Radiation boost may Re-Sensitize ovarian cancer to PARP inhibitors

NCT ID NCT05990192

First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial investigates whether adding stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the PARP inhibitor niraparib can improve control of ovarian cancer that has spread to a limited number of new spots after prior PARP inhibitor therapy. Participants will receive SBRT alone or SBRT followed by niraparib. The study aims to see if this combination delays further cancer growth and is feasible for patients.

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 stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new way to manage ovarian cancer that has spread to a few spots, potentially delaying the need for stronger chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial, so results may not apply to all patients. SBRT can cause side effects like fatigue or pain at the treated site, and niraparib may cause nausea or low blood counts.
