Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Carboplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Paclitaxel
Treatment: Drugs - Nab-paclitaxel
Treatment: Drugs - Olaparib
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Pembrolizumab + Carboplatin + Taxane + Olaparib - For the Induction Phase, participants receive 4 cycles:

Pembrolizumab 200 mg, intravenous (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle PLUS carboplatin PLUS a taxane (either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) for 4 cycles (21-day cycles). If the participant has a complete or partial response or stable disease to induction therapy, the participant is randomized to maintenance therapy.

For the Maintenance Phase, participants receive pembrolizumab IV on Day 1 of each 21-day for up to 31 cycles PLUS maintenance oral olaparib 300 mg twice daily. In the Maintenance Phase, the participant continues to receive maintenance olaparib until centrally verified progressive disease, physician decision or intolerable toxicity.

Active comparator: Pembrolizumab + Carboplatin + Taxane + Olaparib Placebo - For the Induction Phase, participants receive 4 cycles:

Pembrolizumab 200 mg, intravenous (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle PLUS carboplatin PLUS a taxane (either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) for 4 cycles (21-day cycles). If the participant has a complete or partial response or stable disease to induction therapy, the participant is randomized to maintenance therapy.

For the Maintenance Phase, participants receive pembrolizumab IV on Day 1 of each 21-day for up to 31 cycles PLUS matching maintenance olaparib placebo twice daily. In the Maintenance Phase, the participant continues to receive maintenance olaparib placebo until centrally verified progressive disease, physician decision or intolerable toxicity.
