Who is Niranib Niraparib indicated for?

Niraparib is used as a “maintenance” treatment in adults to prevent certain types of cancer from coming back. This includes cancer of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or peritoneum (the membrane that lines the inside of your abdomen and covers some of your internal organs).
Niraparib is given after you have had chemotherapy (with cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin or similar) and your cancer has responded to it.
Niraparib is only sometimes used if your cancer has a specific genetic marker (abnormal BRCA gene) or other genetic mutations. Your doctor will test for this gene for you.
Niraparib may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
