Brief Summary

This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 0 study with an expansion phase that will enroll up to 24 participants with newly-diagnosed glioblastoma and up to 18 recurrent glioma participants with IDH mutation and ATRX loss. The trial will be composed of a Phase 0 component (subdivided into Arm A and B) and a therapeutic expansion phase. Patients with tumors demonstrating a positive PK Response (in Arm A) or a positive PD Response (in Arm B) of the Phase 0 component of the study will graduate to a therapeutic expansion phase that combines therapeutic dosing of niraparib plus standard-of-care fractionated radiotherapy (in Arm A) or niraparib monotherapy (in Arm B) until progression of disease.

Study Groups

Arm A: Presumed Newly-Diagnosed glioblastoma

Participants undergoing resection for a presumed newly-diagnosed glioblastoma (WHO grade 4) will be treated with niraparib for 4 days prior to surgical resection. Participants who proceed to the therapeutic expansion phase of this study will receive niraparib in combination with radiation (60 Gy over 6-7 weeks, as per standard of care). Following radiotherapy, eligible study participants may receive niraparib maintenance treatment.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Niraparib

Intervention Type: DRUG

In Phase 0, 300mg administered orally QD for 4 days prior to resection.

In the Expansion cohort/Maintenance phase, niraparib will be administered as described below:

• For patients weighing <77 kg (<170 lbs) OR with a platelet count <150,000/mcL, the recommended dosage is 200 mg taken orally once daily.
• For patients weighing ≥77 kg (≥170 lbs) AND a platelet count ≥150,000/ mcL, the recommended dosage is 300 mg taken orally once daily.

Radiation therapy

Intervention Type: RADIATION

Participants in Arm A who move onto the Expansion cohort will receive 6-7 weeks of radiation therapy per standard of care.

Arm B: Recurrent Glioma (Grades II-IV)

Participants undergoing resection of a recurrent WHO Grade II, III, or IV glioma with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and ATRX loss will be treated with niraparib for 4 days prior to a planned surgical resection. Participants who proceed to the Expansion cohort will receive niraparib in 28d cycles after surgery.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Arm A participants undergoing resection for a suspected newly diagnosed glioblastoma. For Arm B, participants undergoing resection who have had a prior resection of histologically diagnosed WHO grade II-IV glioma with IDH1 or IDH2 mutation and ATRX loss.

2. Arm A participants must have measurable disease preoperatively, defined as at least 1 contrast-enhancing lesion, with 2 perpendicular measurements of at least 1 cm.

3. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document (personally or by the legally authorized representative, if applicable).

4. Participant has voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written informed consent (personally or via legally authorized representative(s), and assent if applicable). Written informed consent for the protocol must be obtained prior to any screening procedures. If consent cannot be expressed in writing, it must be formally documented and witnessed, ideally via an independent trusted witness.

5. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests and other procedures.

6. Age ≥18 at time of consent

7. Have a performance status (PS) of ≤2 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology (Group (ECOG) scale (Oken et al. 1982)

8. Ability to swallow oral medications.

9. Confirmed negative serum pregnancy test (β-hCG) before starting study treatment or participant who is no longer of childbearing potential due to surgical, chemical, or natural menopause. If the serum pregnancy test is completed > 7 days from Day 1, a urine pregnancy test will be done to confirm a negative result prior to Day 1 dose administration.

8. Participant has myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.

9. Participant has serious and/or uncontrolled preexisting medical condition(s) that, in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study (for example, interstitial lung disease, severe dyspnea at rest or requiring oxygen therapy, severe renal impairment], history of major surgical resection involving the stomach or small bowel, or preexisting Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or a preexisting chronic condition resulting in baseline Grade 2 or higher diarrhea).
