This post-authorization safety study (PASS) will be conducted as a prospective, non-interventional, single-arm study. It will also utilize a retrospective control arm as an exploratory/descriptive comparison with the results collected prospectively.

Study design details

Main study objective

The objective of this PASS is to determine the risk of developing MDS/AML and SPMs in patients administered niraparib in the routine clinical setting.

Outcomes

Primary Objective: To estimate the incidence rate of MDS/AML among a cohort of adult patients with platinum-sensitive, relapsed, high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer treated with niraparib who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy.
Secondary Objective: To estimate the incidence rate of SPMs in the same cohort.

Data analysis plan

The analysis population for all analyses is the safety population: all patients who receive any amount of niraparib (at least 1 dose). Analyses will be performed using SAS statistical software and include summary statistics (number and percentage for categorical variables and the number of patients, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum for continuous variables). Analyses will be descriptive, no hypothesis will be tested. Distributions of patient and tumor characteristics will be summarized. Incidence rates of MDS/AML and other SPM and their respective 95% CIs per 100 person-time units will be estimated.The incidence of MDS/AML and SPM will be summarized across various potential risk factors for MDS/AML and SPM, such as: age, gender, chemo- and radiotherapy received, platelet transfusions, renal and/or hepatic insufficiency, CBC abnormalities, family history of MDS/AML, presence of autoimmune disorders, use of alcohol and/or tobacco and use of other PARP inhibitors.
