About this trial
Multicenter, randomized, open label study including patients with advanced HRDpositive high-grade ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer and clear cell carcinoma of the ovary with no residual tumor mass following primary tumor debulking to determine recurrence free survival in patients treated with 3 cycles carboplatin + paclitaxel and maintenance therapy with niraparib vs. 6 cycles carboplatin + paclitaxel and maintenance therapy with niraparib.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Written informed consent and obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
Female patient, age ≥ 18 years.
FIGO Stage III-IV high-grade ovarian cancer (all histological types, except mucinous histology)
Complete primary debulked patients (without any macroscopic residuals), confirmed by CT-Scan postoperatively.
Disqualifiers
Non-epithelial origin of the ovary, the fallopian tube or the peritoneum (i.e., germ cell tumors) and Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (e.g., borderline tumors), or mucinous carcinoma of the ovary.
Low-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer.
Has known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the excipients of any of the study drugs.
Has known hypersensitivity to platin-containing compounds other than carboplatin.
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
3 cycles chemotherapy instead of 6 cycles chemotherapy
DrugWe hypothesise that recurrence free survival in patients receiving 3 cycles of chemotherapy followed by maintenance with niraparib is not inferior to 6 cycles of chemotherapy followed by niraparib in advanced HRDpositive high-grade ovarian cancer patients with no residual tumor mass following primary tumor debulking.
6 cycles chemotherapy
DrugStandard chemotherapy as comparator
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
RFS
Recurrence free survival, defined as time from treatment randomization to the earliest date of assessment of first relapse or death by any cause
Secondary outcomes
Overall survival (OS)
time to event and rate at 3 and 5 years
TFST
Time to first subsequent treatment
TWIST (Time Without Symptoms of disease progression or Toxicity of treatment)
at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months
PFS2
Time from randomization until the date of second objective disease progression or death by any cause
