The main goal of this study is to look at the effectiveness and anti-tumor activity (preventing growth of the tumor) of the drugs niraparib and ipilimumab, on the patients and their pancreatic cancer. This study will involve two different treatment arms. In Arm A, patients will receive niraparib plus ipilimumab. In Arm B, patients will receive standard chemotherapy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does niraparib plus ipilimumab slow down tumor growth in patients with pancreatic cancer? * What medical problems do participants have when taking niraparib plus ipilimumab? Participants will: * Undergo screening procedures to evaluate their cancer, overall health, and suitability for the study * After passing screening, will be randomized to Arm A or B and be scheduled to receive niraparib plus ipilimumab (Arm A) or chemotherapy (Arm B) * Receive niraparib plus ipilimumab every 3 weeks (Arm A) * Receive chemotherapy every 2 weeks (Arm B) * Visit the clinic for regular checkups and tests

This study is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm phase II clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of niraparib monotherapy maintenance in HRD-positive newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), including primary peritoneal and/or fallopian tube tumors, following response to front-line chemotherapy in combination with bevacizumab. A total of 116 patients will be enrolled.

Carcinosarcomas (CS) (malignant mixed Müllerian tumors) are highly aggressive and rare tumors with a worldwide annual incidence between 0.5-3.3 cases/100.000 women. Gynecological CS, i.e. ovarian CS (OCS) and uterine CS (UCS), have a 5-year overall survival (OS) \< 10% and a poor prognosis. After initial treatment (surgery +/- adjuvant radiotherapies +/- chemotherapies (CT)), vast majority of patients relapsed and received diverse CT producing modest benefits, and nearly all patients will die. After first line CT including platinum salt, monotherapy (doxorubicin or paclitaxel) is frequently used for relapsed patients, but the response rate (RR) is \<20%, progression-free survival (PFS) \<4 months, and OS \<1 year. In this unmet need situation, a better knowledge of these aggressive neoplasms is essential to propose new therapeutic options.

RecruitingPhase IVFemale onlyOvarian cancer

The purpose of this study is to identify the genetic characteristic(s), specifically degree of African ancestry, and environmental characteristic(s) that appear to be related to the effects, both good and bad, that the maintenance treatment has women with ovarian cancer. In this study, an investigational medication called niraparib is being tested for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Niraparib works by blocking the ability of cancer cells to fix their genes. Cancer cells with damaged genes have a harder time growing and spreading in the body and can even die.

This study is being done to answer the following question: Can testing breast cancer for DNA abnormalities or "biomarkers" help predict which patients are most likely to be helped by certain treatments? The pre-study screening is being done to test a sample of blood (or tumour tissue) for biomarkers to see if patients can participate in the study
