Study Summary
This trial will test the effectiveness of niraparib against unresectable and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma with DDR mutations. It will also study the safety and side-effects of niraparib.
Who is the study for?
Adults with certain types of soft tissue or uterine sarcoma that can't be surgically removed and have spread, who've tried at least one other cancer treatment. They must have specific genetic changes in their tumor DNA related to the DDR pathway, measurable disease, good organ function, and a performance status indicating they can care for themselves. Women must not be pregnant and agree to contraception; men also need to use birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Niraparib's effectiveness on advanced soft tissue sarcomas with DDR mutations. It aims to find out if it's safe with mild side effects and if some genetic alterations respond better than others. Participants will receive Niraparib as the study drug.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed here, common side effects of Niraparib may include nausea, fatigue, blood cell count issues (like anemia), heart palpitations, insomnia, mouth sores, muscle pain or weakness. Each person might experience these differently.
