Summary
This trial is testing if a combo of drugs can help control advanced cancer that has spread to the brain.

What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include fatigue, nausea, blood count changes for Niraparib; immune-related reactions like inflammation in organs or skin rashes for Dostarlimab. Each patient's experience with side effects could vary.
