Trial Description

This phase II trial studies how well adavosertib with or without olaparib work in treating
patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back
(recurrent). Adavosertib and olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of
the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has read and understands the informed consent form (ICF) and has given written
informed consent prior to any study procedures.

2. Histologically confirmed recurrent epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or
fallopian tube cancer for which there is no known or established treatment available
with curative intent.

3. Have demonstrated progressive disease while taking a licensed PARP inhibitor as a
previous therapy or within 6 months of completing PARP inhibitor therapy. Response to
prior PARPi is not required. However, there must be documented evidence of progression
prior to study entry.

4. Prior PARP therapy could have been administered as either treatment for recurrent
disease or as maintenance following prior treatment.

5. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1.

6. Adequate archived primary or metastatic tumor tissue collected before the prior PARP
therapy.

study drug(s) initiation:

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/μL

2. Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥10 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days

3. Platelets ≥100,000/μL with no platelet transfusion in the past 28 days

4. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate Transaminase (AST) ≤2.5 x upper limit of

treatment (see Appendix E).Predicted life expectancy ≥16 weeks.

10. Must be ≥18 years of age.

11. Willingness and ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures.

Inclusion criteria for ceralasertib arm only:

1. Must have platinum-sensitive disease, defined as no clinical or radiographic evidence
of disease recurrence for > 6 months (or 180 days) after last receipt of platinum-
based therapy. Patients must have had response (complete or partial) to their prior
line of platinum therapy and cannot have had progression through prior platinum-based
therapy.

2. Have demonstrated progressive disease while taking a licensed PARP inhibitor as a
previous therapy, used in the maintenance or treatment setting.

3. Are germline or somatic BRCA mutant or HRD positive by a licensed test prior to
enrollment.

4. Patient must have demonstrated clinical benefit from prior PARPi treatment. Clinical
benefit after >1 line of chemotherapy is defined as a minimum duration of continuous
treatment with the PARP inhibitor of 6 months in the treatment or maintenance setting
(which may or may not be associated with response by CA-125 or imaging). If the PARP
inhibitor is received as maintenance following first-line chemotherapy, the minimum
duration of continuous treatment with the PARP inhibitor is 12 months

5. Patients who discontinue the PARP inhibitor for any reasons other than progression are
ineligible

6. If the prior PARP inhibitor used was olaparib, then patients must have received
treatment without significant toxicity or the need for a permanent dose reduction.

7. Documented evidence of progression prior to study entry.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Prior Treatment:

1. PARP inhibitor: Most oral PARP inhibitors (the immediate prior therapy) have a
half- life for which 5 half-lives is ≤21 days. Thus, a minimum of 10 days between
termination of the prior treatment and administration of olaparib and/or AZD1775
treatment is required. In the event a PARP inhibitor has a longer half-life where
5 half-lives are ≥ 21 days, treatment of olaparib and/or AZD1775 should not begin
for 5 half-lives or at least 21 days, whichever is shorter.

2. Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at
least one week prior to registration (study enrollment). Continuation of hormone
replacement therapy is permitted.

3. Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including any systemic
immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to first dose
of study drug (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C).

Cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal or non-hormonal targeted therapy within 21 days of
Cycle 1 Day 1 is not permitted (a duration of 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is
shorter) is required for patients treated with non-cytotoxic drugs). The minimum
washout period for immunotherapy is 42 days. Palliative radiotherapy must have been
completed 21or more days before Cycle 1 Day 1 (with the exception of patients
receiving radiation to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of
radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment). The patient can
receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates or denosumab for bone metastases, before and
during the study as long as these were started at least 5 days prior to the study
treatment. Receiving, or having received during the 14 days prior to first dose,
corticosteroids (at a dose > 10 mg prednisone/day or equivalent) for any reason.

2. Major surgical procedures ≤28 days of beginning study treatment, or minor surgical
procedures ≤7 days. No waiting period required following port-a-cath placement.

3. Grade >1 toxicity from prior therapy (except alopecia or anorexia).

4. Patient has an inability to swallow oral medications and patients with
gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study
medication. Note: Patient may not have a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)
tube or be receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Patient has refractory nausea
and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases or previous significant bowel
resection, with clinically significant sequelae that would preclude adequate
absorption of the study medication.

5. Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases. Patients with a history of
treated central nervous system (CNS) metastases are eligible provided they meet all of
the following criteria: disease outside the CNS is present, no clinical evidence of
progression since completion of CNS-directed therapy, minimum 3 weeks between
completion of radiotherapy and Cycle 1 Day 1 and recovery from significant (Grade ≥ 3)
acute toxicity with no ongoing requirement for >10 mg of prednisolone per day or an
equivalent dose of other corticosteroid. If on corticosteroids, the patient should be
receiving a stable dose of corticosteroids, started at least 4 weeks prior to
treatment.

6. Patient has had a prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products known to be
sensitive to CYP3A4 substrates or CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index,
or to be moderate to strong inhibitors/inducers of CYP3A4 which cannot be discontinued
2 weeks prior to Day -3 of dosing and withheld throughout the study until 2 weeks
after the last dose of study drug. Co- administration of aprepitant or fosaprepitant
during this study is prohibited (see Appendix G).

7. The use of herbal supplements or 'folk remedies' (and medications and foods that
significantly modulate CYP3A activity) should be discouraged. These herbal medications
include but are not limited to: St. John's wort, kava, ephedra (mahung), gingko
biloba, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), yohimbe, saw palmetto and ginseng. Patients
should stop using herbal medications 7 days prior to first dose of study treatment. If
deemed necessary, such products may be administered with caution and the reason for
use documented in the CRF.

8. Any known hypersensitivity or contraindication to the components of the study drugs
AZD1775, ceralasertib or olaparib.

9. Any of the following cardiac diseases currently or within the last 6 months as defined
by New York Heart Association (NYHA) ≥ Class 2 (see Appendix F).

rate- controlled atrial fibrillation in the absence of other cardiac
abnormalities are eligible)

10. AZD1775 should not be given to patients who have a history of Torsades de pointes
unless all risk factors that contributed to Torsades have been corrected. AZD1775 has
not been studied in patients with ventricular arrhythmias or recent myocardial
infarction.

11. Participants with a mean resting corrected QT interval (QTc) ≥ 480msec at study entry,
as calculated by the Frederica formula (QTcF) by institutional standards obtained from
an electrocardiogram (ECG) or congenital long QT syndrome. (Note: if one ECG
demonstrates a QTcF >480 msec, then a mean QTcF of ≤ 480 msec obtained from 3 ECGs 2-5
minutes apart is required at study entry.

12. Any factors that increase the risk of QTc prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events
such as congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial
infarction, hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, immediate family history of
