Niraparib in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer
This research study is studying an investigational therapy as a possible treatment for pancreatic cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: -Niraparib
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug to learn whether the drug works in treating a specific disease. The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved niraparib for this specific disease but it has been approved for other uses. Niraparib belongs to a class of anti-cancer agents known as PARP (poly ADP ribose polymerase) inhibitors. PARP is a protein in the body that repairs damage to DNA (one of the building blocks of a cell). In cells that are rapidly growing, such as cancer cells, blocking repair of DNA may be of benefit, since it will cause the cell to die. In this research study, the investigators are looking to test the effectiveness of niraparib in patients with pancreatic cancer. The trial is focused on pancreatic cancer patients that have marker, a mutation in a DNA repair gene, suggesting that their cancer might be susceptible to niraparib.

Primary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Progression Free Survival | Progression-free survival is defined as the time from registration to documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Subjects who have not experienced an event of interest by the time of analysis will be censored at the date of the last disease assessment without progression. | 6 month |
Secondary Outcome Measures | Measure Description | Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Overall response rate will be measured by RECIST criteria. | 2 years | |
Overall Survival Rate | Overall survival is defined as the time from registration to death from any cause, and subjects who are thought to be alive at the time of final analysis will be censored at the last date of contact. | 2 years |
Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of niraparib as assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) | 2 years |
