Niraparib With or Without Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Women with Recurrent ARID1A Mutated Endometrial or Ovarian Cancer
This phase II trial tests how well niraparib works alone or in combination with bevacizumab in treating patients with ARID1A-mutated endometrial or ovarian cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Niraparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP with niraparib may prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. Patients with ARID1A mutated endometrial or ovarian cancer may be more sensitive to niraparib (PARP inhibitor) and bevacizumab combination therapy. Taking niraparib alone or in combination with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with ARID1A mutated endometrial or ovarian cancer.
Inclusion Criteria
- Histologically confirmed progressive or recurrent endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer * Patients with previously identified ARID1A tumor mutations ** Note: Any ARID1A mutation is eligible and any Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) next generation sequencing test is allowable for eligibility
- Histological tissue specimen (tissue block or 8-10 unstained slides) must be available (specimen can be the sample at diagnosis or taken at relapse). Otherwise, patient must agree to have tumor biopsy to obtain sufficient tissue for histological assessment.

- A subset of patients (15 ovarian samples and 15 endometrial samples) should agree to have optional tumor biopsy for translational studies assessment. If unable to be safely biopsied and patient desires enrollment, may be enrolled per medical monitor discretion. Tissue collection for the optional translational biopsies will continue until a total of 30 viable samples have been collected (15 endometrial and 15 ovarian).

Patients will be considered to be not of child-bearing potential if they are: * Post-menopausal - defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, OR women under 50 years old who have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and have serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and plasma oestradiol levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution * Able to provide documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation * Radiation or chemotherapy-induced oophorectomy or menopause with > 1 year since last menses
- Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations
- Able to swallow, absorb, retain oral medication
- Able to provide written, informed consent
- Patients must have recovered from any effects of any major surgery and not have an open wound, active ulcer, or fistula
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients with localized advanced disease without other measurable lesion and could be treated with curative intent
- Other malignancy within the last 5 years that would be expected to impact on overall survival. Prior malignancy with no expected impact on overall survival are allowed
- Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia history or with features suggestive of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
- Patients receiving radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to study treatment
- Major surgery within 4 weeks of starting study treatment
- Previous allogenic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation (dUCBT)
- Any previous treatment with PARP inhibitor, including niraparib
- Clinically significant (e.g. active) cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure. Uncontrolled high blood pressure defined as values >= 160/100 or symptomatic, refer to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

- Patients with increased risk of bleeding or history or evidence of hemorrhagic disorders within 6 months prior to study treatment
- Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) with corrected QT interval (QTc) > 470 msec on 2 or more time points within a 24-hour period or family history of long QT syndrome
- Persistent toxicities (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] > grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia
- Patients with symptomatic uncontrolled brain metastases. A scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the proportion of patients with recurrent endometrial cancer with mutated ARID1A, who have objective tumor response (complete or partial), to the combination treatment of niraparib and bevacizumab and to monotherapy niraparib.
II. To estimate the proportion of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer with mutated ARID1A, who have objective tumor response (complete or partial), to the combination treatment of niraparib and bevacizumab and to monotherapy niraparib.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of each regimen in study subjects.
II. To estimate the proportion of subjects with recurrent endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer with mutated ARID1A, who survive progression-free for at least 6 months, treated with each regimen.
III. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) of subjects with recurrent endometrial cancer or ovarian cancer with mutated ARID1A treated with each regimen.
TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
I. To obtain fresh tumor tissue pre-dose in a subset of patients to determine whether patient-derived organoid (PDO) response after treatment correlates with patient response and PFS.
II. To determine the degree of and ability to respond to DNA damage by analyzing both HR and NHEJ pathways, including RAD51 foci formation assay, gamma H2AX staining and a 53BP1 foci assay in PDOs.
III. To evaluate correlation between tumor ARID1A protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tumor ARID1A mutation determined by next generation sequencing.
IV. To obtain a serum sample for exosome isolation to determine micro ribonucleic acid (RNA) (miRNA) signatures that predict response to therapy.
V. To correlate mutations in DNA damage repair pathway genes (somatic and germline) with tumor response.
