Inclusion Criteria:
- - Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed disease from any
solid tumor.
- - Patients must be asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic from CNS metastases for at
least 7 days prior to initiation of study therapy.
Minimal symptoms is defined as not
requiring escalating doses of steroids or seizure medications for at least 7 days
prior to initiation of study therapy.
- - Participants must have measurable disease in the CNS, defined as at least one lesion
that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as ≥10 mm.
- - Participants must have progressive CNS lesions, as defined by one of the following:
- Patients may have multiple progressive CNS lesions, some of which have been
treated by SRS or surgery.
Patients are eligible if they have one or more
un-treated (by surgery or SRS) progressive lesions that is measurable.
- - Patients have measurable residual or progressive lesions after surgery.
- - Patients who have had prior WBRT and/or SRS are eligible but there needs to be
unequivocal evidence of progression of at least one lesion treated by radiation
(e.g. tissue diagnosis).
Biopsy can be considered for definitive diagnosis.
- - Patients who have previously been treated with systemic therapy for CNS
metastases are eligible.
- - Diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer or ovarian cancer, or any cancer histology
with the presence of alteration in BRCA1, BRCA2, PARP metabolism, DNA repair pathways
and HRD (homologous recombination deficiency) genes in the metastatic site as
described in Section 9.2 using a CLIA-certified assay.
Specific genetic changes in the
HRD signature or DNA repair pathway include mutations in ATM, BAP1, BARD1, BRCA1,
BRCA2, BRIP1, MRE11A, NBN, PALB2, RAD50, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD54B, RAD54L, ATR,
XRCC2, and XRCC3.
The toxicity of niraparib in children is unknown.
- - ECOG performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60, see Appendix A).
- - Participants must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- leukocytes ≥3,000/mcL.
- - absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/mcL.
- - platelets ≥100,000/mcL.
- - total bilirubin total bilirubin < 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal OR >
1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal allowed if direct bilirubin is within
normal range.
Patients with Gilberts will be eligible if total bili < 3.
- - AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal.
- - creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2 using the Cockcrof-Gault equation.
- - Female participant has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior
to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential and agrees to abstain from
activities that could result in pregnancy from screening through 180 days after the
last dose of study treatment, or is of nonchildbearing potential.
Nonchildbearing
potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):
- - ≥45 years of age and has not had menses for >1 year.
- - Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for <2 years without history of a
hysterectomy and oo phorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in
the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation.
- - Post-hysterectomy, post-bilateral oophorectomy, or post-tubal ligation.
Documented hysterectomy or oophorectomy must be confirmed with medical records of
the actual procedure or confirmed by an ultrasound. Tubal ligation must be
confirmed with medical records of the actual procedure, otherwise the patient
must be willing to use a highly effective barrier methods throughout the study,
starting with the screening visit through 180 days after the last dose of study
treatment. See Section 4.4 for a list of acceptable birth control methods.
Information must be captured appropriately within the site's source documents.
Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the established and preferred
contraception for the patient.
- - Participant must agree to not breastfeed during the study or for 30 days after the
last dose of study treatment.
- - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- - Tissue from a prior craniotomy or biopsy for clinical genetic sequencing (at least one
FFPE block or 15 unstained slides).
If CNS tissue is not available, extracranial
tissue can be used for sequencing. Patients previously assessed for genetic sequencing
who meet requirements of section 9.2.1 do not need to have additional tissue available
for prospective genetic screening.
- - Patients with progressive extracranial disease will not be excluded.
- - Participant must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 90 days after the
last dose of study treatment.
- - Stable dose of corticosteroids for at least 7 days.
- - Patients are allowed to remain on letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen,
fulvestrant, trastuzumab, bisphosphonates, denosumab or ovarian suppression therapy.
- - Ability to swallow capsules.
Exclusion Criteria:
- - Prior treatment with PARP inhibitor.
- - Participants who have had chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks
prior to entering the study or those who have continuing or unresolved ≥grade 2
adverse events due to agents administered more than 2 weeks earlier (except for
patients who will receive letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, tamoxifen, fulvestrant,
trastuzumab, bisphosphonates, denosumab or ovarian suppression therapy).
- - Participant must not have had major surgery ≤ 3 weeks prior to initiating protocol
therapy and participant must have recovered from any surgical effects.
- - Must not have 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.
- - Participant has had radiation therapy encompassing >20% of the bone marrow within 2
weeks; or any radiation therapy within 1 week prior to Day 1 of protocol therapy.
Participant must not have a known hypersensitivity to niraparib components or excipients.
- - Participant must not have received a transfusion (platelets or red blood cells) ≤ 4
weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy.
- - Participant must not have 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.
- - Participant 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.
- - Participant must not have any known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute
myeloid leukemia (AML).
- - Participant must not have a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, nonmalignant
systemic disease, or active, uncontrolled infection.
Examples include, but are not
limited to, 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.
- - Participant must not have had diagnosis, detection, or treatment of another type of
cancer ≤ 2 years prior to initiating protocol therapy (except basal or squamous cell
carcinoma of the skin and cervical cancer that has been definitively treated)
- Unable to undergo MRI scans.
