other illness

• History of gastrointestinal perforation; patients with a history of abdominal fistula will be considered eligible if the fistula was surgically repaired or has healed, there has been no evidence of fistula for at least 6 months, and patient is deemed to be at low risk of recurrent fistula.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to known ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
• Known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection on antiviral treatment.
• Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.

• Pneumonitis or moderate-severe pre-existing pulmonary disease.
• Patients with active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment including systemic corticosteroids. This includes, but is not limited to, patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, myasthenia gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as SLE, connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease.
• Patients with vitiligo, endocrine deficiencies including type I diabetes mellitus, thyroiditis managed with replacement hormones including physiologic corticosteroids are eligible.
• Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other arthropathies, Sjogren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with topical medication and patients with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies should be evaluated for the presence of target organ involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible.
