Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a Phase III, 2-cohort, 2-arm, parallel-group, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, global study, assessing the efficacy and safety of Saruparib + physician’s choice New hormonal agent (NHA ) compared with placebo + physician’s choice NHA in participants with Metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) with and without Homologous recombination repair (mutation). Study details include:

·        The study duration will be up to 90 months.

Study Cohorts, Arms, and Duration:

The study will have 4 periods: HRRm testing, screening, treatment, and follow-up:

• Potential participants will undergo prospective central HRRm testing, which may occur prior to the main screening period based on a separate informed consent (HRRm testing informed consent form). Local HRRm results will not be acceptable. HRRm testing must be completed and have a known result prior to randomisation. Participants will be allocated to 1 of the 2 cohorts (HRRm or Non-HRRm) prior to randomisation to study intervention based on the result of central HRRm testing. Treatment with ADT can be commenced while awaiting HRRm test results, as long as participants are randomised within 14 days to 4 months after start of ADT and no evidence of disease progression is found. It is recommended that results from HRRm testing are available prior to screening, however if necessary HRRm testing and the screening period can be performed in parallel.

In both cohorts, participants will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to one of the following intervention groups:

Saruparib 60 mg + physician’s choice NHA: during the treatment period, participants will receive AZD5305 60 mg orally once daily in combination with physician’s choice NHA in cycles of 28 days.

Placebo + physician’s choice NHA: during the treatment period, participants will receive placebo orally once daily in combination with physician’s choice NHA in cycles of 28 days.

Physician’s choice NHA includes:

1000 mg abiraterone orally once daily with 5 mg prednisolone or prednisone, or

600 mg darolutamide orally twice daily, or

160 mg enzalutamide orally once daily

Randomised participants will continue treatment with Saruparib /placebo in combination with physician’s choice NHA until investigator-assessed disease progression by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) version 1.1 (soft tissue lesions) and/or Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) (bone lesions), unacceptable toxicity occurs, or the participant withdraws consent. The on-treatment visit frequency will be weekly to Q4W

• The treatment period will continue until investigator-assessed disease progression by RECIST 1.1 and/or PCWG3 progression criteria, unacceptable toxicity occurs, or the participant withdraws consent.

• The follow-up period will start after study intervention discontinuation (ie, after both AZD5305/placebo and NHA have been discontinued).

Follow-up of Participants Post Discontinuation of Study Intervention:

After study intervention discontinuation, all participants will undergo a treatment discontinuation visit (within 7 days of discontinuation) and will be followed up for safety assessments 30 days after their last dose of study intervention (ie, the safety follow-up visit).

Participants who have discontinued study intervention in the absence of RECIST 1.1 or. PCWG3-defined radiographic progression by investigator assessment will be followed up with tumour assessments according to the Schedule of Activities (SoA) until investigator-assessed RECIST 1.1 and/or PCWG3-defined disease progression or death, regardless of whether or not the participant started a subsequent anticancer therapy, unless they have withdrawn consent to all study-related assessments.

In addition, after the study intervention discontinuation and safety follow-up visit all participants will be followed up for survival status after study intervention discontinuation every 16 weeks (± 14 days) until death, withdrawal of consent, or the data cut-off (DCO) for the final analysis, whichever comes first, as per the schedule of assessment . Long-term survival follow-up data may be collected in the electronic data capture system for up to approximately 2 years after the final formal overall survival (OS) analysis DCO, to allow further exploratory analysis of OS. Participants who discontinue treatment and are in long-term follow-up (after final analysis DCO) should continue survival assessments every 16 weeks during the long-term survival follow-up.
