Olaparib in Treating Patients with High-Risk, Biochemically-Recurrent Prostate Cancer Who Have Undergone Surgery

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase II trial studies how well olaparib works in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer that has had a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after surgery. A rise in the PSA is a sign that there are tumor cells remaining in the body. Olaparib may help lower PSA and may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
