Olaparib and Durvalumab in Treating Patients with Non-metastatic Prostate Cancer

Trial Status: complete

This phase II trial studies how well combination of olaparib and durvalumab works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other places in the body (non-metastatic). Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body’s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving olaparib and durvalumab may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer compared to the usual treatment for this type of disease (antiandrogen therapy or radiation therapy or observation until PSA progression).
