Conclusions
• Maintenance olaparib provided a statistically significant and clinically
  meaningful improvement in PFS to patients with a gBRCAm and metastatic
  pancreatic cancer whose disease had not progressed during platinum-based
  chemotherapy
• 23% of the patients had a PR/CR on olaparib. Of those patients, median
  duration of response was 24.9 months
• HRQoL was preserved with olaparib treatment and showed no difference
  between arms, with a trend to improvement in QoL over time in the olaparib
  treatment arm
• In the age of precision medicine: our results are the first from a phase III trial to
  validate a targeted treatment in a biomarker-selected population of patients
  with pancreatic cancer
• Once again highlighting the importance of gBRCAm testing in this setting
