Olaparib with LHRH Agonist Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in the Treatment of Unfavorable Intermediate or High Risk Prostate Cancer with BRCA1/2 Gene Alterations
This phase II trial tests how well olaparib in combination with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (LHRH agonist) works in treating patients with unfavorable intermediate or high risk prostate cancer with BRCA 1/2 gene alterations who are undergoing surgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy). A defect or mutation in a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair gene, BRCA1/2, means that the ability of the DNA to repair the pathway that prevents the cancer from growing is not working. Olaparib is an inhibitor of PARP, an enzyme that helps repair DNA when it becomes damaged. Blocking PARP may help keep tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. LHRH agonists are standard of care drugs for prostate cancer that works by stopping the production of testosterone, a male hormone that can fuel cancer growth. Olaparib with a LHRH agonist may decrease the amount of disease present at time of surgery and decrease the risk of the disease coming back after surgery. By doing this prostate cancer may be inactive for longer period of time.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Assess the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate and minimal residual disease (MRD) rate with neoadjuvant olaparib and an LHRH agonist in patients with germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutations.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA).
II. Evaluate surgical pathologic outcomes at radical prostatectomy (RP).
III. Evaluate residual cancer burden (RCB) at RP.
IV. Evaluate event free survival (EFS).
V. Evaluate treatment free survival (including adjuvant or salvage radiation therapy, antiandrogen therapy [ADT] or other therapies) post RP.
VI. Correlate pathologic response (pCR and/or minimal residual disease [MRD]) with biochemical progression free survival.
VII. Evaluate time to testosterone recovery post RP.
VIII. Evaluate safety and tolerability of therapy.
IX. Evaluate intra- and post-operative complications.
X. Evaluate cardiovascular adverse events.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate quality of life parameters.
II. Correlate baseline clinical and disease characteristics including age of onset and family history of cancer with 1) germline BRCA1/2 gene alteration status and 2) pathologic response.
III. Assess the proportion of patients with downstaging from baseline to pre-RP multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (mpMRI).
IV. Determine if mpMRI can be used to predict pathologic response (defined as pCR and/or MRD) following neoadjuvant hormone therapy.
V. Evaluate tissue based molecular mechanisms of response and resistance to therapy in pretreatment biopsy and RP specimens.
VI. Evaluate blood based biomarkers or response and resistance to therapy (including plasma circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid [cfDNA] parameters, serum hormone levels, and serum drug levels).
OUTLINE:
Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-30 of each cycle and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (LHRH agonist) with either leuprolide, triptorelin or goserelin per institutional standards. Treatment repeats every 30 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo standard of care (SOC) RP with lymph node dissection on study. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT), MRI, bone scan, and/or positron emission tomography (PET) as well as tissue and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days post-operatively and then every 6 months for up to 3 years.
