Niraparib and dostarlimab for cancer with growing brain spots
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies whether the medicines niraparib and dostarlimab can slow advanced cancers that have active, growing brain metastases. It is meant for people whose brain tumors can be measured on MRI and who have had at least one previous treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have advanced cancer that has spread to the brain and is actively growing on an MRI.
- Your brain metastases are measurable (about 0.5–3 cm), and you do not have major brain nerve symptoms that are untreated.
- You have had at least one prior cancer treatment that targeted your cancer.
- You can have an MRI (you’re not unsafe with MRI contrast, and you can lie still); you also have a brain MRI with contrast capability.
- You have enough blood counts and organ function on recent lab tests.

This trial tests a combination of three drugs (datopotamab deruxtecan, carboplatin, and pembrolizumab) for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the brain and has not been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors in the brain and elsewhere.
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab (an immune therapy medicine) plus stereotactic radiosurgery (focused radiation) can better control brain metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink or slow growth of multiple brain spots with minimal treatment to surrounding tissue.
This trial tests whether combining brain radiation therapy with two medications—dalpiciclib (a cell-cycle inhibitor) and hormone therapy—can help women with hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to the brain. The goal is to shrink brain tumors and improve outcomes.
This Phase 2 study tests a treatment for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It’s designed for situations where the cancer can’t be safely cured with surgery or focused radiation.
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining dostarlimab (an immunotherapy) with niraparib (a cancer pill) can shrink advanced penile cancer and keep it from growing. It may help people whose cancer has progressed after limited prior treatments, and who have not had certain immune therapies before.
This trial tests whether a combination of three drugs (SHR-A1811, pyrotinib, and bevacizumab) can help people with advanced breast cancer that has spread to the brain. It aims to shrink brain tumors and stop them from growing.
