Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma (pure small cell or pure
             neuroendocrine prostate cancer are not allowed).

          -  Prior radical prostatectomy OR external beam radiation with curative intent (e.g. HiFU
             or partial gland therapies are not acceptable) delivered to prostate. Patients with
             prior radical prostatectomy with positive margins must have undergone salvage or
             adjuvant radiation.

          -  Have newly diagnosed oligometastatic prostate cancer based on molecular imaging (e.g.
             68Ga-PSMA PET/CT or Axumin, excludes FDG-PET). Oligometastatic prostate cancer is
             between 1 and ≤ 5 radiation treatment sites. A site can be up to 5 cm and contain
             multiple lesions.

          -  Newly diagnosed oligometastatic disease requires that no prior image guided radiation
             was given to sites outside of the prostate bed or pelvic lymph nodes that are
             typically treated in the salvage or adjuvant radiation setting.

          -  Patients must have a PSA >0.2 ng/mL (confirmed ≥4 weeks later with subsequent rise)
             for those who underwent radical prostatectomy. For those with prior curative
             radiotherapy, they must meet the Phoenix criteria for progression (nadir of PSA + 2
             ng/mL)

          -  Medically fit for radiotherapy

          -  All molecular positive disease is within an anatomic distribution that (in the view of
             the radiation oncologist) can be treated safely per standard radiation oncology
             principles

          -  Candidate for androgen deprivation therapy (e.g. leuprolide, goserelin, degarelix)
             abiraterone therapy (financial and medical) in view of medical oncology using package
             insert for guidance

          -  Patient must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior
             to administration of study treatment as defined per protocol

          -  Androgen deprivation therapy with or without second generation androgen receptor
             inhibitors or abiraterone (when given to optimize focal therapies like surgery or
             radiation) in the curative setting are allowed as long as testosterone has recovered
             to above 150 ng/dL.

          -  Androgen deprivation therapy (with or without second generation androgen receptor
             inhibitors or abiraterone) for metastatic disease is allowed up to 4 weeks prior to
             registration. If previous ADT was used in curative setting, testosterone recovery must
             be documented (testosterone >150 ng/dL) OR >1 year elapsed from last administration of
             curative attempt ADT before recent ADT was resumed.

          -  ECOG ≤1

          -  Patients must use a condom during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of
             olaparib or abiraterone when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a
             woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of childbearing potential of patients
             on study should also use a highly effective form of contraception.

          -  Capable of giving signed informed consent

        Exclusion Criteria:

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:Male
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Percentage of patients without treatment failure at 24 months
Time Frame:24 months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:Treatment failure is defined as one of the following: New or progressive metastases on Computed Tomogrophy (CT)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) New lesion(s) on bone scan without alternate explanations (e.g. trauma, arthritis) in distribution consistent with prostate cancer metastases, by provider assessment Clinical progression by provider assessment Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) doubling time under 6 months with an absolute final PSA over 1.5 ng/mL

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Percentage of patients with undetectable PSA, testosterone >150 ng/dL and without treatment failure.
Time Frame:Up to 36 months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of patients who achieve an undetectable PSA (PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL) AND have a testosterone >150 ng/dL will be divided by the number of patients treated in the study with a 95% confidence interval (CI). This will be analyzed at 12, 18, 24 and 36 months.
Measure:Rate of obtaining an optimal PSA (PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL)
Time Frame:Up to 36 months months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of patients who achieve an undetectable PSA (PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL) will be divided by the number of patients treated in the study with a 95% CI. This will be analyzed at 12, 18, 24 and 36 months.
Measure:Time to Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) restart
Time Frame:Up to 36 months months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to ADT restart is defined as time from day 0 to restarting of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GNRH) agonist or antagonist. The time to ADT restart may be determined by Kaplan-Meier methods.
Measure:Time to subsequent therapy (e.g. ADT, radiation)
Time Frame:Up to 36 months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to subsequent therapy (e.g. ADT or radiation) will be measured from day 0 to start of therapy and determined by Kaplan-Meier methods.
Measure:Frequency of adverse events grade 3 or higher and attributable to study treatment
Time Frame:Up to 36 months after enrollment
Safety Issue:
Description:Adverse events >= grade 3 and attributable to study treatment (possibly, probably, likely) will be reported by body system, severity and grade, and summarized by different levels of treatment exposure, per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.5.
