Niraparib With Standard Combination Radiation Therapy and Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Treating Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

NCT04037254

Description:

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of niraparib, and to see how well it works in combination with standard of care radiation therapy and hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) in treating patients with prostate cancer that has a high chance of coming back (high risk). Niraparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Adding niraparib to the usual treatments of radiation therapy and hormonal therapy may lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or returning.

Purpose

This phase II trial studies the side effects and best dose of niraparib, and to see how well it works in combination with standard of care radiation therapy and hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) in treating patients with prostate cancer that has a high chance of coming back (high risk). Niraparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To establish the preferred dose of niraparib in combination with radiation and
      antiandrogen therapy (ADT). (Phase I) II. To compare the disease-free state, defined as PSA
      remaining < 0.1 ng/ml at the end of ADT therapy in men with high risk prostate cancer treated
      with standard therapy with or without the addition of niraparib. (Phase IIR)

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To further establish the safety and toxicity profile of standard treatment with radiation
      and androgen deprivation therapy specifically, two years from initiation of ADT, plus
      niraparib at the phase II dose.

      II. To compare the overall survival, prostate cancer-specific survival, local/regional or
      distant progression, and distant metastatic disease rates of standard therapy with or without
      the addition of niraparib.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To identify genomic biomarkers of response to combination therapy with radiation, ADT and
      PARP inhibition.

      OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of niraparib, followed by a phase II study.

      PHASE I: Patients receive niraparib orally (PO) once daily (QD) and receive standard of care
      gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist androgen suppression therapy. Treatment with
      niraparib continues for 12 months, and GnRH agonist therapy for 24 months in the absence of
      disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8 weeks after starting niraparib and
      GnRH agonist, patients undergo standard of care intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
      5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks, depending on type of radiation therapy given, in the
      absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      PHASE II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms:

      ARM I: Patients undergo standard of care GnRH agonist androgen suppression therapy for 24
      months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8-28 weeks
      after starting GnRH agonist, patients undergo IMRT 5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks
      depending on type of radiation therapy given in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM II: Patients undergo standard of care GnRH agonist androgen suppression therapy for 24
      months, and niraparib PO QD for 12 months in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 8 weeks after starting niraparib, patients undergo standard
      of care IMRT 5 days per week for about 6-9 weeks depending on type of radiation therapy given
      in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 3 years,
      then annually for 3 years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Maintenance of disease-free state

Safety Issue:
Description:Will be characterized by PSA values sustained below 0.1 ng/ml. A modified intent-to-treat analysis will be conducted. The proportion of patients disease-free at 24 months will be compared in the two treatment arms using a non continuity-corrected chi-square test. As a secondary analysis, a logistic regression model will be fit to adjust for the stratification factors (risk group and type of radiation therapy).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Survival
Time Frame:From randomization until death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will consist of comparison of Kaplan-Meier (Kaplan 1958) curves using a logrank test.
Measure:Prostate cancer-specific survival
Time Frame:From randomization until death from prostate cancer, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will consist of comparison of Kaplan-Meier (Kaplan 1958) curves using a logrank test.
Measure:Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)
Time Frame:At 24 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed among patients undergoing 12-core biopsy. Will be compared using a chi-square test.
Measure:Time to local/regional or distant progression
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Cumulative incidence curves will be compared using the Fine-Gray test (Dignam 2008).
Measure:Time to distant metastases
Time Frame:From randomization until detection of distant metastatic disease, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Cumulative incidence curves will be compared using the Fine-Gray test (Dignam 2008).
Measure:Biochemical Progression-Free Survival
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be defined as PSA >= 2 ng/ml over the nadir PSA, the presence of local, regional, or distant recurrence, or death from prostate cancer. Will consist of comparison of Kaplan-Meier (Kaplan 1958) curves using a logrank test.
Measure:Incidence of Adverse Events (Phase II)
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Adverse event (AE) rates in the two treatment arms will be summarized by time of occurrence (early versus late), type, grade, and attribution to treatment. For each type of AE, the worst grade occurring during the early treatment period, late treatment period, or entire treatment period will be determined. For each time period, treatment group comparisons will be conducted using chi-square or Fisher exact tests.
