Alternative Dosing Of Niraparib To Decrease Dose Interruption In First Line Maintenance Treatment For Ovarian Cancer

Status:
Recruiting
Trial end date:
2027-09-01
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
Female
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test alternative dosing of niraparib in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade, advanced stage ovarian cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the incidence of hematologic and other adverse events? What is the incidence of dose interruption, dose reduction and discontinuation? What is the length of time of progression-free survival at 24 months?
Phase:
Phase 2
Accepts Healthy Volunteers?
No
