Brief summary: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluzoparib combined with abiraterone in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with high-risk locoregional prostate cancer. Dr. Yao Zhu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is the co-leading PI of this study.

10. Normal blood pressure: Systolic blood pressure \< 160mmHg, diastolic blood pressure \< 95mmHg, patients with normal blood pressure after appropriate clinical treatment can be included.
11. Normal kidney function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN, creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min.
12. Patients deemed to have the ability to ejaculate and an active sexual life must agree to use effective contraception and not to donate sperm from the first administration of the study drug until 3 months after the last administration.
13. Patients are able to understand and willing to sign the informed consent form. Patients are able to comply with the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with a history of other malignant tumors, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or who have had other malignant tumors within 5 years before the first dosa (excluding completely resolved in situ cancers and malignancies deemed by the investigator to progress slowly).
2. Patients who have undergone local treatment for prostate cancer (such as radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy, or brachytherapy).
3. Patients who have received radiotherapy or major surgery within 3 weeks before the first dose or participated in another drug clinical trial within 4 weeks before the first dose.
4. Patients planning to receive any other antitumor therapy during the study treatment.
5. Patients who have received treatment with PARP inhibitors (e.g., fluzoparib, olaparib, talazoparib, veliparib, niraparib, lucaparib, or others), chemotherapy (e.g., docetaxel, cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, or others), mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, CYP17 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, conventional anti-androgen therapy (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonists/antagonists, bicalutamide, nilutamide), novel hormonal therapy (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide), or immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T vaccine, ipilimumab). Patients who have received conventional anti-androgen therapy or abiraterone for no more than 1 month are allowed to enroll.

Patients who have previous treated with strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, ritonavir, cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The washout period before the first dose should be at least 2 weeks.
7. Patients who have previous treated with strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine) or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g., bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil).

21. According to the investigator's judgment, there are severe concurrent diseases (such as severe diabetes, thyroid disease, and psychiatric illness, etc.) or unstable medical, psychological, or other conditions (including laboratory abnormalities) that may pose a serious risk to the subject's safety, affect the subject's completion of the study, or affect the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
