About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to test alternative dosing of niraparib in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade, advanced stage ovarian cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What is the incidence of hematologic and other adverse events? What is the incidence of dose interruption, dose reduction and discontinuation? What is the length of time of progression-free survival at 24 months?

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Niraparib

    Drug

    Niraparib (Zejula) will be administered as an oral treatment once daily (continuously in a 28-day cycle). Niraparib will be administered in a dose escalation design where patients will start at a dose of 100 mg PO daily for the first two cycles (28-days each cycle), if tolerated, the dose will be increased to 200 mg PO daily for the third and fourth cycle.
