Prostate cancer drug combo gets a formulation check
NCT ID NCT04577833
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how the body absorbs different versions of two prostate cancer drugs, niraparib and abiraterone acetate, taken together with prednisone. It involves 136 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The goal is to compare the absorption of various tablet strengths and forms, not to test if the drugs work against the cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- niraparib and abiraterone acetate (with prednisone)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify the best formulation of these drugs for future use, potentially improving treatment convenience or effectiveness for men with prostate cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial focused on drug absorption, not on curing or controlling the cancer itself. The results may not lead to any direct benefit for participants or change current treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate * Diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), who in the opinion of the investigator may benefit from treatment in this study * Able to continue gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) therapy during the study if not surgically castrate (that is, participants who have not undergone bilateral orchiectomy) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of less than or equal to (\<=) 1 * Willing to provide a tumor sample (archival) for determination of homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alteration status Exclusion Criteria: * Symptomatic brain metastases * Prior disease progression during treatment with abiraterone acetate (AA) alone or when combined with a poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi). Prior discontinuation of treatment with AA or PARPi due to AA- or PARPi related toxicity. * History or current diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/ acute myeloid leukemia (AML) * Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to niraparib or AA or the corresponding excipients of niraparib/AA * Any medical condition that would make prednisone/prednisolone use contraindicated
