Study Summary

This trial will test the safety and efficacy of niraparib, an oral inhibitor of PARP-1 and PARP-2, when combined with bevacizumab as maintenance treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who've responded to initial chemotherapy and can take oral meds. They must have had surgery, be able to do surveys, and use birth control if of childbearing potential. Exclusions include digestive issues affecting drug absorption, certain blood diseases, prior PARP inhibitor treatment, other recent cancers, serious health problems unrelated to cancer or active infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of niraparib (a PARP inhibitor) combined with bevacizumab as a maintenance therapy in patients after successful first-line chemo. Participants will receive this combo for up to three years or until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include high blood pressure from bevacizumab; fatigue; nausea; bone marrow suppression leading to anemia or infection risks from niraparib; heart rhythm changes; liver issues; increased risk of bleeding due to VEGF inhibitors.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Participants receiving niraparib+ bevacizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be administered bevacizumab 15 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) via a 30 minute (min) intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Niraparib will be administered orally once a day continuously throughout each 21-day cycle (84-day cycle after amendment 2). On Day 1 of each cycle, niraparib will be administered upon completion of bevacizumab infusion. The starting dose of niraparib will be based on the participant's Baseline actual body weight or platelet count.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What condition is Niraparib usually utilized to address?

"Patients with malignant growths, recurrent platinum-sensitive primary peritoneal cancer, and Stage IV epithelial ovarian cancer after initial surgical excision can benefit from Niraparib therapy."

Answered by AI

Has Niraparib been authorized by the Food and Drug Administration?

"Niraparib's safety has been attested to through Phase 2 trials, thus it earned a score of 2 on our scale. However, the efficacy of this treatment has yet to be sufficiently demonstrated."

Answered by AI

Could you elucidate on other experiments that have included Niraparib?

"Back in 2004, Niraparib was first investigated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge (Follow Up Only). Since then, 1027 clinical trials have been concluded. 446 separate studies are still ongoing, with a considerable amount of them centered around Englewood, New jersey."

Answered by AI

What are the core goals this clinical trial is trying to achieve?

"The primary outcome of this 18 month trial will be the Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate. Secondary metrics include Number of participants with abnormal vital signs, Change from Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Ovarian Symptom Index (FOSI) - Patient Reported Outcome (PRO), and finally, Number of participants with dose reduction due to Adverse Events."

Answered by AI

How many healthcare establishments are administering this research in the metropolis?

"The trial is currently operational in 28 medical centres - including Englewood, Lebanon and Providence - so participants are encouraged to choose the site that's closest to them. This will help reduce commuting needs if they decide to join."

Answered by AI

How much interest has been generated in this research endeavor?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial is not presently accepting candidates. First posted on December 12th 2017, the study has since been edited for the last time on November 23rd 2021. However, if you are looking to join a medical trial related to ovarian cancer there are currently 535 active studies and 446 trials focusing on Niraparib that require participants."

Answered by AI

Is recruitment of participants still underway for this experiment?

"Currently, this clinical trial is not actively recruiting participants. After first being posted on December 12th 2017 and most recently updated on November 23rd 2022, there are no open roles available at the moment. However, if you're interested in other studies related to ovarian cancer or Niraparib treatments specifically, 535 and 446 trials respectively are seeking new enrolments."
