newton study (new dosing maintenance therapy ovarian cancer)

Conditions: Ovarian Cancer; Fallopian Tube Cancer; Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

Summary: this study evaluates whether the adoption of the radar dosing strategy could further reduce treatment related toxicities improving the safety profile of niraparib.

(i.e. systolic bp ≤ 140 mmhg and diastolic bp ≤ 90 mmhg) exclusion criteria: 1. patient simultaneously enrolled in any interventional clinical trial 2. invasive cancer other than ovarian cancer within 2 years (except basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has been definitely treated) 3. patient with known, symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal metastases 4. patient with immunocompromised status 5. patient with known active hepatic disease 6. prior treatment with a known parp inhibitor 7. patient who has had major surgery ≤ 3 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy and participant must have recovered from any surgical effects. 8. patient who has received investigational therapy ≤ 4 weeks, or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is shorter, prior initiating protocol therapy. 9. patient has had radiation therapy encompassing \>20% of the bone marrow within 2 weeks prior to day 1 of protocol therapy 10. patient has had any radiation therapy within 1 week prior to day 1 of protocol therapy. 11. patient with known hypersensitivity to niraparib components or excipients. 12. patient has received a transfusion (platelets or red blood cells) ≤ 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy. 13. patient has received colony stimulating factors (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, or recombinant erythropoietin) within 4 weeks prior initiating protocol therapy. 14. patient has had any known grade 3 or 4 anemia, neutropenia or thrombocytopenia due to prior chemotherapy that persisted \> 4 weeks and was related to the most recent treatment. 15. patient with any known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) or acute myeloid leukemia (aml) 16. patient with a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder. examples include, but are not limited to, nonmalignant systemic disease, active, uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 90 days) myocardial infarction, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits obtaining informed consent
