    6. Patients must have creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≥51 mL/min estimated or measured using standard methodology at the investigating centre (i.e. Cockcroft-

Gault, MDRD, CK-EPI, EDTA or 24 hr urine):

Exclusion Criteria:

\-

Patients should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

1. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal or non hormonal targeted therapy within 21 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 is not permitted. Palliative radiotherapy must have been completed 21 or more days before Cycle 1 Day 1. The patient can receive a stable dose of bisphosphonates or denosumab for bone metastases, before and during the study as long as these were started at least 5 days prior to study treatment.
2. More than 2 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for metastatic disease.

   1. Prior treatments with hormonal therapy and non hormonal targeted therapy are allowed and not counted as a prior line of cytotoxic chemotherapy.
   2. For the purposes of this protocol, the combination of "an aromatase inhibitor and everolimus" or "a hormonal therapy and CDK4/6 inhibitor" is not considered cytotoxic chemotherapy.
   3. Treatment with biologics will not be considered as prior line of therapy.
   4. Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy (except for palliative reasons) within 3 weeks prior to study treatment
3. Previous treatment with a PARP inhibitor (including olaparib)
4. The minimum washout period for immune checkpoint blockade therapy shall be 21 days.
5. Patients with MDS/AML or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.
6. Patients with second primary cancer, EXCEPTIONS: adequately treated non melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), stage 1 grade 1 endometrial carcinoma, or other solid tumours curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years prior to study entry (including lymphomas \[without bone marrow involvement\]).
7. Mean resting corrected QTc interval using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) \>470 msec/female patients and \>450 msec for male patients (as calculated per institutional standards) obtained from 3 ECGs performed 2-5 minutes apart at study entry, or congenital long QT syndrome.
8. Any of the following cardiac diseases currently or within the last 6 months

   1. Unstable angina pectoris
   2. Congestive heart failure ≥ Class 2 as defined by the New York Heart Association
   3. Acute myocardial infarction
   4. Conduction abnormality not controlled with pacemaker or medication (patients with a conduction abnormality controlled with pacemaker or medication at the time of screening are eligible)
   5. Significant ventricular or supraventricular arrhythmias (patients with chronic rate- controlled atrial fibrillation in the absence of other cardiac abnormalities are eligible)
9. Concomitant use of known strong cytochrome P (CYP) 3A inhibitors (eg. itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (eg.

   ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The required washout period prior to starting study treatment is 2 weeks.
