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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 3 cycles chemotherapy instead of 6 cycles chemotherapy

    Drug

    We 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

    Drug

    Standard chemotherapy as comparator

Treatment groups

640 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Arm A (3 cycles of chemotherapy + maintenance therapy with niraparib)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Arm B (6 cycles of chemotherapy + maintenance therapy with niraparib)Active comparator 1 intervention
