PURPOSE Homologous recombination repair gene mutations (HRRm) are common in urothelial carcinoma (UC), rendering tumor cells sensitive to poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibition. We assessed efficacy and safety of durvalumab (anti–programmed cell death ligand-1) plus olaparib (PARP inhibitor) in patients with metastatic UC (mUC). METHODS This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, phase II trial enrolled untreated, platinum-ineligible patients with mUC. Patients (N = 154) were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive durvalumab (1,500 mg intravenously once every 4 weeks) plus olaparib (300 mg orally, twice daily) or durvalumab plus placebo. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by investigators per RECIST version 1.1. Secondary end points included overall survival in all patients and PFS in patients with HRRm. RESULTS Overall, median PFS was 4.2 months (95% CI, 3.6 to 5.6) for durvalumab plus olaparib and 3.5 months (95% CI, 1.9 to 5.1) for durvalumab plus placebo (hazard ratio [HR], 0.94; 95% CI, 0.64 to 1.39; log-rank P value, .789). Median overall survival was 10.2 months (95% CI, 7.0 to 13.9) and 10.7 months (95% CI, 7.2 to 17.3), respectively (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.72 to 1.61). In the 20% of patients with HRRm, median PFS was 5.6 months (95% CI, 1.9 to 8.1) and 1.8 months (95% CI, 1.7 to 2.2), respectively (HR, 0.18; 95% CI, 0.06 to 0.47). Treatment-related grade 3 or 4 adverse events occurred in 18% and 9% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Adding olaparib to durvalumab did not improve survival outcomes in an unselected mUC population. Efficacy outcomes with durvalumab were similar to those reported for other anti–programmed cell death-1/programmed cell death ligand-1 agents. However, the results of secondary analyses suggest a potential role for PARP inhibition in patients with UC harboring HRRm.
