Zejula (niraparib) is a cancer medicine that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

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

Zejula is used after you have received platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, or similar) and your cancer has responded to that medicine.

Zejula is also used to treat ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer in certain patients who have been treated with 3 or more prior types of chemotherapy. Your healthcare provider will perform a test to determine if Zejula is right for you.
