Clinical Trial Summary

The incidence of homologous recombination deficiency in metastatic triple negative breast cancer was 52%-59%，PARP plays a key role in sensing DNA damage and converting it into intracellular signals that activate the base excision repair (BER) and single-strand break repair pathways. Treatment with PARP inhibitors could represent a novel opportunity to selectively kill a subset of cancer cells with deficiencies in DNA repair pathways. This is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with HRD positive metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

Description:

Simon's two-stage optimization method is used to estimate the sample size. The first kind of error α Set to 0.1, type II error β Set to 0.25, P0 to 30%, P1 to 44%. 22 patients were enrolled in the first stage. If the number of effective cases ≤ 6, the trial was terminated. Otherwise, continue to enroll 26 patients in the second stage. If the number of effective cases in the two stages is ≤ 18, there is no need to further study the drug. Assuming an abscission rate of 5%, it is estimated that 50 subjects will be enrolled in the trial.

9. Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) = 1.5× ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

10. Female patient has a negative serum pregnancy test within 7days prior to taking study medication if of childbearing potential, or agrees to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from enrollment through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment, or be of non-childbearing potential. Non-childbearing potential is defined as (by other than medical reasons).

11. Female patients must agree not to breastfeed during the study period or within 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.

12. Patient agrees to blood samples during screening and at the end of treatment for cytogenetic analysis.

Exclusion Criteria:

8. Known history of platelet transfusions for chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia or = Grade 3 hematologic toxicity from prior cancer therapy (lasting > 4 weeks and associated with most recent therapy).

9. Patient has any known history of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

10. Patient has a serious, uncontrolled medical condition, non-malignant systemic disease, or active, uncontrolled infection.
