Could a PARP inhibitor slow prostate cancer recurrence?

NCT ID NCT03047135

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests the drug olaparib in 51 men whose prostate cancer has returned after surgery and is at high risk of spreading. Olaparib works by blocking a repair process that cancer cells rely on, especially those with certain DNA faults. The main goal is to see if the drug can lower PSA levels by at least half, which would suggest it is controlling the disease.
