Study Summary
This trial is open-label, which means both the research doctor and the participants will know which treatment is being given. This is a phase 0 trial, which means that the purpose of this trial is to learn how the body reacts to the treatment and to find out what the side effects are. This trial will test the effects of Niraparib on subjects with progressive IDH1 or IDH2 mutant, non-enhancing glioma.
Who is the study for?
Adults with confirmed IDH1/2 mutant glioma, evidence of tumor progression, and a Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥ 70. Must be at least 12 weeks post-CNS radiation, not pregnant or breastfeeding, agree to contraception use, have adequate organ function and no major surgery within the last 4 weeks. Cannot be on other clinical trials or have had certain treatments recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Niraparib's effects directly in the brain tumors of patients with progressive IDH1/2 mutant gliomas. It's an open-label phase 0 study where participants will undergo resection/treatment to assess how well Niraparib works inside these tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Niraparib in this trial are not listed, common ones from similar studies include nausea, fatigue, blood cell count issues (like anemia), digestive problems like constipation or diarrhea, and potential heart risks.

Active Control
Group I: Arm A Treatment with NiraparibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
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
Group II: Arm B No Treatment with NiraparibActive Control1 Intervention
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.
