Abstract

Aim: To assess real-world occurrence of common clinical trial-reported adverse events (AE) among patients with recurrent ovarian cancer initiating niraparib 200 mg/day. Materials & methods: This retrospective observational study used physician-extracted anonymized medical record data of eligible patients initiating niraparib 200 mg/day after platinum-based chemotherapy. Results: Of 153 patients, 57 (37%) experienced ≥1 of the three most common all-grade AEs within 3 months after niraparib initiation: nausea (16%; grade 3/4: 2%), thrombocytopenia (14%; grade 3/4: 3%) and fatigue (24%; grade 3/4: 3%). In the ENGOT-OV16/NOVA trial, these respective AEs occurred in 74, 61 and 59% of patients. Conclusion: Incidence of common clinical trial-reported AEs was lower among patients initiating niraparib 200 mg/day in real-world practice versus patients initiating niraparib 300 mg/day in ENGOT-OV16/NOVA.
