• Presence of inactivating mutations in ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 as determined by a CLIA level assay for DNA sequencing.

Exclusion Criteria

• Currently receiving active therapy for other neoplastic disorders will not be eligible.
• Histologic evidence of small cell carcinoma (morphology alone - immunohistochemical evidence of neuroendrocrine differentiation without morphologic evidence is not exclusionary)
• Known parenchymal brain metastasis
• Liver metastases
• Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease AST or ALT > 2.5 x ULN or total bilirubin > ULN (unless Gilbert's syndrome is the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia).

• Patients with pain attributable to their prostate cancer and requiring the use of opioids.
• Tumor causing urinary outlet obstruction that requires catheterization for voiding. Patients that require catheterization to void secondary to benign strictures or other non-cancer causes will be permitted to enroll.
• Presence of dementia, psychiatric illness, and/or social situations limiting compliance with study requirements or understanding and/or giving of informed consent.
• Any condition(s), medical or otherwise, which, in the opinion of the investigators, would jeopardize either the patient or the integrity of the data obtained.
