Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) and patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HBV or HCV RNA..

• - HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of potential pharmacokinetic interactions with study drugs.

• - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness or medical condition including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia requiring medications ((except chronic atrial fibrillation/flutter with controlled vascular rate), or psychiatric illness/social situations that may impair the patient s tolerance of study treatments and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for the study.

• - Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication based on primary investigator decision.

• - Pregnant women are excluded from this study because olaparib is a PARP inhibitor agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.

Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with durvalumab and olaparib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with study drugs.

Background: Targeted therapies designed for specific genetic alterations, known as cancer driver mutations, have changed the treatment paradigm in advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective in NSCLC with activating mutation in the EGFR. Although most patients achieve robust responses to EGFR TKIs with tumor shrinkage and symptomatic relief, drug resistance eventually develops in the majority of patients. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) transformation has been reported as one of the mechanisms of acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs. Several phase III trials showed durable response with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in the breast and ovarian cancer with BRCA mutation, a tumor suppressor gene involving homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, and several PARP inhibitors are now FDA approved for these cancers. Immune checkpoint blockade appears to be most effective against hypermutated tumors, suggesting that clinical responses correlate with an increased propensity to produce neoantigens. EGFR-mutated transformed SCLC is an aggressive cancer whose clinical course is similar to that of SCLC. There are no standard treatments for this disease and prospective studies have not been conducted to date. Immune checkpoint inhibitors alone are not effective for EGFR-mutated transformed SCLC. Analyses of EGFR transformed SCLC tumors suggest that these tumors are HRR deficient. Objective: To assess the efficacy of a combination of durvalumab and olaparib with respect to best overall response (BOR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria (RECIST 1.1) in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that transform to SCLC and other neuroendocrine carcinomas. Eligibility: Subjects with initial diagnosis of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and histologically or cytologically confirmed transformation to small cell/neuroendocrine tumors following treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Subjects should have received platinum-based chemotherapy with or without immunotherapy for small cell/neuroendocrine transformation or refused such therapy. Age >=18 years. Subjects must have measurable disease. ECOG performance status <= 2. Adequate organ function. Design: -This is an open label Phase II study evaluating the combination of durvalumab and olaparib. in participants with EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung carcinoma and histologically or cytologically confirmed transformation to small cell/neuroendocrine tumors following. treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Patients will be treated with durvalumab (1,500 mg), IV, every 28 days and olaparib (300. mg BID for total daily dose of 600 mg) in a 28-day cycles. Patients will be evaluated for toxicity every 4 weeks by CTCAE v5.0, and for response every 8 (+/-1) weeks by RECIST 1.1. Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
