Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of Fuzuloparib and AA-P is better for treating advanced prostate cancer. The treatment aims to kill cancer cells by preventing them from fixing their damaged DNA and by reducing hormone levels that help the cancer grow. The study includes patients with and without specific DNA repair deficiencies.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's worsened despite hormone therapy can join. They must be fairly healthy, able to consent, and provide blood and tumor samples for DNA repair deficiency testing. Excluded are those with HIV, hepatitis B or C, brain tumors, heart disease, certain digestive issues or who've had prior PARP inhibitors or recent strong drug interactions.
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Fuzuloparib to standard treatment (Abiraterone acetate and Prednisone) is better than a placebo plus the standard treatment in slowing down cancer growth. It includes two groups: one where patients' cancers have specific DNA repair issues and another without these issues.
What are the potential side effects?
Fuzuloparib may cause nausea, fatigue, anemia (low red blood cell count), potential heart problems among others. Abiraterone can lead to high blood pressure, fluid retention and liver function changes while Prednisone might cause weight gain, mood swings and increased infection risk.

Other Research
Common treatments for prostate cancer include androgen receptor signaling inhibitors like enzalutamide and abiraterone, and PARP inhibitors such as Fuzuloparib. Androgen receptor signaling inhibitors work by blocking the binding of androgens to their receptors, inhibiting the receptor's movement to the cell nucleus, and preventing the receptor from interacting with DNA. This is crucial because prostate cancer cells often rely on androgen signaling for growth and survival. PARP inhibitors, on the other hand, target cancer cells with deficiencies in DNA repair mechanisms, such as those with homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficiencies. By inhibiting PARP enzymes, these drugs prevent cancer cells from repairing their DNA, leading to cell death. These mechanisms are vital for prostate cancer patients as they offer targeted approaches to disrupt cancer cell growth and survival, potentially leading to better treatment outcomes.
