Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for adults with specific cancer mutations. Participants will take two medications, niraparib and irinotecan, to see if they can get better results with manageable side effects.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I am 18 years of age or older.
  • I have advanced solid tumors without curative options.
  • I have one or more of the following mutations: BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, or PALB2.
  • I can take oral medications.
  • I have not had any cancer treatment in the last 3 weeks.
  • I have a measurable cancer lesion.
  • I am willing to sign a consent form and follow study requirements.
  • I have recovered from prior treatment side effects.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have a significant medical condition that makes participation risky.
  • I have had a severe allergic reaction to niraparib or irinotecan.
  • I have known severe toxicity from irinotecan.
  • I have specific genetic variations that increase my risk of irinotecan toxicity.
  • I am currently taking any other investigational drugs.
  • I am pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • I have a serious infection like HIV, HBV, or HCV without proper treatment.
  • I have a history of certain severe conditions impacting my eligibility.

About This Trial
The purpose of this phase 1 clinical trials is to determine whether niraparib (a Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi)) can be safely combined with irinotecan with manageable toxicity and reasonable efficacy. Emerging evidence suggest that PARPi is an effective therapeutic strategy in a wider subset of solid tumors that may have defective homologous recombination (HR) or DNA repair gene m…
