A Phase 2 Efficacy and Safety Study of Niraparib in Men With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and DNA-Repair Anomalies

Eligibility

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed prostate cancer (mixed histology is acceptable, with the exception of the small cell pure phenotype, which is excluded)
  • Received a taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with evidence of disease progression on or after treatment, or discontinued from a taxane-based chemotherapy due to an adverse event
  • Received a second-generation or later androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy (for example, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, enzalutamide, apalutamide) for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with evidence of disease progression or non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with evidence of subsequent metastasis
  • Biomarker-positive by at least one of the following criteria: (a) Biallelic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair anomaly based on a sponsor validated blood or tissue assay; (b) Germline pathogenic Breast Cancer gene (BRCA) 1 or BRCA2 by any test (somatic local results must be confirmed as positive by the sponsor-validated assay before dosing)
  • Progression of metastatic prostate cancer in the setting of castrate levels of testosterone or history of bilateral orchiectomy at study entry

Exclusion

  • Prior treatment with a poly (adenosine diphosphate [ADP] ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor
  • Prior platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer
  • Known history or current diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Symptomatic or impending cord compression
  • Symptomatic brain metastases

Inclusion

  • You are able to swallow medication by mouth.
  • You have had a certain type of treatment or surgical procedure.
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.
  • Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Exclusion
