Treating Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer with an Inherited or Tumor BRCA1/2 or PALB2 Mutation with Niraparib and Dostarlimab
About the Study
This study looks at how well the niraparib and the drug dostarlimab work together in treating patients with pancreatic cancer, who also have an inherited or tumor mutation in one of the following genes: , , , , , or .
- may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
- such as dostarlimab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Type of Study
This is an open label, single-group study. In a single group assignment study, all participants will receive the same therapy (including dosage, frequency, and how the drug is given) during the study.
What the Study Entails:
All patients enrolled in this study will receive:
- orally once per day on days 1-21
- Dostarlimab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 every 3 weeks for cycles 1-4 and every 6 weeks for subsequent cycles.
Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable .
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months until progressive disease (PD), and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.
