Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Grade 3 or 4 Thrombocytopenia Occurring Within 30 Days After Initial Administration of Niraparib
Up to 30 days after the first dose

An adverse event of 'thrombocytopenia' was collected and graded as per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03.As per the NCI-CTCAE, Grade 1 scales as Mild; Grade 2 scales as Moderate; Grade 3 scales as severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; Grade 4 scales as life-threatening consequences; and Grade 5 scales as death related to Adverse Events (AE).

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Until disease progression or death (Up to 3.8 years)

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving CR or PR as assessed by the Investigator per RECIST v.1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in SoD of target lesions, taking as a reference the Baseline SoD.

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Baseline up to Day 21 in Cycle 1 (Cycle length=21 days)

DLT was evaluated as per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), v4.03 and defined as any of the following events occurring during Cycle 1 that were considered by investigator to be related with niraparib: Any Grade 5 or 4 hematologic toxicity, except Grade 4 neutropenia less than (\<) 7 days; Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia with fever greater than (\>) 38.5 degree Celsius and/or infection requiring antibiotic/anti-fungal treatment; Any Grade 3, 4,or 5 non-hematologic toxicity except: Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea/dehydration occurring in setting of inadequate compliance with supportive care and lasting \<48 hours, Inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions, Grade 3 acidosis/alkalosis that responded to intervention by improving to less than or equal to (\<=) Grade 2 within 48 hours, Isolated asymptomatic Grade 3 amylase elevation, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia; Any TEAE leading to an interruption of niraparib for \>14 days.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From the first dose of the study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to Cycle 22 Day 49) (Cycle length =21 days)
Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs
From the first dose of the study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to Cycle 22 Day 49) (Cycle length =21 days)

TEAEs were graded as per the NCI-CTCAE version 4.03. As per the NCI-CTCAE, Grade 1 (mild, asymptomatic or mild symptoms); Grade 2 (moderate, minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated); Grade 3 (severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated); Grade 4 (life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated); Grade 5 (death related to adverse event \[AE\]).

Number of Participants With Serious TEAEs
From the first dose of the study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to Cycle 22 Day 49) (Cycle length =21 days)
Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to TEAEs
From the first dose of the study drug up to 28 days after the last dose of the study drug (up to Cycle 22 Day 49) (Cycle length =21 days)

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From the day of signing the informed consent form (ICF) until 30 days after last dose of study drug administration or beginning of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever comes first (up to 48 months).
Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs
From the day of signing the ICF until 30 days after last dose of study drug administration or beginning of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever comes first (up to 48 months).
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From the day of signing the ICF until 30 days after last dose of study drug administration or beginning of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever comes first (up to 48 months).
