"OPAL Master Protocol Phase 1B/2 Multicohort Umbrella Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Novel Treatments and/or Combinations of Treatments in Participants with Ovarian Cancer (OPAL) OPAL-Supplement C Cohort C: Open-Label Phase 2, Randomized, Controlled Multicenter Study Comparing Niraparib Versus Platinum-Taxane Doublet Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Treatment in Participants with Homologous Recombination- Deficient Stage III/IV Ovarian Cancer"
EU CTIS ID: 2023-505097-16-00
What this study is testing
To evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant niraparib compared with neoadjuvant platinum-taxane doublet chemotherapy after 1 induction cycle of carboplatin-paclitaxel per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 in participants with confirmed homologous recombination-deficient (HRd) Stage III to IV ovarian cancer (OC)
- Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II)

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Participant must be female ≥18 years of age, able to understand the study procedures, and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent.
- Participant must have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
- Participant has newly diagnosed Stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics staging criteria.
- "Participants must provide sufficient tumor tissue at Prescreening and agree to undergo a central HRD tumor testing using a fully validated assay. The participants must be HRd as per central HRD tumor testing result for eligibility. o Participants with a documented germline breast cancer gene (BRCA)1/2 deleterious or suspected deleterious mutations by Sponsor’s permitted test (e.g., BRACAnalysis CDx) may be allowed to enroll prior to receiving the central test results, provided all inclusion criteria are met. However, tumor sample submitted by these participants will still be required for central HRD confirmation. The list of Sponsor’s permitted tests will be provided by the Sponsor. o All participants must agree to provide tumor tissue collected from IDS. o Participant must provide 2 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks (or slides if blocks are not available) with sufficient tumor content (as confirmed by the Sponsor’s designated central and/or testing laboratory) for central HRD testing at Prescreening and for exploratory biomarker testing at Prescreening or Screening. If sufficient tumor tissue is provided at Prescreening, participants do not need to provide additional tissue at Screening."
- Participant must have completed 1 run-in cycle of carboplatin-paclitaxel and not experienced disease progression after this treatment. Completion is defined as receiving ≥50% of the prescribed dose of therapy within 5 weeks.
- Participant must not have known contraindication or uncontrolled hypersensitivity to carboplatin and paclitaxel and their excipients and no known pre-existing conditions that would preclude treatment with these agents.
You likely can't join if
- Participant has low-grade or Grade 1 epithelial OC or mucinous, germ cell, transitional cell, carcinosarcoma, or undifferentiated tumor.
- Participant has contraindications to surgery.
- Participant has a bowel obstruction by clinical symptoms or computed tomography scan, subocclusive mesenteric disease, abdominal or gastrointestinal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess.
- Participant has any known history or current diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.
- Participant is at increased bleeding risk due to concurrent conditions (e.g., major injuries or major surgery within the past 28 days prior to the start of study treatment and/or history of hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or clinically significant hemorrhage within the past 3 months).
- Participant received prior treatment for high-grade non-mucinous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer (e.g., prior surgery, immunotherapy, anticancer therapy [with the exception of 1 run-in cycle of carboplatin-paclitaxel], or radiation therapy).
