Olieni (Olaparib) 

What Olieni is and how it works

Olieni hard capsules contain the active substance Olaparib. Olaparib is a type of cancer medicine

called a PARP (poly [adenosine diphosphate-ribose] polymerase) inhibitor.

In patients with mutations (changes) in certain genes called BRCA (breast cancer gene), who are at risk

of developing some forms of cancer, PARP inhibitors are able to trigger the death of cancer cells by

blocking an enzyme that helps repair DNA.

What Olieni is used for

Olieni is used for the treatment of a type of ovarian cancer called “BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer”.

It is used after the cancer has responded to previous treatment with standard platinum-based

chemotherapy. A test is used to determine whether you have BRCA-mutated cancer.
