About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of the PARP Inhibitor, Niraparib, in BAP1 and Other DNA Damage Response (DDR) Pathway Deficient Neoplasms (UF-STO-ETI-001)

This open-label, non-randomized study will investigate the use of niraparib in patients with tumors known to have mutations in BAP1 and other select DNA damage response pathway genes.

Read the detailed description

BAP1 is an ubiquitin ligase that is critical in helping to regulate the cell cycle, cellular differentiation, and cell death. This protein is also intimately involved with DNA double-strand break repair. Germline mutations in the BAP1 gene are associated with a hereditary cancer syndrome that increases the risk of uveal melanoma, mesothelioma and renal cell carcinoma. PARP is another protein that is crucial in DNA repair and enables continued cell replication and survival. It is hypothesized that PARP inhibition with niraparib will result in significant cytoreduction in patient tumors with mutations in BAP1 and other components of the DNA damage response pathway through synthetic lethality. Synthetic lethality is the inhibition of a gene that a cell relies on to compensate for the loss of another gene, resulting in the cell's demise.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Determine the objective response rate (ORR), which is defined as the percentage of subjects achieving a best overall response of partial or complete response (according to RECIST v1.1 criteria) from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence or 30 days after the end of treatment, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST v1.1 criteria, a partial response is defined as a 30% or more decrease in the sum of the largest diameters of the target lesions. Per RECIST v1.1 criteria, a complete response is defined as the disappearance of target lesions (lymph nodes identified as lesions must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm).

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-Free Survival

    Determine the median progression-free survival. Progression-free survival is defined as the duration of time from study entry to time of progression or death or the date of last contact, whichever occurs first. Progression is defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria and is defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the largest diameters of target lesions and/or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Progression-Free Survival Rate at 3 Months

    Determine the progression-free survival rate at 3 months after study entry in each cohort. This is the percentage of subjects that both have not had disease progression and are alive 3 months after study entry. Disease progression is defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria and is defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the largest diameters of target lesions and/or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Progression-Free Survival Rate at 6 Months

    Determine the progression-free survival rate at 6 months after study entry in each cohort. This is the percentage of subjects that both have not had disease progression and are alive 6 months after study entry. Progression is defined by RECIST v1.1 criteria and is defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the largest diameters of target lesions and/or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Overall Survival

    Estimate the median overall survival. Overall survival is defined as the duration of time from date of study entry until date of death or date of last contact.

    Measured: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Niraparib in people with Mesothelioma and Uveal Melanoma, run by University of Florida at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 21 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03207347, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Sep 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
