Demographics

Female only

Prior therapy

Must have received: chemotherapy — metastatic

disease progression on at least one prior chemotherapy regimen in the metastatic setting

Must have received: endocrine therapy — metastatic

disease progression on at least one prior endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting or be considered inappropriate for endocrine therapy

Cannot have received: PARP inhibitor

Patients must not have received prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor

Cannot have received: platinum-based chemotherapy

Exception: patient must not have progressed while on platinum treatment (any setting), or within 6 months after end of treatment (neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant)

Patients may have received prior platinum based chemotherapy (0-1 prior platinum based therapy). However, the patient must not have progressed while on platinum treatment (any setting), or within 6 months after end of treatment (neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant).
