ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a treatment approach for women with advanced ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancers. The trial is exploring whether combining heated chemotherapy (given directly into the abdominal cavity) with a medication called niraparib can be more effective than standard treatment alone after surgery. Participants will first receive standard chemotherapy before undergoing surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible. After surgery, they will be randomly assigned to receive either the heated chemotherapy or standard postoperative care, followed by additional cycles of chemotherapy and niraparib.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be women aged 18 or older with a specific type of advanced cancer and must have completed an initial round of chemotherapy. They should have no visible disease left after surgery and meet certain health criteria. Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups and receive supportive care to manage any side effects. It’s important to note that this trial is currently recruiting participants, and those interested should discuss their eligibility with their healthcare provider.

• Neurologic function:
• • Peripheral neuropathy ≤ CTC AE grade 2.
• Blood coagulation parameters:
• • PT with an INR of ≤ 1.5 and a PTT ≤ 1.5 times the ULN. For patients on full-dose oral anti-coagulation (such as warfarin or rivaroxaban), in-range INR (usually between 2 and 3) and a PTT \<1.2 times the ULN.
• • 6. Patients must have a GOG performance status of 0 or 1.
• • 7. Patient must be age \> 18.
• • 8. Patients must have a life expectancy \> 3 months.
• • 9. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to iCRS and must be practicing an effective form of contraception (with failure rate \<1% per year) during the study period and for 6 months following the last dose of niraparib. Patients of childbearing potential must consent to pregnancy testing prior to receiving niraparib and monthly thereafter for the duration of the study.
• • Patients are considered postmenopausal and not of child-bearing potential if they are free from menses for \>1 year or are surgically sterilized.
• • 10. Patients must have normal blood pressure (BP) or adequately treated and controlled hypertension based on local standard of care (systolic BP \< 140 mmHg and diastolic \< 90 mmHg)
• • 11. Patients receiving corticosteroids may continue as long as their dose is stable for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
• • 12. Patients must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 90 days after the last dose of study treatment.
• 13. Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are allowed if they meet all of the following criteria:
• • 1. Cluster of differentiation 4 ≥350/µL and viral load \<400 copies/mL
• • 2. No history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining opportunistic infections within 12 months prior to randomization

• • 2. Patients who have received prior treatment for ovarian cancer other than the first 3-4 cycles of platinum based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
• • 3. Patients not eligible for iCRS based on evidence of progression of disease during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (documented on CT scan/MRI required within 28 days of iCRS).
• • 4. Patients not eligible to iCRS based on medical co-morbidites as per enrolling investigator.
• • 5. Patients with stage IV disease without complete response of extra-abdominal disease on preoperative imaging (e.g., pleural effusion, mediastinal, inguinal, supraclavicular lymphadenopathy, or other extra-abdominal metastases) who are not deemed resectable with iCRS.
• • 6. Patients with a history of Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
