| Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Any histologically confirmed recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma (except for
carcinosarcoma), recurrent high-grade serous ovarian/primary peritoneal/fallopian tube
carcinoma, or deleterious BRCA mutant recurrent ovarian/primary peritoneal/fallopian
tube cancer for whom no curative option is available will be eligible. DOSE ESCALATION
ONLY: For patients with ovarian cancer in the dose escalation cohort, only patients
with recurrent, platinum resistant disease are eligible to enroll on study. Platinum
resistance is defined as progression within 6 months from completion of platinum based
therapy (the date should be calculated from the last administered dose of platinum
therapy). In addition, patients in this cohort with a BRCA mutation must have also
progressed after treatment with PARP inhibitor.
- Patients may have unlimited prior chemotherapeutic regimens for management of
recurrent endometrial or ovarian carcinoma. Patients who have received prior PARP
inhibitors ARE allowed to participate. Patients who have received prior PI3K-pathway
inhibitors ARE allowed to participate on the dose escalation phase ONLY. Patients may
have progressed on prior PARP inhibitor and/or PI3K-pathway inhibitor but they may not
have discontinued drug for toxicity.
- With the exception of alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, and bone marrow parameters, any
unresolved toxicities from prior chemotherapy should be no greater than Common
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (version 5.0) grade 1 at the time of
starting study treatment.
- Patients should have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in
Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. If no measurable disease is present, patients should have
assessable disease such as pleural effusion, ascites, with CA125 Gynecological Cancer
Intergroup (GCIG) criteria.
- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of
0 or 1.
- The effects of niraparib and copanlisib on the developing human fetus are unknown. For
this reason, women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum
pregnancy test within 7 days prior to taking study treatment. Female patients and
their male partners must also agree to use effective contraception when sexually
active. This applies since signing of the informed consent form and 6 months (for
women of child bearing potential) after the last study drug administration. A woman is
considered of childbearing potential (WOCBP), i.e. fertile, following menarche and
until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization
methods include but are not limited to hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and
bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months
without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level
in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women
not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy.
- A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral
orchidectomy. The investigator or a designated associate must advise the patient
(WOCBP or men who have not undergone bilateral orchidectomy) how to achieve highly
effective birth control method. Birth control should be used from the signing of the
patient consent form and for 180 days following the last dose of niraparib. Acceptable
methods of birth control include:
- Two highly effective forms of contraception, defined as contraceptive methods
with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and
correctly. Patients and their sexual partners who've undergone vasectomy or tubal
occlusion must also use a male condom with spermicide.
- Permanent sterilization, defined as hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy,
bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral orchidectomy; postmenopausal, defined as a
female patient or sexual partner > 45 years of age who has not menstruated for at
least 12 consecutive months; total sexual abstinence.
- It is unknown if niraparib or copanlisib are expressed in human breast milk. For this
reason, women must not breast-feed while taking the study medications.
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL (within 7 days prior to entry/randomization).
- Hemoglobin >= 9 gm/dL (within 7 days prior to entry/randomization).
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL (within 7 days prior to entry/randomization).
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (within 7 days
prior to entry/randomization) (< 2 x ULN for patients with Gilbert-Meulengracht
syndrome or for patients with cholestasis due to compressive adenopathies of the
hepatic hilum).
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 2.5 x ULN unless
the liver is involved with tumor, in that case, ALT/AST must be =< 5 x ULN (within 7
days prior to entry/randomization).
- Lipase =< 1.5 x ULN (within 7 days prior to entry/randomization).
- International normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5 x ULN and partial thromboplastin time
(PTT) =< 1.5 x ULN (within 7 days prior to entry/randomization). Prothrombin time (PT)
can be used instead of INR if PTT =< 1.5 x ULN.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >= 50% (within 7 days prior to
entry/randomization).
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2 according to the Chronic Kidney
Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. If not on target, the
evaluation may be repeated once after at least 24 hours either according to the
CKD-EPI equation or by 24 hour sampling. If the later result is within acceptable
range, it may be used to fulfill the inclusion criteria instead.
- Patients must be able to swallow and tolerate oral medications and not have
gastrointestinal illnesses that would preclude absorption of niraparib (e.g.
uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; malabsorption syndrome; ulcerative
disease).
- Participants' life expectancy must be at least 3 months.
- Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign an informed consent.
- Patients must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 90 days after the last
dose of study treatment.

platinum sensitive disease must progress after treatment with a platinum doublet, and
patients with BRCA mutations must progress after maintenance therapy with PARP
inhibitor.

- Unresolved toxicity higher than CTCAE (version 5.0) grade 1 attributed to any prior
therapy/procedure, excluding alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, and bone marrow
parameters.
- Any illness or medical conditions that are unstable or could jeopardize the safety of
patients and their compliance in the study.

and the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and
requirements.

drug administration. If a patient is on chronic corticosteroid therapy,
corticosteroids should be de-escalated to the maximum allowed dose before the
screening. Patients may use topical or inhaled corticosteroids. - Anti-arrhythmic
therapy (beta blockers or digoxin are permitted) - Use of strong inhibitors and
inducers of CYP3A4 is prohibited from day -14 of cycle 1 until the end of study visit.
Copanlisib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4. Therefore concomitant use of strong
inhibitors of CYP3A4(e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir,
indinavir, nelfinavir and saquinavir), and inducers of CYP3A (e.g. rifampin,
phenytoin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, St. John's wort) are not permitted from day
-14 of cycle 1 until the end of study visit.
- For expansion phase only: Lack of accessible tumor for biopsy.
