- Experienced disease progression after having received at least 1 but no more than 2 prior next-generation androgen receptor-targeted therapies, and 1 prior taxane-based chemotherapy, for castration-resistant disease
- Have a deleterious mutation in BRCA1/2 or ATM, or molecular evidence of other homologous recombination deficiency
Exclusion
