Niraparib maintenance for advanced ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the drug niraparib works as a maintenance treatment for women with advanced ovarian cancer that responded well to initial platinum-based chemotherapy. It may help keep the cancer from coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older with advanced high-grade ovarian cancer (stage III or IV).
- You must have had a tumor tissue sample available for testing.
- Your kidney and liver function must be within certain limits, and your blood pressure should be under control.
- You must be able to take pills by mouth and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had certain other types of ovarian cancer (like mucinous or low-grade) or a history of bone marrow problems.

This study looks at how well niraparib works as maintenance therapy for women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have already responded to initial chemotherapy. It aims to gather real-world data on the treatment's effectiveness and safety.
This trial tests whether a different starting dose (and adjustments) of niraparib can help people with advanced ovarian (or related) cancer stay on treatment without as many dose interruptions. It’s designed for people who have already finished first-line chemotherapy and whose cancer responded.
This trial is testing a second course of niraparib (a PARP inhibitor) after surgery for ovarian cancer that has come back in just a few spots. It aims to see if restarting niraparib can help keep the cancer from coming back again.
This trial tests whether taking niraparib (a maintenance anti-cancer pill) for a shorter time after 3 cycles of platinum chemotherapy works as well as taking it after 6 cycles. It is for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has been fully removed (no visible tumor) and is “HRD-positive,” meaning it has certain DNA repair weaknesses.
This trial tests a new maintenance therapy called niraparib for Black women who have finished initial treatment for advanced ovarian cancer and are in remission or partial response. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how your body processes it.
This trial studies whether niraparib works better when combined with bevacizumab after chemotherapy and surgery for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. If you qualify, you may help researchers find a treatment plan that controls the cancer for longer.
