Prostate Cancer

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerable dose of niraparib when combined with prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), abiraterone, leuprolide, and prednisone (the phase 1 portion of the study) and determine 3-year biochemical PSA recurrence free-survival with this treatment approach (the phase 2 portion of the study).

Exclusion criteria

Prostate gland size \>80 cc measured by ultrasound or MRI 4. Prominent median lobe assessed by treating physician 5. Lack of tissue from biopsy to be sent for correlative studies 6. Any prior treatment for prostate cancer (incudes history of TURP within 5 years of enrollment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or anti-androgen therapy) 7. Prohibited within 30 days prior to administration to study treatment: spironolactone and other investigational drug therapies. 8. Prohibited 3 months before participant registration and during administration of study treatment: non-steroidal anti-androgens (e.g., bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide), steroidal antiandrogens (megestrol acetate, cyproterone acetate), oral ketoconazole, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, estrogens, radiopharmaceuticals. 9. History of prior pelvic radiation therapy 10. Concurrent treatment with strong CYP3A4 inducers such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital 11. Enrollment concurrently in another investigational drug study within 1 month of registration 12. History of another active malignancy within the previous 3 years except for adequately treated skin cancer or superficial bladder cancer 13. History of or active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis 14. Contraindication to or inability to tolerate MRIs 15. Patients with severe depression 16. Uncontrolled diabetes or known HbA1c\>10 17. Any gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption 18. Active pituitary or adrenal dysfunction 19.

A known hypersensitivity to niraparib, abiraterone acetate, leuprolide, and/or prednisone 25. Active infection or other medical condition that would be a contraindication to prednisone use 26. Patients with known active hepatitis or chronic liver disease including cirrhosis 27. Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in this study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose-limiting toxicities (Phase 1)Up to 112 days after initial dose of niraparibThe proportion of patients at each dose level with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), defined as any treatment related grade 3-5 adverse event experienced within the first 4 treatment cycles (112 days), assessed per NCI's CTCAE version 5.0.
Proportion of patients experiencing biochemical failureUp to 3 years after first dose of niraparibChange in PSA level from the beginning of study treatment for up to 3 years later will determine the biochemical failure rate. Biochemical failure will be defined using the Phoenix definition of the PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in health related quality of lifeFrom baseline up to 3 years after last dose of niraparibAssessed via EPIC-26 questionnaire
Proportion of patients with undetectable post-treatment PSAMeasured during the end of the 6th cycle of therapy (during week 24 +/- 7 days)Undetectable PSA will be defined as a PSA ≤0.1 ng/mL.
Proportion of patients with distant metastasesUp to 5 years after first dose of niraparibDistant metastases will be defined as any clinical or radiographic evidence of lymph node, bone, or visceral involvement of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer specific survivalUp to 5 years after first dose of niraparibProstate cancer specific survival will be defined as the duration of time from the start of treatment to death attributable to prostate cancer. Patients who have not died or die of non-prostate cancer related causes will be censored at the last known follow-up or date of death, respectively. Summarized using cumulative incidence or Kaplan-Meier curves as appropriate.
Overall survivalUp to 5 years after first dose of niraparibOverall survival (OS) will be defined as the duration of time from the start of treatment to death from any cause. Patients who have not died will be censored at the last known follow-up.Summarized using cumulative incidence or Kaplan-Meier curves as appropriate.
