Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Disease control, defined as achievement of either CR, PR, or SD, as defined by modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (mRANO) criteria.
When termination of the study or 5 years after removal from protocol therapy, whichever occurs first.

Complete response (CR) is seen as the disappearance of all enhancing measurable and non-measurable disease sustained for at least 4 weeks. Partial response (PR) is ≥50% decrease in sum of products of perpendicular diameters or ≥65% decrease in total volume of all measurable enhancing lesions compared with baseline, sustained for at least 4 weeks. Stable disease (SD), must be present on two consecutive MRI scans, with the 2nd/confirmatory MRI performed at least 16 weeks after starting treatment.

Secondary Endpoints
Number of AEs (Adverse Events)
When termination of the study or 5 years after removal from protocol therapy, whichever occurs first.
Duration of disease control.
When termination of the study or 5 years after removal from protocol therapy, whichever occurs first.
Objective radiographic response (ORR)
When termination of the study or 5 years after removal from protocol therapy, whichever occurs first.

Cohort AEXPERIMENTALCohort A is for subjects with recurrent glioblastoma who do not have clinical indication for surgical resection of the recurrent tumor. Subjects in Cohort A will initiate and continue TTFields therapy for 5-7 days prior to starting niraparib.
Cohort BACTIVE_COMPARATORCohort B is for subjects with recurrent glioblastoma who have a clinical indication for surgical resection of the recurrent tumor. Subjects in Cohort B will receive TTFields for 5-7 days prior to planned surgical resection, undergo surgical resection, resume TTFields postoperatively, and initiate niraparib 5- 7 days after starting TTFields postoperatively.

NameTypeDescription
NiraparibDRUGNiraparib (\[3S\]-3-\[4-{7-(aminocarbonyl)-2H-indazol-2-yl} phenyl\] piperidine \[tosylate monohydrate salt\]) is an orally available, potent, highly selective poly (adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) -1 and -2 inhibitor. The niraparib drug product is provided as 100-mg capsules filled with a dry blend of niraparib tosylate monohydrate, lactose monohydrate, and magnesium stearate in a hard gelatin capsule.
OptuneDEVICEOptune, which is manufactured by Novocure, is a portable battery or power supply operated device which produces alternating electrical fields, called tumor treatment fields ("TTFields") within the human body. TTFields are applied to the patient by electrically-insulated surface transducer arrays. TTFields disrupt the rapid cell division exhibited by cancer cells.
