Must not have
Clinically significant cardiovascular disease as evidenced by: myocardial infarction or arterial thrombotic events (e.g. stroke) in the past 6 months, resting EKG indicating uncontrolled, potentially reversible cardiac candiation, as judged by the investigator (e.g. unstable ischemia, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, QTc Fridericia prolongation >500 ms) or patients with congenital long QT syndrome, severe or unstable angina, uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (controlled atrial fibrillation is allowed) or other (non-atrial fibrillation) cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, Active New York Heart Association Class II-IV heart failure, if any prior history of CHF (regardless of New York Heart Association assignment), a cardiac ejection fraction measurement (by echocardiography or multigated acquisition scan) is required within 6 months and mush not be <50%, Planned or scheduled cardiac surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention procedure, Prior revascularization procedure (coronary, carotid or peripheral artery stenosis) within the past 12 months, History of uncontrolled pituitary or adrenal dysfunction, Active infection or other medical condition that would make prednisone use contraindicated, Any chronic medical condition requiring a systemic dose of corticosteroid >10 mg prednisone daily, Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation, Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product or investigational medical devices within 1 month of registration, Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca and Merck staff and/or staff at the University of Michigan), Judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements, Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg) of diastolic blood pressure ≥95 mmHg. Patients with documented white coat syndrome (with home blood pressure machine compared to office for calibration) are allowed if home blood pressure measured daily for a week meet eligibility, Known hypersensitivity to olaparib, abiraterone, planned ADT agent (e.g. leuprolide, goserelin, degarelix), any of the excipients of any of these agents (olaparib, abiraterone, planned ADT agent) or drugs with a similar chemical structure to them or class to agents (olaparib, abiraterone or planned ADT), Immunocompromised patients, Patients who are considered a poor medical risk due to a serious uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection. Examples not discussed elsewhere include, but are not limited to uncontrolled seizure disorder, superior vena cava syndrome or any psychiatric disorder that prohibits informed consent, Persistent toxicities (CTCAE Grade ≥2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia or sensory peripheral neuropathy, Patients who are unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication

Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of treatments for men with castration sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites. The goal is to see if this new combination is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Men with castration sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer, who are medically fit for radiotherapy and have had prior prostate surgery or radiation. They must not have more than 5 metastatic sites suitable for radiation, no brain metastases, and an ECOG performance status of ≤1. Participants need normal organ function, a rising PSA level post-treatment, and agree to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of focal radiation therapy with systemic hormone therapy (ADT) and chemotherapy drugs Abiraterone and Olaparib in men with limited spread prostate cancer. It's a phase 2 study aiming to see if this treatment can effectively manage the disease.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea from chemotherapy; hot flashes from hormone therapy; skin irritation from radiation; potential blood disorders; liver function changes due to medication; increased risk of infections.
