Abiraterone/Prednisone, Olaparib, or Abiraterone/Prednisone + Olaparib in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With DNA Repair Defects

NCT03012321

Description:

This is a biomarker preselected, randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase II study in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Patients with tumors that have ATM, BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations/deletions/loss of heterozygosity will be randomized in a 1:1:1 fashion to each arm. Patients with mutations in noncanonical DNA repair genes including FANCA, PALB2, RAD51, ERCC3, MRE11, NBN, MLH3, CDK12, CHEK2, HDAC2, ATR, PMS2, GEN1, MSH2, MSH6, BRIP1, or FAM175A defects will be assigned to Arm IV with single agent olaparib.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
             that is approved by the local institutional review board and HIPAA authorization for
             the release of personal health information.

          -  Histological or cytological proof of prostate adenocarcinoma (Note: small-cell
             carcinoma of the prostate is not permitted)

          -  Documented progressive mCRPC based on at least one of the following criteria:

               1. PSA progression defined as 25% increase over baseline value with an increase in
                  the absolute value of at least 2.0 ng/mL that is confirmed by another PSA level
                  with a minimum of a 1 week interval and a minimum PSA of 2.0 ng/mL.

               2. Progression of bidimensionally measurable soft tissue or nodal metastasis
                  assessed within one month prior to registration by a CT scan or MRI.

               3. Progression of bone disease (evaluable disease) (new bone lesion(s)) by bone
                  scan.

          -  Agree to undergo a biopsy of at least one metastatic site (fresh biopsy of primary
             prostate only allowed if there is clear local disease and no other measurable disease
             site or biopsiable bone lesion.) to determine DNA repair defects. (Please refer to the
             Laboratory Manual for specific procedures). However:

               1. Adequate archival metastatic or primary disease tumor tissue can be used if
                  available in lieu of a new biopsy. These patients will only be eligible for
                  protocol therapy if the biopsy has tumor that is positive for DNA repair defects.

               2. Patients with known DNA damage repair defects based on prior appropriately
                  validated metastatic or prostate tissue analysis may be used in lieu of new
                  biopsy/analysis based on central site evaluation of quality of the biopsy and
                  analysis.

               3. Patients with known germline DNA repair defects are eligible without a biopsy.
                  However it will be highly desirable that they undergo a metastatic (or fresh
                  prostate biopsy if there is clear local disease and no other measurable disease
                  site or biopsiable bone lesion) disease biopsy to better define the scope of the
                  DNA repair defects in the current disease context.

          -  ECOG status of 0-2 (Appendix A: Performance Status Criteria).

          -  Adequate organ function as defined below obtained within 14 days of registration:

        (within institutional normal range) Bilirubin within normal institutional limits (or <2X
        the upper limit of normal (ULN) in those with Gilbert's disease) AST (SGOT) / ALT (SGPT) ≤
        1.5x institutional ULN unless liver metastases are present in which case it must be ≤ 5x
        ULN

          -  The effects of abiraterone, olaparib or the combination of both on the developing
             human fetus at the recommended therapeutic dose are unknown. Men must agree to use

             and for at least 3 months thereafter.

          -  Patients must discontinue antiandrogen therapy (i.e., flutamide, bicalutamide,
             nilutamide) for at least 4 weeks prior to registration with no evidence of a falling

          -  Serum testosterone < 50 ng/dL. Patients must continue primary ADT with an LHRH
             analogue (agonist or antagonist) if they have not undergone orchiectomy.

          -  Patients must have a life expectancy ≥ 6 months.

          -  Patients may have received prior radiation therapy or surgery. However, at least 14
             days must have elapsed since completion of radiation therapy or surgery and patient
             must have recovered from all side effects at the time of registration (e.g. back to

             months) myocardial infarction, unstable spinal cord compression (untreated or unstable
             within at least 28 days prior to registration), superior vena cava syndrome, and
             extensive bilateral lung disease on HRCT scan or any psychiatric disorder that
             prohibits obtaining informed consent.
