Summary

This trial is testing Niraparib as a maintenance treatment for advanced or recurrent USC, with the aim of finding out if it is effective and safe.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18 or older with advanced stage uterine serous carcinoma (USC) who have responded to chemotherapy. They must not be breastfeeding, agree to contraception if of childbearing potential, and have good organ function. Those with persistent severe blood disorders from past treatments, recent major surgery, uncontrolled medical conditions, active infections, or prior PARP inhibitor treatment are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness and safety of Niraparib as a maintenance therapy in patients with USC who've had a positive response to platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if taking Niraparib after chemo helps control cancer growth better than the current standard care.
What are the potential side effects?
Niraparib may cause side effects such as fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or anemia, nausea or vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, heart palpitations and possible allergic reactions among others.
