Clinical Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Olaparib in Chinese Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Who Have Failed Prior Treatment With a New Hormonal Agent and Have BRCA1/2 Mutations

March 31, 2026 updated by: AstraZeneca

A Randomized, Open-label Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Olaparib Versus Enzalutamide or Abiraterone Acetate in Chinese Men With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Who Have Failed Prior Treatment With a New Hormonal Agent and Have BRCA1/2 Mutations (PROfound-CN)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Olaparib compared with standard of care (Enzalutamide or Abiraterone Acetate) in Chinese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have failed prior treatment with a new hormonal agent and have BRCA1/2 mutations.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a Phase IV, randomized, open-label, 2-arm, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of olaparib in Chinese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have failed prior treatment with a new hormonal agent (NHA) and have BRCA1/2 mutations. Approximately 42 subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to olaparib or to investigator's choice of NHA (enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Radiological Progression-free Survival - Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Time Frame: Tumor assessments every 8 weeks (± 1 week) relative to the date of randomization until radiological progression as assessed by BICR or death (median duration of treatment of 9 and 6 months for Olaparib and Investigators Choice of NHA respectively).
rPFS is defined as the time from randomization until the date of objective disease progression (soft tissue or bone) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the patient withdraws from randomized therapy or receives another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression.
Tumor assessments every 8 weeks (± 1 week) relative to the date of randomization until radiological progression as assessed by BICR or death (median duration of treatment of 9 and 6 months for Olaparib and Investigators Choice of NHA respectively).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: Tumor assessments every 8 weeks (± 1 week) from randomisation until radiographic progression assessed by BICR (median duration of treatment of 9 and 6 months for Olaparib and Investigators Choice of NHA respectively).
Confirmed ORR is the percentage of patients with a Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR), in their soft tissue disease per (RECIST v1.1), in the absence of progression on bone scan per Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3), confirmed >=4 weeks later. Per RECIST v1.1, CR=Disappearance of all target lesions; PR = >=30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. For each treatment group, confirmed ORR is the number of patients with a confirmed CR or PR divided by the number of patients in the treatment group.
Tumor assessments every 8 weeks (± 1 week) from randomisation until radiographic progression assessed by BICR (median duration of treatment of 9 and 6 months for Olaparib and Investigators Choice of NHA respectively).
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessments continue up to 27 months after the first patient was randomized.
OS is the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.
From the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessments continue up to 27 months after the first patient was randomized.

Prostate-specific Antigen Response
Time Frame: Blood samples for PSA assessment will be collected at baseline and every 4 weeks throughout the treatment phase, including at the study treatment discontinuation visit. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.
Best percentage change from baseline in PSA is defined as the biggest reduction in PSA level compared with baseline (or the smallest increase in the absence of a reduction) taking account of all PSA values collected for each patient.
Blood samples for PSA assessment will be collected at baseline and every 4 weeks throughout the treatment phase, including at the study treatment discontinuation visit. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.
Time From Randomization to Second Progression or Death
Time Frame: Tumor assessments will be performed every 8 weeks (±7 days) after randomization until radiologic progression or death, unless the participant withdraws consent. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.

Tumor assessments will be performed every 8 weeks (±7 days) after randomization until radiologic progression or death, unless the participant withdraws consent. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.
Subsequent Anticancer Therapy
Time Frame: Recorded from post discontinuation of study treatment up to primary data cut off date. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.
Recorded from post discontinuation of study treatment up to primary data cut off date. Assessments continue up to 27 months post first patient enrolled.
