Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Olaparib compared with standard of care (Enzalutamide or Abiraterone Acetate) in Chinese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have failed prior treatment with a new hormonal agent and have BRCA1/2 mutations.

Detailed description

This is a Phase IV, randomized, open-label, 2-arm, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of olaparib in Chinese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have failed prior treatment with a new hormonal agent (NHA) and have BRCA1/2 mutations. Approximately 42 subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to olaparib or to investigator's choice of NHA (enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate).
