Study of Olaparib Maintenance Following Cabazitaxel-Carbo in Men With AVPC

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Male

Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if olaparib, when given after treatment with cabazitaxel, carboplatin, and prednisone, can help to control aggressive variant prostate cancer (AVPC). The safety of these drugs will also be studied.

This is an investigational study. Cabazitaxel and carboplatin are FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of certain types of prostate cancer. Prednisone is FDA-approved and commercially available as a corticosteroid. Olaparib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of certain types of ovarian cancer. The combination of cabazitaxel and carboplatin followed by olaparib in this study is investigational.

The study doctor can describe how the study drugs are designed to work.

Up to 96 participants will be enrolled on this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

• Phase: Phase 2

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures.

2. Provision of informed consent for genetic research. If a patient declines to participate in the genetic research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. The patient will not be excluded from other aspects of the study described in this Clinical Study Protocol, so long as they consent to that part.

3. Patients must agree to tissue collection for correlative studies at the specified timepoints. If patient has undergone a recent tissue collection without intervening treatment since, that can be retrieved and is deemed of sufficient quantity by the PI to undertake the proposed correlative studies, it may be used as the baseline.
