Niraparib is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Niraparib is used as a "maintenance" treatment to keep certain types of cancer from coming back. This includes cancers of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum (the membrane that lines the inside of your abdomen and covers some of your internal organs).

Niraparib is given after you have received chemotherapy (with cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, or similar) and your cancer has responded to that medicine.

Niraparib may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
