BRCAAway: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Abiraterone, Olaparib, or Abiraterone + Olaparib in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With DNA Repair Defects

Investigation of Treatments for Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer with DNA Repair Defects

Recruiting
18 years and older
Male
Phase N/A

This study investigates treatments for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have DNA repair defects. The purpose is to assess the effectiveness of two drugs that are approved by the US FDA, both individually and in combination. Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is a type of prostate cancer that continues to grow even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels. DNA repair defects refer to problems in the body's ability to fix damaged DNA, which can affect cancer growth.

Participants in this study may receive one of the following: abiraterone with prednisone, olaparib, or a combination of abiraterone/prednisone with olaparib. A placebo is not mentioned in this study. The study aims to measure progression-free survival (PFS), which is the length of time during and after treatment that a patient lives with the disease without it getting worse.

  • Who can participate: Men aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma are eligible to participate. For a full list of criteria, please refer to the study's official page.
  • Study details: Participants will receive either investigational medications or a combination of these treatments. The study focuses on assessing the effectiveness of these treatments in individuals with specific DNA repair defects.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
