Pembrolizumab and Olaparib Treatment for Relapsed or Refractory Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

All trial interventions will be administered on an outpatient basis where possible.

Pembrolizumab 200 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. Sites should make every effort to target infusion timing to be as close to 30 minutes as possible. However, given the variability of infusion pumps from site to site, a window of -5 minutes and +10 minutes is permitted (i.e., infusion time is 30 minutes: -5 min/+10 min). Preparation of the pembrolizumab infusion fluid and administration of infusion solution will follow standard institutional practice.

Olaparib will be administered at a dose of 300 mg (two 150-mg tablets) PO bid, for a total daily dose of 600 mg. Olaparib treatment should begin on the same day as Cycle 1, Day 1 of pembrolizumab treatment, with the first dose administered after the pembrolizumab IV infusion and the second dose approximately 12 hours later.

Subsequent Olaparib treatments will be taken PO bid at approximately the same time in the morning and evening on a continuous daily dosing schedule. Capsules/tablets should be taken approximately 12 hours apart and may be taken in relationship to food as per local prescribing information. Capsules/tablets must be swallowed whole and should not be chewed, dissolved, or opened. Capsules that appear deformed or show evidence of leakage should not be taken. Subjects must be instructed that if they miss a dose or vomit any time after taking a dose, they should take their next dose at its scheduled time. Subjects should not take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose. Subjects must be instructed to record all doses (missed or vomited doses) in a dosing diary supplied by the site. Subjects should avoid eating grapefruit or Seville oranges or drinking grapefruit juice or Seville orange juice while taking Olaparib.

The mandatory Safety Follow-Up Visit should be conducted approximately 30 days after the last dose of study intervention or before the initiation of a new anti-cancer treatment, whichever comes first.

Participants who complete the protocol-required cycles of study intervention of who discontinue study intervention for a reason other than disease progression will begin the Efficacy Follow-Up Phase and should be assessed every 12 weeks (± 7 days) by radiologic imaging to monitor disease status. Every effort should be made to collect information regarding disease status until the start of new anti-cancer therapy, disease progression, death, end of the study or if the participant begins retreatment with Pembrolizumab. Participants who completed all efficacy assessments and/or will not have further efficacy assessments must enter the Survival Follow-up Phase.

Participant survival follow-up status will be assessed approximately every 12 weeks to assess for survival status until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study, whichever occurs first.

Inclusion criteria

• Male/female participants who are at least 21 years of age on the day of signing informed consent with histologically or cytologically-confirmed diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), including angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), peripheral T-cell lymphoma of T-follicular helper cell derivation (PTCL-TFH), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), NK/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL), gamma-delta T cell lymphoma (GDTL), enteropathy associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), subcutaneous panniculitis like T-cell lymphoma, and PTCL, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) will be enrolled in this study.
• Male participants:

A male participant must agree to use a contraception as detailed in Appendix 3 of this protocol during the treatment period and for at least the time needed to eliminate the study intervention (180 days for Olaparib; no requirement for pembrolizumab) after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period.

• A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (see Appendix 3), not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: a. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Appendix 3 OR b. A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 3 during the treatment period and for at least the time needed to eliminate the study intervention (180 days for Olaparib; 120 days for pembrolizumab) after the last dose of study treatment.
• Participants must have progressed on treatment with at least one prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents. These may include an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb administered either as monotherapy or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies. PD-1 treatment progression is defined by meeting all of the following criteria:

• Has received at least 2 doses of an approved anti-PD-1/L1 mAb.
• Has demonstrated disease progression after anti-PD-1/L1 as defined by Cheson response criteria. The initial evidence of PD is to be confirmed by a second assessment no less than 4 weeks from the date of the first documented disease progression, in the absence of rapid clinical progression (as defined in 4.c).
• Progressive disease has been documented within 12 weeks from the last dose of anti-PD-1/L1 mAb.

• Progressive disease is determined according to Cheson response criteria.
• This determination is made by the investigator. Once disease progression is confirmed, the initial date of disease progression documentation will be considered the date of disease progression.

Progression on other systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents is defined by radiographic disease progression based on Cheson response criteria.

• The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the trial.
• Have measurable disease based on Cheson criteria. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
• Archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained [core, incisional or excisional] biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated has been provided. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks are preferred to slides. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue.
• Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. Evaluation of ECOG is to be performed within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Have adequate organ function as defined in the following. Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of study intervention.

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)≥500/μL
• Platelets ≥25 000/μL
