Olaparid Clinical Trial
Is anyone on the clinical trial for Olaparid. I just had my first recurrence after 2 years, almost to the day. I have been offered the chance to take part in the Clinical Trial for Olaparid, and I just want to know of anyone else in this trial and how they are doing with it.

Hi @lakelady3 - so hear of your recurrence. I hope you find lots of support here as there are several ladies on the drug or are participating in the trial. I'll also private message you.
It is a bit difficult to find - Here is the link to the details of one of the trials for those that are interested.

Hi @lakelady3 and @Flowergirl . There is a discussion already started about this drug but you may not have recognized the name - Lynparza. Olaparib is the technical name for the drug and Lynparza is the name of the drug that is now being used for marketing purposes - it does get confusing! I have edited the title of this discussion to include both names of the drug to help people like yourself find the information you are looking for. Try this link

We also have a guide for women dealing with a recurrence called, Still By Your Side. You can order it here:

Hope this helps!
