This is an interventional treatment trial for Ovarian Cancer focused on measuring platinum resistent/refractory, ovarian cancer Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed informed consent before undertaking any study procedure.
• Female, age 18-70.
• Histologically confirmed FIGO stage III or IV non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
• No limitation of the BRCA mutation and HRD status.
• Platinum resistant or refractory recurrent disease.
• Subjects must have received at least 1 prior line of platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and no more than twice.
• Subjects must have measurable lesions with imaging evidence of disease progression (according to RECIST1.1 criteria); or without measurable/evaluable lesion (RECIST 1.1 criteria), but two consecutive cases of elevated CA125 > 2 times the upper limit of normal (> 70 U/ml) were detected.
• Life expectancy of more than 6 months.
• ECOG 0-1.

• Good organ function, including:

  • Bone marrow function: neutrophil count ≥1,500/µL, platelets ≥100,000/µL, hemoglobin ≥10 g/dL;
  • Hepatic function: total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or direct bilirubin ≤1.0 x ULN, AST and ALT ≤2.5 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case they must be ≤5 x ULN;
  • Renal function: serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.

• Has a negative serum pregnancy test within 3 days prior to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential and agrees to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from screening through 3 months after the last dose of study treatment, or is of non-childbearing potential. Non-childbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):

  • ≥45 years and <60 years of age and has not had menses for >1 year
  • ≥60 years of age
  • Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation.
• Is able to adhere to the protocol.
• Has recovered from previous chemotherapy induced toxic side effects to ≤ grade 1 CTCAE or basal level, apart from ≤ grade 2 CTCAE peripheral neuropathy or hair loss symptoms at steady state.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has a known hypersensitivity to the active or inactive ingredients of niraparib or compound which has similar chemical structure to niraparib.
• Has a known hypersensitivity to the active or inactive ingredients of etoposide or compound which has similar chemical structure to etoposide.
• prior PARP inhibitor therapy.
• Has symptomatic uncontrolled brain or leptomeningeal metastasis.
• Major surgery or chemotherapy within 3 weeks of starting the study or patient has not recovered from any effects of the surgery.
• Receive palliative radiotherapy encompassing > 20% of the bone marrow within 1 week of entering the study.
• Be diagnosed any invasive cancer other than ovarian cancer (apart from cured basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma) within 2 years prior to study enrolment.
• Previously or currently diagnosed of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
• Has other serious or uncontrolled disease.
• Has any disease, treatment and laboratory abnormality that may interfere the study results and affect the fully attendance of study. Or the subject is considered to be not suitable for the study by the investigator. Cannot receive platelet or red blood cell transfusion within 4 weeks of study drug administration.
• Pregnant, breastfeeding or expecting to conceive children during the study treatment period.
• Adjusted for QT interval (QTc) >470 msec.
