Abstract

Background Preclinical data suggest synergistic antitumor activity when a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) is combined with an androgen pathway inhibitor. The addition of a PARPi to abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP) shows improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) versus AAP alone in patients with mCRPC regardless of the presence of DNA repair gene defects (DRD).1 Interim results from a phase 1 study2 support safety and tolerability of a combination of niraparib 200mg plus AAP in patients with mCRPC. The objective of this Phase 3 study is to compare the efficacy and safety of niraparib plus AAP versus AAP with placebo as first-line therapy for mCRPC. Trial design The multicenter glo..
