Intervention

Drug:
• Niraparib
Niraparib was used as 100mg capsules once a day since cycle 1 / day 1. The daily dose (e.g. 200 mg is 2 capsules of 100 mg) should be strictly controlled according to the experimental design. Patients should take medicine regularly every day under the guidance of doctors (the best in the morning). The patient must swallow all the capsules completely and do not chew the capsules. You may drink water or eat when taking medicine.
