Can a maintenance drug extend remission in ovarian cancer? a large Real-World study investigates
NCT ID NCT07783022
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how well niraparib works as a first-line maintenance therapy for women with advanced ovarian cancer when used in everyday clinical practice. It will follow about 1,920 patients who have completed initial chemotherapy and are now taking niraparib to keep the cancer from returning. The goal is to measure how long patients stay free of progression, how safe the drug is, and how it is actually used by doctors. The findings could help refine treatment strategies and support more personalized care for ovarian cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- niraparib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide stronger evidence for using niraparib as a standard first-line maintenance treatment, potentially improving outcomes for many ovarian cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- As a real-world, non-interventional study, it cannot prove cause and effect, and results may be influenced by patient differences and treatment variations. Side effects of niraparib, such as fatigue and low blood counts, are possible.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Female patients aged ≥ 18 years with histologically confirmed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer (high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma). Subjects received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy with CR/PR and niraparib first-line maintenance therapy in routine clinical practice. This is a non-interventional real-world cohort study.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria 1. Female patients aged ≥ 18 years. 2. Histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. 3. Histological subtype of high-grade serous carcinoma or high-grade endometrioid adenocarcinoma. 4. Received only prior first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to chemotherapy. 5. Patients who received niraparib maintenance therapy in clinical practice. Exclusion Criteria 1. Patients with comorbidities that, in the investigator's judgment, would seriously endanger patient safety or interfere with medication administration. 2. Patients receiving anti-tumor drugs for other concurrent malignant neoplasms. 3. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients.
