study of neoadjuvant parp inhibition followed by radical prostatectomy in patients with unfavorable intermediate-risk or high-risk prostate cancer with select hrr gene alterations

Conditions: Prostate Cancer; BRCA1 Mutation; BRCA2 Mutation; Prostatic Adenocarcinoma; High-Risk Cancer

Summary: phase 2 open-label, single-arm clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant olaparib + lhrh agonist administered for 6 months prior to radical prostatectomy (rp) in men with unfavorable intermediate-risk or high-risk localized prostate cancer. all patients must have confirmed germline or somatic select hrr alterations. germline and somatic mutation testing will be performed as part of commercially available clia assays and will be validated on a uniform platform centrally all patients retrospectively. eligible patients will receive treatment with olaparib + lhrh agonist. following 6 months of therapy, patients will undergo rp with mandatory lymph node dissection. the lymph node dissection template will be at the discretion of the treating urologist. rp specimens will undergo pathology blinded independent central review. following rp, patients will be followed for testosterone recovery and psa progression.

creatinine clearance ≥ 51 ml/min based on cockcroft-gault formula or 24 hour urine. note: see the protocol for cockcroft-gault formula or 24 hour urine. * life expectancy≥ 16 weeks. * subjects must use a condom plus spermicide beginning prior to treatment cycle 1 day 1, during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of olaparib when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. female partners of male patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception if they are of childbearing potential. see protocol for additional details. * as determined by the enrolling physician or protocol designee, ability of the subject to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study. exclusion criteria: subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in the study: * active infection requiring systemic therapy. * prior treatments not allowed: hormone therapy for prostate cancer including orchiectomy, antiandrogens (including first-generation antiandrogens, enzalutamide, apalutamide and others), cyp17 inhibitors (including abiraterone, tak-700, galeterone, ketoconazole, and others), estrogens and radiation therapy. prior bicalutamide is allowed if taken for \< 4 weeks prior to registration and there is a washout period of 2 weeks prior to the initiation of study treatment. lhrh agonist/antagonist therapy is allowed if begun within 4 weeks of registration. prior 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are allowed but require a washout period of 2 weeks to initiation of study treatment. * prior treatment with a parp inhibitor. * clinically significant acute infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy including: * tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic findings, and tb testing in line with local practice). * known active hepatitis infection, positive hepatitis c antibody, hepatitis b virus surface antigen or hepatitis b virus core antibody at screening. testing is not required unless there was a prior known positive hepatitis b or c test or hepatitis is suspected at screening. active hepatitis b virus (hbv) is defined by a known positive hbv surface antigen (hbsag) result. for patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection, the hbv viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. patients with a history of hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection must have been treated and cured. for patients with hcv infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable hcv viral load. * known to have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) unless currently on effective anti-retroviral therapy with an undetectable viral load within 6 months. * severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c). * patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the study medication. * pre-existing condition that warrants long-term corticosteroid use greater than the equivalent of 10 mg prednisone daily. physiologic replacement is permitted. topical, intra-articular steroids or inhaled corticosteroids are permitted. * active cardiac disease, defined as: * myocardial infarction within 6 months of study treatment. * uncontrolled angina within 3 months of study treatment. * congestive heart failure new york heart association (nyha) class 3 or 4, or subjects with history of congestive heart failure nyha class 3 or 4 in the past, or history of anthracycline or anthracenedione (mitoxantrone) treatment, unless an echocardiogram performed within 3 months of the screening visit results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is ≥ 45%. * history of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes) * other

of another malignancy are not eligible if the cancer is under active treatment or the cancer can be seen on radiology scans. * major surgery within 4 weeks from start of treatment. subjects must have recovered from any effects as the surgery as assessed by investigator discretion. * treatment with any investigational drug within 28 days prior to registration. * persistent toxicities grade \> 2 caused by previous cancer therapy (per common terminology criteria for adverse event (ctcae)). * patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia or with features suggestive of mds/aml. * patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection. examples include but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive
