Cancer drug niraparib gets Long-Term safety check in extension trial
NCT ID NCT04641247
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study offers continued access to niraparib, a daily oral cancer drug, for up to 37 patients with ovarian or breast cancer who have already completed a prior niraparib trial and are still benefiting. The main goal is to monitor long-term safety, including side effects and changes in daily functioning. Participants will continue their current niraparib dose and be followed for any health issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Niraparib (a targeted cancer drug taken as a daily pill)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that long-term niraparib is safe and continues to control ovarian or breast cancer, offering a maintenance treatment option.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, open-label extension study (37 participants) focused on safety, not on proving the drug works better. It only includes people who already tolerated niraparib, so results may not apply to all patients. Side effects like fatigue, nausea, or blood issues remain possible.
