A Multi-Center Trial of Androgen Suppression With Abiraterone Acetate, Leuprolide, PARP Inhibition and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer

A Multi-Center Trial of Androgen Suppression With Abiraterone aCetate, LEuprolide, PARP Inhibition and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (ASCLEPIuS): A Phase I/2 Trial in High Risk and Node Positive Prostate Cancer

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerable dose of niraparib when combined with prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), abiraterone, leuprolide, and prednisone (the phase 1 portion of the study) and determine 3-year biochemical PSA recurrence free-survival with this treatment approach (the phase 2 portion of the study).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Any prior treatment for prostate cancer (incudes history of TURP within 5 years of enrollment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or anti-androgen therapy)
  • Prohibited within 30 days prior to administration to study treatment: spironolactone and other investigational drug therapies.
  • Prohibited 3 months before participant registration and during administration of study treatment: non-steroidal anti-androgens (e.g., bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide), steroidal antiandrogens (megestrol acetate, cyproterone acetate), oral ketoconazole, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, estrogens, radiopharmaceuticals.
  • History of prior pelvic radiation therapy
  • Concurrent treatment with strong CYP3A4 inducers such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, phenobarbital
  • Enrollment concurrently in another investigational drug study within 1 month of registration
  • History of another active malignancy within the previous 3 years except for adequately treated skin cancer or superficial bladder cancer
  • Major surgery within 1 month of registration

Other illness

  • Clinical or radiographic evidence of distant metastatic disease by CT/bone scan
  • Clinical or radiographic evidence of high probability of clinical T4 disease
  • History of or active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis
  • Any gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption
  • Patients with significant cardiovascular disease potentially including severe / unstable angina, recent history of myocardial infarction, clinically significant heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, venous thromboembolic events, clinically significant arrhythmias)
  • Uncontrolled hypertension with persistently elevated systolic blood pressure \>160 mmgHg or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg despite anti-hypertensive agents.
  • History of myelodysplastic syndrome or leukemia
  • A known hypersensitivity to niraparib, abiraterone acetate, leuprolide, and/or prednisone
  • Active infection or other medical condition that would be a contraindication to prednisone use
  • Patients with known active hepatitis or chronic liver disease including cirrhosis
  • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in this study

Lab values

  • Uncontrolled diabetes or known HbA1c\>10
  • Prolonged QTc \>450 ms or any ECG changes that interfere with QT interval interpretation

Other
