About this study

Official title: Niraparib Maintenance in Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer at Neoadjuvant Setting - a Phase 2, Single-arm Trial (NEOPRIMA Trial)

This study aims to evaluate the effects of niraparib in those who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent interval debulking surgery, with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and would also explore if there are any biomarkers, other than BRCA / HRD status and platinum sensitivity, that may help to identify those who may benefit from PARPi especially those who are HRD negative.

Read the detailed description

Despite cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, about 70% of patients with advanced ovarian cancer recur in the first 2 - 3 years. PARPi has been shown to be prolong survival in primary advanced ovarian cancer. However its role in neoadjuvant setting has not been fully evaluated.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PFS rate at 18 months

    Proportion of patients who are progression-free at 18 months according to the RECIST 1.1

    Measured: up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PFS by the RECIST 1.1

    The time from first dose of trial medication to first documentation of objective tumor progression (PD) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. Overall survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from first dose of trial medication to date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: up to 5 years

  3. OS rate at 18 months

    Proportion of patients who are alive at 18 months

    Measured: up to 18 months

  4. Change of biomarkers

    Expression levels of markers like Ki-67 before and after chemotherapy

    Measured: up to 18 months

  5. Treatment-related adverse events

    Incidence of treatment-related adverse events classified by CTCAE version 5.0

    Measured: up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Niraparib in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS rate at 18 months (time frame: up to 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Dec 2023.
