Study Summary
This trial tests a combo therapy of selenium and niraparib to treat BRCA-negative ovarian cancer that doesn't respond to standard treatment. Selenium blocks cancer growths, niraparib kills cancer cells.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with recurrent BRCA negative ovarian cancer that's resistant to platinum therapy. Participants must have had no more than four prior chemo treatments, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and agree to use effective birth control. They should have adequate organ function and blood counts, controlled blood pressure, and cannot have certain other medical conditions or recent treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and optimal dose of niraparib combined with selenium in treating patients whose ovarian cancer has returned and doesn't respond to platinum-based therapy. Niraparib is a PARP inhibitor which kills cancer cells; selenium may prevent growths from becoming cancerous.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions associated with chemotherapy such as fatigue, nausea, digestive issues, blood cell count changes (anemia, neutropenia), possible allergic reactions to components of the treatment regimen, among others.
