   AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN, unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be ≤ 5 x ULN

   Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min (calculated using the Cockroft-Gault formula) for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal

   Patients not receiving anti-coagulant medication must have an INR of ≤ 1.5 and an aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN

   11. In the opinion of the Investigator, all other relevant medical conditions must be

   well-managed and stable for at least 28 days prior to first administration of study drug

   12. Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this

   study protocol

   13. Contraception: Each female subject of childbearing potential must agree to use a

   highly effective method of contraception (i.e., a method with less than 1% failure rate per year [e.g., sterilization, hormone implants, hormone injections, some intrauterine devices, vasectomized partner, or combined birth control pills]) from screening until 6 months after the last dose of EP0057 or Olaparib, whichever was taken last. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to EP0057 dosing on Day 1 of each Cycle (and must not be lactating). Each female subject will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has been surgically sterilised by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation/salpingectomy or has been postmenopausal for at least 1 year.

Cohort 1 patients (Phase 2A and 2B) must be/have:

14. Received no more than 1 prior line of therapy which must be platinum-based

chemotherapy

15. Primary Platinum Resistant after completion of first line platinum-based chemotherapy

Cohort 2 patients (Phase 2A and 2B) must have:

16. Received at least 1 prior line of treatment, 1 of which must be platinum-based

chemotherapy

17. Received a PARP inhibitor in the maintenance setting as their most recent treatment

following a confirmed response by RECIST1.1 (CR or PR) to the last regimen which must be a platinum-based chemotherapy, with maintenance of response by PARP inhibitor lasting ≥ 6 months, with subsequent confirmed disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria

1. Non-epithelial tumour of the ovary, the fallopian tube or the peritoneum
2. Ovarian tumours of low malignant potential or low grade
3. Prior treatment with a topoisomerase I inhibitor
4. Potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4
5. Concurrent treatment with Coumadin (Warfarin)
6. History of stroke, transient ischemic attack, or myocardial infarction, within 6 months prior to C1D1
7. Brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases that are symptomatic or untreated or that require current therapy. Brain imaging must not be older than 12 weeks (at the start of screening). Results with abnormal/unexpected findings of brain MRI should be discussed with the Medical Monitor as part of the screening process
8. Systemic anti-cancer therapy for the disease under study within 3 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, of the first dose of study drug

9. Ongoing toxic manifestations of previous treatments. Exceptions to this are alopecia or certain Grade 2 toxicities, which in the opinion of the Investigator should not exclude the patient

   10. Patients considered by the Investigator to be at a higher baseline risk for new onset

   cystitis

   11. Patients with a history, or features suggestive, of bone marrow dysplasia or

   myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)

   12. Confirmed QTcF > 470 msec on screening ECG or congenital long QT syndrome 13. Receiving an investigational anti-cancer treatment concurrently or within 3 weeks or 5

   half-lives of either the parent drug or any active metabolite, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug

   14. Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic conditions (e.g., severe hepatic

   impairment) or current unstable or uncompensated respiratory or cardiac conditions which makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the study or which could jeopardize compliance with the protocol

   required), active infection with SARS-CoV-2, hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) per institutional protocol.
