Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer who have specific genetic changes (HRR gene alteration), haven't had certain cancers or treatments like PARP inhibitors, and are on hormone therapy to keep testosterone low. They should not have symptomatic brain tumors or blood disorders like MDS/AML.

Inclusion Criteria

My prostate cancer has spread, and my testosterone is very low due to treatment or surgery.
I can continue hormone therapy during the study if I haven't had surgery to remove my testicles.
My cancer has a positive HRR gene alteration.

Interventions

  • Abiraterone Acetate (Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitor)
  • Niraparib (PARP Inhibitor)
  • Placebo (Chemotherapy)
  • Prednisone (Corticosteroid)
Trial OverviewThe study tests the effectiveness of Niraparib combined with Abiraterone Acetate and Prednisone against just Abiraterone Acetate and Prednisone in treating metastatic prostate cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the combination treatment or the standard treatment plus a placebo.
Participant Groups
3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 3 (Open-label): Participants with mCRPCExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with mCRPC will receive a new formulation of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg tablets plus prednisone 10 mg.
Group II: Cohort 2: Participants with mCRPC and No HRR Gene AlterationExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with L1 mCRPC and no HRR Gene alteration will receive combination of niraparib 200 mg or matching placebo and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg. In the OLE phase participants earlier receiving the combination of niraparib and AAP may continue to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg and those receiving placebo and AAP may cross over depending on the outcome of study to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg.
Group III: Cohort 1: Participants with mCRPC and HRR Gene AlterationExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants with L1 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alteration will receive combination of niraparib 200 milligrams (mg) or matching placebo and abiraterone acetate (AA) 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg. In the open label extension (OLE) phase participants earlier receiving the combination of niraparib and AAP may continue to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg and those receiving placebo and AAP may cross over depending on the outcome of study to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg.
