Recruiting PHASE2 Ovarian Cancer

New treatment option for Ovarian Cancer

Official title A Phase II Randomized, Open Label Non-inferiority Study of NiraParib Maintenance After 3 vs. 6 Cycles of Platinum-based Chemotherapy in completeLy debUlked Advanced HRDpositive High-grade Ovarian Cancer patientS in First Line Therapy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05460000

What this study is testing

What is 3 cycles chemotherapy instead of 6 cycles chemotherapy?

3 cycles chemotherapy instead of 6 cycles chemotherapy is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for ovarian cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
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.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
