Summary

This trial is studying niraparib as a possible treatment for prostate cancer. It is testing how well it works with standard treatments of radiation and hormonal therapy, and what the side effects are.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread elsewhere. Eligible participants have a Gleason score of 7 or higher, PSA levels below certain thresholds, and good organ function. They must not have had prior treatments like radical prostatectomy or systemic therapy for prostate cancer and should be willing to use contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of Niraparib (an enzyme blocker) combined with standard radiation and hormonal therapies in preventing the return of high-risk prostate cancer. It's a phase II trial aiming to find the best dose while monitoring side effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Niraparib may cause fatigue, nausea, blood cell count changes, heart palpitations, muscle pain, and other digestive issues. Standard radiation might lead to skin irritation at treatment sites and hormonal therapy can result in hot flashes or reduced sexual interest.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phase II, Arm II (niraparib, GnRH, IMRT)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients undergo standard of care GnRH agonist androgen suppression therapy for 24 months, and niraparib PO QD for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8 weeks after starting niraparib, patients undergo standard of care IMRT 5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks depending on type of radiation therapy given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Phase I (niraparib, GnRH, IMRT)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive niraparib PO QD and receive standard of care GnRH agonist androgen suppression therapy. Treatment with niraparib continues for 12 months, and GnRH agonist therapy for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8 weeks after starting niraparib and GnRH agonist, patients undergo standard of care IMRT 5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks, depending on type of radiation therapy given, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Phase II, Arm I (GnRH, IMRT)Active Control2 Interventions
Patients undergo standard of care GnRH agonist androgen suppression therapy for 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8-28 weeks after starting GnRH agonist, patients undergo IMRT 5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks depending on type of radiation therapy given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
