Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA) Subgroup: Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS) Assessed by Investigator
From date of randomization (Day -3 to Day 1) up to approximately 49 months

rPFS: time interval from date of randomization to first date of radiographic progression as assessed by investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. rPFS was determined by: (1) progression of soft tissue lesions measured by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1; (2) progression of bone lesions observed by bone scan per prostate cancer working group 3 (PCWG3) criteria: bone progression was confirmed by subsequent scan greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 weeks later. Week 8 scan was baseline to which all subsequent scans were compared to determine progression. A confirmatory scan with \>=2 new lesions indicated progression; A confirmatory scan not showing \>=2 new lesions means no progression. If Week 8 scan shows \<2 new bone lesions compared to baseline, first scan with \>=2 new lesions compared to Week 8 scan indicated progression, when confirmed by a subsequent scan \>=6 weeks later.

Cohort 1: Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Up to 32 months

As per BICR, rPFS is time interval from the date of randomization to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurred first. Radiographic progression was determined by: (1) progression of soft tissue lesions measured by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1; (2) Progression of bone lesions observed by bone scan based on prostate cancer working group 3 (PCWG3) criteria.

Week 8 scan was baseline to which all subsequent scans were compared to determine progression. Confirmatory scan \>=2 new lesions indicate progression; scan does not show \>=2 new lesions means no progression. If Week 8 scan less than (\<) 2 new bone lesions compared to baseline, the initial scan \>=2 new lesions compared to Week 8 scan indicates progression if confirmed by subsequent scan \>=6 weeks later.

Frequently asked questions about Niraparib

What is niraparib used for in castration-resistant prostate cancer?

Niraparib is being developed for castration-resistant prostatic cancer and prostatic neoplasms, including metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It is studied both as a single agent and in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone. It is an investigational therapy in Phase 3 development and is not described as approved for these prostate cancer indications.

What does niraparib target?

Niraparib targets PARP1 and PARP2, two poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes. It acts as an inhibitor of these targets. By inhibiting PARP1 and PARP2, niraparib interferes with DNA repair processes in cancer cells. This mechanism underlies its study in prostate cancer and other tumor types.

Who is developing niraparib?

Niraparib is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, which trades under the ticker JNJ. The company is running the clinical program in prostate cancer, including combination studies with abiraterone acetate and prednisone. Johnson & Johnson is the sponsor listed for the niraparib trials in castration-resistant and metastatic prostate cancer.

What phase is niraparib in for prostate cancer?

Niraparib is in Phase 3 development for prostate cancer. Two Phase 3 trials are active but not recruiting, and two earlier trials, one Phase 1 and one Phase 2, are also active but not recruiting. Across the program, four trials have enrolled about 1,155 participants in total.

What clinical trials is niraparib in?

Niraparib is being studied in four prostate cancer trials. These include NCT03748641, a Phase 3 study in metastatic prostate cancer, and NCT04497844, a Phase 3 study in HRR gene-mutated metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. NCT03431350 is a Phase 2 combination study, and NCT04577833 is a Phase 1 formulation study.
