Summary

This trial is testing the safety of a new cancer treatment combination and its effects on patients with cervix cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18+ with recurrent or progressive cervical cancer who have had at least one systemic treatment (excluding chemo with radiation). They must have measurable lesions, stable corticosteroid doses if applicable, good organ function, and an ECOG status of 0-1. Exclusions include active CNS metastases, recent transfusions, certain blood disorders, HIV/Hepatitis B/C infections, recent investigational drug use or major surgery.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effects of combining Niraparib and dostarlimab in treating cervical cancer that has come back or worsened. Participants will receive both drugs to determine how well they work together against this type of cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, nausea, digestive issues from Niraparib; immune-related reactions like skin rash or thyroid problems from dostarlimab. Side effects can vary widely among individuals.
