Stage 3 or 4 ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma
Specific Selection Criteria: Previous treatment response to neoadjuvant treatment
Neoadjuvant (Maintenance) treatment: Phase 2		Targeted Therapy (PARP Inhibitor)

Niraparib maintenance in patients with advanced ovarian cancer at neoadjuvant setting - a phase 2, single-arm trial (NEOPRIMA trial).	Key Inclusion Criteria: Patients must have newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed high grade, serous or endometrioid, FIGO stage 3 or 4 [29], ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma before the start of NACT.In case that histological diagnosis was not available, at least cell block from cytological specimens should be available, of which the immunostaining profile should suggest serous or endometrioid origin (such as positivity for CK7 and WT1) and the quality is good enough for further translational research. Patients must have received 3 - 6 cycles of NACT containing either carboplatin or cisplatin, IDS with or without HIPEC, and 3 – 6 more cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, prior to recruitment into the study (i.e. patients need to receive a total of 6 – 9 cycles of chemotherapy under normal circumstance).However in case of intolerable toxicity from the chemotherapy, the patients need to receive at least 4 cycles of chemotherapy in total before they are eligible to join the study. The patients should have only one cytoreductive surgery.Those who have oophorectomy at first diagnosis where cytoreductive surgery is not performed before the NACT are eligible. The patients must show either complete (CR) or partial response (PR) to the platinum-based chemotherapy using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Key Exclusion Criteria: Patients who are diagnosed to have low-grade or borderline carcinoma, mucinous or clear cell cystadenocarcinoma, carcinosarcoma or undifferentiated carcinoma, are excluded. Patients who have stable disease or PD on the post-treatment scan or clinical evidence are excluded. Patients who have drainage of ascites within 4 weeks before recruitment are excluded.

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase II Clinical Study of IN10018 in Combination with Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) vs. Placebo in Combination with PLD for the Treatment of Platinum-resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer.	Key Inclusion Criteria: Histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneum cancer and its subtype is high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Have received platinum containing therapy and have radiological relapse or progression during platinum containing treatment or < 6 months (184 calendar days) after completion of prior platinum-based therapy (at least 4 cycles). Maximum total of 3 prior lines of systemic therapy are allowed.
