• Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years after study treatment ]
  Frequency and severity of AEs and tolerability of the regimen will be collected and summarized by descriptive statistics. The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. All patients who have received at least one dose of the therapeutic agents will be evaluable for toxicity and tolerability.
• Confirmed clinical benefit rate (CBR) [ Time Frame: Within first 6 months of study treatment ]
  Defined as complete response + partial response + stable disease. Will be calculated with 95% binomial CIs.
• Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From first treatment with the study drug to the earliest of either disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years ]
  Will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred.
• Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From first treatment with the study drug to the death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years ]
  Will initially be modeled using Kaplan-Meier methods, resulting in median survival times with 95% CI, assuming sufficient events have occurred.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate whether niraparib tosylate monohydrate (niraparib) shows preliminary evidence of clinical activity among subjects with leiomyosarcoma (LMS) with genomic alterations in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway as measured by the confirmed objective response rate (ORR).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the clinical benefit rate (CBR) associated with niraparib treatment in the study population.

II. To evaluate the progression free survival (PFS) associated with niraparib treatment in the study population.

III. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) associated with niraparib treatment in the study population.

IV. To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of niraparib treatment in the study population.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate predictive biomarkers of response to niraparib. II. To evaluate genomic mechanisms of resistance following treatment benefit with niraparib.

III. To evaluate previous treatment response as a marker of response to niraparib.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive niraparib orally (PO) once daily (QD). Cycles repeat every 28 days for 15 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 5 years or until death.

Inclusion Criteria:

Additionally, patients must have a site of disease deemed accessible for biopsy at no or minimal risk to the patient (including through the use of image-guidance). If there are questions regarding the feasibility of biopsy, the case should be reviewed with interventional radiology or the appropriate department at the study site
• Patients must have had prior progression on, or intolerance to, at least one line of systemic therapy for advanced LMS. Adjuvant therapy administered after curative resection will not qualify as prior treatment. There is no upper limit on the number of prior therapies received
• Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =< 2
• Participant must be >= 18 years of age
• Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/uL
• Platelets >= 100,000/uL
• Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL
• Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN (=< 2.0 in patients with known Gilbert's syndrome) OR direct bilirubin =< 1 x ULN
• Aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase =< 2.5 x ULN unless liver metastases are present, in which case they must be =< 5 x ULN
• Participant receiving corticosteroids may continue as long as their dose is stable for least 4 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy

• Female participant has either a negative highly sensitive urine or a serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential and agrees to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from screening through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment, or is of nonchildbearing potential. Nonchildbearing potential is defined as follows (by other than medical reasons):

  • >= 45 years of age and has not had menses for > 1 year
  • Patients who have been amenorrhoeic for < 2 years without history of a hysterectomy and oophorectomy must have a follicle stimulating hormone value in the postmenopausal range upon screening evaluation
