Summary

This study tests three treatments in men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has specific DNA repair defects. Participants receive either abiraterone (a hormone blocker), olaparib (a targeted drug), or both together. The goal is to see which approach delays cancer growth best. About 70 men will take part, and the results will help guide future treatment choices.
