AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Histologically confirmed prostate cancer (mixed histology is acceptable, with the exception of the small cell pure phenotype, which is excluded)
* Received a taxane-based chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with evidence of disease progression on or after treatment, or discontinued from a taxane-based chemotherapy due to an adverse event
* Received a second-generation or later androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy (for example, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, enzalutamide, apalutamide) for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with evidence of disease progression or non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with evidence of subsequent metastasis
* Biomarker-positive by at least one of the following criteria: (a) Biallelic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-repair anomaly based on a sponsor validated blood or tissue assay; (b) Germline pathogenic Breast Cancer gene (BRCA) 1 or BRCA2 by any test (somatic local results must be confirmed as positive by the sponsor-validated assay before dosing)
* Progression of metastatic prostate cancer in the setting of castrate levels of testosterone or history of bilateral orchiectomy at study entry
Exclusion Criteria:
* Prior treatment with a poly (adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\] ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor
* Prior platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer
* Known history or current diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
