Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well niraparib, when given before surgery, works in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) and alterations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathways. Niraparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To assess the impact of neoadjuvant niraparib tosylate monohydrate (niraparib) therapy prior to radical prostatectomy (RP) on pathologic tumor stage, frequency of lymph node metastases and positive margin rates for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for high-risk, clinically localized prostate cancer with alterations in DNA repair pathways.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To assess 5-year biochemical recurrence in subjects with high-risk prostate cancer and DNA-damage response defects after prostatectomy.
OUTLINE:

Patients receive niraparib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Following completion of treatment, patients then undergo standard of care surgery.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Pathologic response rate (pRR) [At the time of radical prostatectomy procedure]

      The study will assess the impact of neoadjuvant niraparib therapy prior to radical prostatectomy (RP) on pathologic tumor stage, frequency of lymph node metastases and positive margin rates for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for high-risk, clinically localized prostate cancer with alterations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair pathways. Pathologic complete response (PCR) defined as no tumor identified on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections will be assessed; minimal residual disease (MRD) will be defined as tumor clusters limited to < 5 mm and confined to prostate gland. Exact 95% confidence intervals for pRR and other binary outcomes will be calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method. Response rates will be compared between patients with biallelic and monoallelic loss using Fisher's Exact Test.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Biochemical prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression free survival [Up to 5 years]

      Median biochemical progression free survival (bPFS) and quartiles (when reached) will be calculated from Kaplan-Meier estimates, and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated using Greenwood's formula.

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    Male
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • Ability to understand and willingness to sign an informed consent form

    • Ability to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

    • Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer that is clinically localized as defined by negative cross-section imaging and/or bone scan, and classified as high or high risk per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline

    • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) score of 0 or 1

    • Life expectancy >= 10 years

    • Men who have selected radical prostatectomy as the primary treatment for their prostate cancer

    • Prostate cancer tumors with alterations in key DNA repair genes identified on Foundation One assay. This will include at least one alteration in a gene involved in DNA repair primarily through the homologous recombination pathway including BRCA1/2, ATM, CDK12, CHEK1/2 FANCA, FANCD2, FANCL, GEN1, NBN, PALB2, RAD51, RAD51c, and BRIP1. Mutations will be selected that are known or likely pathogenic. Mean allele frequencies will be assessed to estimate mono versus biallelic loss of function. Patients with biallelic deletions or mutations will be prioritized for inclusion to make up at least 30% of the enrollment (i.e., 10 patients) to gauge response in this group over monoallelic loss. Final inclusion will be determined by the principal investigator
