NCT ID NCT05523440

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested two drugs, niraparib and bevacizumab, alone or together, in people with recurrent endometrial or ovarian cancer that has a specific gene change called ARID1A. The goal was to see if the drugs could shrink tumors. However, the trial was stopped early after enrolling only 9 participants, so the findings are very limited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

niraparib (Zejula) and bevacizumab (Avastin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a targeted treatment option for people with recurrent endometrial or ovarian cancer that has an ARID1A mutation.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early with only 9 participants, so results are very limited and may not be reliable. It is also a Phase 2 study, meaning it is still early and may not lead to a standard treatment.
