Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Patients can be prescreened for the study at the time of diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic disease by determining presence of LOH high status and/or deleterious alterations in HR pathway genes in the most recent available tumor tissue sample or in blood if they are found to have germline mutations. Patients with either somatic or germline mutations will be allowed. At the time of disease progression, patients with high LOH or deleterious alterations in HR pathway genes and satisfying all other inclusion criteria will be enrolled on the study. Patients will be treated with niraparib (flat dose) orally every day for 28 days until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, withdrawal of consent, or death. CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis will be performed every 2 months and response will be assessed by RECIST 1.1.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Objective Response Rate [2 years]

      Determine objective response rate (ORR) with niraparib in patients with metastatic esophageal/gastroesophageal junction (GEJ)/proximal gastric adenocarcinoma previously treated with platinum containing chemotherapy and harboring high genome wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or defective homologous recombination noted through deleterious alterations in HR genes.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Assess adverse events [2 years]

      Evaluate the safety and tolerability of niraparib as defined by CTCAE v5.

    2. Progression free survival [3 years]

      PFS is defined as the time from D1 of treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by RECIST 1.1 or death as a result of any cause, whichever occurs first.

    3. Disease Control Rate [2 years]

      Disease control rate is defined as the proportion of all subjects with stable disease (SD) for 8 weeks, or partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) according to RECIST 1.1.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    1. Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.

    2. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.

    3. ECOG Performance Status of 0-1 within 14 days prior to registration.

    4. Locally advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma or proximal gastric adenocarcinoma or metastatic adenocarcinoma originating from esophagus, GE junction, or proximal stomach who progress/recur beyond 2 months of receiving a platinum- containing regimen

    NOTE: Patients can be pre-screened for study at any time including after surgical resection for locally advanced esophageal cancer, at presentation with metastatic disease and potentially during chemotherapy and radiation prior to surgery.

    1. A subject with symptomatic brain metastasis may be considered if they have completed their treatment for brain metastasis at least 4 weeks prior to study registration, have been off of corticosteroids for ≥ 2 weeks, and are asymptomatic. Patients with asymptomatic brain mets that are untreated will be allowed.

    2. Must not have received more than 1 prior line of chemotherapy in the metastatic setting (could have received immunotherapy, VEGF directed therapy, and/or trastuzumab which does not count as chemotherapy).

    3. One of the following genetic results is required for eligibility:

    • High LOH in tissue OR

    • HR mutation in tissue OR

    • Germline mutation (blood)

    NOTE: Mutations, deletions or loss by fusions are the acceptable alterations in HR genes as long as they are deleterious. Patients are eligible if they have a mutation in pre-specified HR genes BRCA1/2, PALB2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK2, FANCA, RAD51, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, RAD54L, NBN, ARID1A and GEN1. Deleterious mutations in HR genes are defined as those that have been previously characterized to be loss-of-function/pathogenic/or likely pathogenic as specified per the following databases: Clinvar, OncoKB, or BRCAExchange. Mutations or small insertions or deletions that results in truncation, frameshift, stop codon loss, or stop codon gain will also be considered deleterious irrespective of their presence in the aforementioned databases unless previously characterized to be benign. Copy number losses or disruption by fusion will also be considered deleterious irrespective of their presence in the aforementioned databases. Gene amplifications or variants of unknown significance will not be eligible for inclusion.

    NOTE: Genetic testing results from a CLIA certified lab that confirm one of the following: high LOH in tissue, HR mutation in tissue or germline mutation in blood are required and can be used to meet eligibility. Even if subject has met eligibility with one of the criteria above, results from the other analysis is required if available.

    If prior genetic results are not available, subject must have archival tissue or fresh tissue (by new biopsy) for testing. Both primary tumor tissue and metastatic site sample biopsies are allowed. Blood will also be required for germline mutation analyses. Central confirmation of all results will be performed but are not mandated for eligibility. If a subject has met eligibility with prior genetic results but does not have sufficient archival tissue for central confirmation, a biopsy is not required.

    1. Presence of measurable disease by RECIST v1.1, defined as:
    • Tumor lesions that must be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter in the plane of measurement is to be recorded) with a minimum size of:

    • 10 mm by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness no greater than 5 mm)

    • 10 mm caliper measurement by clinical exam (lesions which cannot be accurately measured with calipers should be recorded as non-measurable)

    • 20 mm by chest X-ray

    • Malignant lymph nodes: To be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable, a lymph node must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis when assessed by CT scan (CT scan slice thickness recommended to be no greater than 5 mm). At baseline and in follow-up, only the short axis will be measured and followed.

    1. Prior cancer treatment must be completed at least 14 days prior to registration and the subject must have recovered from all reversible acute toxic effects of the regimen (other than alopecia) to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline.

    2. Demonstrate adequate organ function as defined in the table below; all screening labs to be obtained within 14 days prior to registration.
