Study Summary

This trial is testing different strengths and formulations of niraparib and abiraterone acetate to see how well they are absorbed by the body.

Who is the study for?
Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who may benefit from the study treatments. Participants should be able to continue hormone therapy if not surgically castrated, have a performance status indicating they are relatively active and can care for themselves, and must provide a tumor sample for genetic testing.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is examining different strengths and formulations of Niraparib and Abiraterone Acetate (AA) under modified fasted conditions to see how well the body absorbs them in men with mCRPC. The study has multiple periods to assess relative bioavailability and bioequivalence.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, anemia, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, liver function changes, joint pain or swelling, high blood pressure, hot flushes or skin rash.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What objectives is the research team hoping to achieve from this investigation?

"As stated by the trial sponsor, Janssen Research & Development, LLC, the primary outcome of this study will be Maximum Observed Analyte Concentration at Steady State (Cmax,ss) of Niraparib and Abiraterone acetate over a Pre-dose to 24 hours post dose period. Additionally, secondary outcomes such as Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve from Time Zero to 72 Hours (AUC [0-72h]) of Niraparib and AA in Period 1; Number of Participants with Adverse Events by Severity graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria"

Answered by AI

Are there other investigations that have been conducted with Niraparib?

"Currently, 457 studies are investigating the efficacy of Niraparib with 110 in Phase 3. Though many trials for this drug take place in Duarte, California, there is an extensive network of 19255 clinical trial sites worldwide conducting research on its potential benefits."

Answered by AI

To what extent is this study populated with volunteers?

"Unfortunately, this clinical trial has ceased recruiting new participants. The posting was initially published on November 13th 2020 and recently modified on the 22nd of Novemeber 2022. However, those exploring other studies may find 1252 trials actively enrolling patients with prostate cancer and 457 research projects currently accepting candidates for Niraparib treatment."

Answered by AI

Does this research endeavor currently have openings for participants?

"This clinical trial has closed its recruitment window. It was initially posted on November 13th 2020 and concluded accepting applications on November 22nd 2022. Alternatively, there are presently 1252 medical studies enrolling patients with prostate cancer and 457 trials recruiting for Niraparib treatment."

Answered by AI

What potential hazards could arise from the utilization of Niraparib?

"As this is a Phase 1 trial, and therefore has limited data regarding efficacy and safety, our team at Power estimated the safety of Niraparib to be rated a 1."

Answered by AI

In what medical contexts is Niraparib typically utilized?

"Potential ailments that can be managed using Niraparib include thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, and various malignancies."
