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).

Frequently asked questions about Niraparib

What is niraparib?

Niraparib is a small molecule oncology drug being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. It is under study for advanced solid tumors and ovarian cancer, including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer. Niraparib is an investigational agent in clinical development and is not described as approved.

What does niraparib target?

Niraparib targets PARP1 and PARP2. It is classified as an inhibitor of these poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes. By binding PARP1 and PARP2, niraparib interferes with their activity in tumor cells, which is the basis for its study in advanced solid tumors and ovarian cancer.

What is niraparib used for in ovarian cancer?

Niraparib has been studied in ovarian cancer, including relapsed disease and maintenance therapy after response to prior treatment. Trials have also enrolled patients with fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer. These studies were conducted in Japan in adult women aged 20 years and older.

Who makes niraparib?

Niraparib is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda is the sponsor of the clinical studies evaluating niraparib in advanced solid tumors and ovarian cancer.

What clinical trials is niraparib in?

Niraparib has been evaluated in completed studies including NCT03759600, a Japan Phase 2 study in advanced relapsed ovarian cancer, NCT03759587, a Japan Phase 2 maintenance therapy study in relapsed ovarian cancer, and NCT03497429, a Phase 1 study as a single agent in advanced solid tumors.

What phase is niraparib in?

Niraparib is in clinical development, with Phase 1 status for advanced solid tumors and Phase 2 studies completed in ovarian cancer. The completed trials include NCT03497429 in advanced solid tumors and two Japan Phase 2 ovarian cancer studies, NCT03759600 and NCT03759587.
