Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - 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).
  • - Participants who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • - Participants with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of niraparib.
  • - Participants with known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active hepatitis B or C.
  • - Participants with any other medical or psychological condition, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate, or participate in the study.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05406700
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This is a randomized, two-arm, open-label, phase 0 trial to assess intratumoral pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of niraparib in subjects with progressive IDH1 or IDH2 mutant glioma.

  • - This research study involves an experimental treatment called Niraparib.
  • - The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits.
  • - Participants will be randomized into one of two groups.
  • - Arm A: 1 cycle of Niraparib, followed by surgery, followed by up to 12 cycles of niraparib.
  • - Arm B: Surgery followed by up to 12 cycles of niraparib.
Participants will receive study treatment for up to 12 Cycles (1 cycle is 28 days long) and will be followed for up to 5 years after the study treatment. It is expected that about 16 people will take part in this research study. This research study is a Pilot Study to investigate the study drug's (niraparib) activity in tumor tissue. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved niraparib for this specific disease but it has been approved for other uses.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Arm A Treatment with Niraparib

Patients randomized to arm A will receive niraparib daily and undergo tumor resection after 28 days (+/- 7 days) of treatment. The participants in both arms will resume/start on treatment with niraparib 2 -4 weeks after surgery . Participants will continue treatment for up to 12 total cycles of treatment or until tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent

Active Comparator: Arm B No Treatment with Niraparib

Subjects in arm B will not receive niraparib prior to surgery. The participants in both arms will resume/start on treatment with niraparib 2 -4 weeks after surgery . Participants will continue treatment for up to 12 total cycles of treatment or until tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.

Interventions

Drug: - Niraparib

Oral, daily, dosage per protocol,4 Weeks

Drug: - Resection/Treatment with Niraparib

The participants in both arms will resume/start on treatment with niraparib 2 -4 weeks after surgery. Treatment can be held for an additional 28 days to allow for recovery from surgery, at the investigator's discretion. Participants will continue treatment for up to 12 total cycles of treatment or until tumor progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.
