Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Written informed consent and obtained from the subject prior to performing anyprotocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.

  2. Female patient, age ≥ 18 years.

  3. FIGO Stage III-IV high-grade ovarian cancer (all histological types, except mucinoushistology)

  4. Complete primary debulked patients (without any macroscopic residuals), confirmed byCT-Scan postoperatively.

  5. Patients must have formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples available fromthe primary cancer for central NGS analysis and must be HRDpositive defined asBRCAmut independent of NOGGO GIS Score OR NOGGO GIS Score >83 independent of BRCAstatus, based on these results.

  6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.

  7. Patients must be able to take oral medications.

  8. Synchronous and secondary malignancies are allowed if the prognosis of the ovariancancer is not affected. The investigator must contact the medical monitoring teambefore enrolling the patient in the clinical trial.

  9. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function:

  10. Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL independent of transfusion ≤ 14 days prior to screeninghemoglobin assessment

  11. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

  12. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L

  13. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); < 2 × ULN ifhyperbilirubinemia is due to Gilbert's syndrome

  14. Aspartate aminotransferase /Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (ASAT/SGOT)) and Alanine aminotransferase /Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (ALAT/SGPT)) ≤ 2,5 x ULN

  15. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional ULN and creatinine clearance > 30mL/min.

  16. Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearingpotential prior to the first dose of study treatment. Female patients ofchildbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result ≤3 daysprior to administration of the first dose of study treatment.

Patients are considered to be of childbearing potential unless 1 of the following applies:

  1. Considered to be permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy,bilateral salpingectomy, and/or bilateral oophorectomy; or

  2. Is postmenopausal, defined as no menses for at least 12 months without analternative medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levelconsistently in the postmenopausal range (30 mIU/mL or higher) may be used toconfirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonalreplacement therapy; however, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a singleFSH measurement is insufficient to confirm a postmenopausal state.

Female patients of reproductive potential must practice highly effective methods (failure rate < 1% per year) of contraception with their partners, if of reproductive potential, during treatment and for 6 months following the last dose of chemotherapy or the last dose of niraparib, whichever occurs later, or longer if requested by local authorities. Highly effective contraception includes: Ongoing use of progesterone only injectable or implantable contraceptives; Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS); Bilateral tubal occlusion; Sexual abstinence as defined as complete or true abstinence, acceptable only when it is the usual and preferred lifestyle of the patient; periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable; or Sterilization of the male partner, with appropriate post-vasectomy documentation of absence of sperm in ejaculate.

Exclusion

  1. Non-epithelial origin of the ovary, the fallopian tube or the peritoneum (i.e., germcell tumors) and Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (e.g., borderlinetumors), or mucinous carcinoma of the ovary.

  2. Low-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer.

  3. Has known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the excipients of anyof the study drugs.

  5. Patients posttransplant, including previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant.

  6. Has undergone interval debulking of the tumor.

  7. Has received any anti-cancer therapy for ovarian cancer other than primary surgery.

  8. Administration of other simultaneous chemotherapy drugs, any other anti-cancertherapy or anti-neoplastic hormonal therapy, or simultaneous radiotherapy during thetrial treatment period (hormonal replacement therapy is permitted as are steroidalantiemetics).

  9. Has received prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor or has participated in a trialwhere any treatment arm included the administration of a PARP inhibitor.

  10. Bevacizumab is planned to be given together with first line chemotherapy or asmaintenance.

  11. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease:

  12. Cerebrovascular accident or myocardial infarction or unstable angina ≤6 monthsbefore start of study treatment

  13. Severe cardiac arrhythmia (recent event or active or uncontrolled)

  14. New York Heart Association grade ≥2 congestive heart failure

  15. Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and/ordiastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg), or history of hypertensive crisis, orhypertensive encephalopathy or posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome

  16. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack ≤6 months before start of studytreatment

  17. Coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft ≤6 months before start of studytreatment

  18. Deep vein thrombosis or thromboembolic events ≤1 month before start of studytreatment

  24. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product immediatelyprior to randomization. Earliest time point for randomization is after the timerequired for the investigational product to undergo 5 half-lives has passed.

  25. Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection (known HIV1/HIV2antibodies positive) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related illness.

Study Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, open label study including patients with advanced (FIGO stage IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, or IV of the 2014 FIGO classification) 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.

The main scope of the trial is 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.

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 3 cycles carboplatin + paclitaxel maintenance therapy with niraparib (Arm A) or 6 cycles carboplatin + paclitaxel and maintenance therapy with niraparib (Arm B). Randomization will be performed according to the results of the NGS analysis and stratified either to BRCAm independent of LOH or LOHhigh/ BRCAwt, FIGO stage III vs. IV, and countries. In both of the arms, tumor assessments (CT or MRI) will be performed 9-12 weeks after the start of therapy (after 3rd cycle of chemotherapy), after another 9-12 weeks (during maintenance therapy in Arm A and after the 6th cycle of chemotherapy in Arm B) and every 6 months thereafter. The tumor marker CA-125 will be assessed every 12 weeks in both arms.

During chemotherapy treatment, clinical visits (blood cell counts, detection of toxicity) occur at least every 3 weeks (depending on the chemotherapy regimen). Serum pregnancy tests for WOCBP occur at least every 4 weeks. During maintenance therapy with niraparib, clinical visits (blood cell counts, detection of toxicity) occur every 4 weeks for the first 11 months and every 12 weeks thereafter. Serum pregnancy tests for WOCBP occur at least every 4 weeks. Complete physical examinations will take place every 12 weeks. Safety will be monitored continuously by careful monitoring of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

About 60 sites in 6 European countries will participate in this study to recruit 640 patients in 36 months.
