Saruparib in Combination With Physician’s Choice of ARPI in Patients With mHSPC Previously Treated With Docetaxel or 177Lu-PSMA Therapy Without Disease Progression and PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL (EvoPAR-PR05)
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, 2-Cohort, Phase III Study of Saruparib Combined With Physician's Choice of Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitor in Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer, Previously Treated With Docetaxel or PSMA-directed 177Lutetium-Containing Therapy Without Disease Progression, and With Prostate-Specific Antigen ≥ 0.2 ng/mL: EvoPAR-Prostate05
About This Trial
- This clinical trial is testing whether adding an experimental pill called saruparib to standard hormone treatment works better than standard treatment alone to slow or stop cancer growth.
- It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body but still responds to hormone-blocking therapy.
- To qualify, you must have completed chemotherapy or a specific targeted radiation treatment within the last six months without your cancer worsening, and your PSA level must still be detectable.
- Before joining, you should know that you will be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or an inactive dummy pill (placebo), taken alongside standard hormone medicine.
- You will also need to provide blood and previous tumor tissue samples so doctors can check for specific genetic features.
More Information
- The primary objective of this study is to measure efficacy of saruparib + physician's choice of ARPI compared with placebo + ARPI in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who have previously received docetaxel chemotherapy or a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-directed lutetium-177 radioligand therapy with no evidence of disease progression and PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL.

Full Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Participant must be ≥ 18 at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Histologically documented diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma that is de novo or recurrent and hormone-sensitive.
- Metastatic disease confirmed prior to initiation of previous treatment with docetaxel or Lu-PSMA-containing regimens for mHSPC.
- Previous treatment with docetaxel (IV, Q3w)- or Lu-PSMA (IV, Q6w) with last dose within past 6 months.
- Participants must have the following:
- Must be receiving ADT with a GnRH analogue or has undergone bilateral orchiectomy.
- Had no evidence of disease progression
- Had all toxicities related to docetaxel- or Lu-PSMA-containing treatment (except for alopecia and peripheral neuropathy) resolved to CTCAE Grade 1 or lower.
- PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL within 14 days prior to randomization.
- Serum testosterone 2 weeks) severe cytopenia due to any cause (eg, ANC< 0.5 × 10^9/L or platelets < 50 × 10^9/L)
- Any known predisposition to bleeding (eg, active peptic ulceration, recent [within6 months] hemorrhagic stroke, proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
- Spinal cord compression or brain metastases unless asymptomatic and stable.
- History of MDS/AML or with features suggestive of MDS/AML
- History of another primary malignancy, with some exceptions.
- Any chronic gastrointestinal diseases or conditions including inability to swallow the formulated product that would preclude adequate absorption of any study drug.
- History of seizure or predispose to seizure, including any history of loss of consciousness or transient ischemic attack within 12 months of enrolment.
- Serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection.
- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of the first dose or an anticipated need for major surgery during the study.
- Switched ARPI agent in previous treatment for mHSPC due to disease progression. Note: if the ARPI agent was switched due to any reason other than disease progression and switch was prior to ICF signature, participants will be eligible.
- Any prior treatment with a PARPi or platinum chemotherapy.
