QUEST Trial Summary

This trial is testing different doses of a new cancer drug, and how well it works with other drugs, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and is resistant to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who've had disease progression during treatment with abiraterone acetate and PARPi, or stopped these treatments due to side effects. They must have a good performance status (able to carry out daily activities) and resolved any previous treatment toxicities to an acceptable level. Participants should not donate sperm during the trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing combinations of Niraparib with other drugs like Prednisone, Cetrelimab, and Abiraterone acetate in different doses for treating advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find the best dose for phase 2 trials, assess how well tumors respond, check safety, and understand how Niraparib and Abiraterone are absorbed together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, low blood counts that can increase infection risk or cause bleeding problems; heart issues; liver function changes; shortness of breath; rash; muscle pain; insomnia; headache; coughing.

QUEST Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Combination 3: Niraparib + AA-PExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will be assigned to one of three cohorts to receive AA-P with or without niraparib. Participants in the Treatment Phase of this combination will be offered the option to enter the Long-term Extension Phase of the study.
Group II: Combination 2: Dose Expansion: Niraparib + AA-P (Part 2)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will be assigned to one of 4 cohorts based on biomarker status - Cohort 2A (BRCA biallelic loss), 2B (other DRD biallelic loss), 2C (BRCA monoallelic loss), or 2D (other DRD monoallelic loss), and will receive niraparib 200 mg once daily in combination with abiraterone acetate 1000 mg (4*250 mg) plus 10 mg prednisone (5 mg twice daily) throughout treatment phase. Participants in the Treatment Phase of this combination will be offered the option to enter the Long-term Extension Phase of the study.
Group III: Combination 1:Dose Selection: Niraparib + cetrelimab (Part 1)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Dose regimen 1: The participants will receive niraparib 200 milligram (mg) orally once daily in combination with cetrelimab 240 mg intravenously (IV) once every 2 weeks. Dose regimen 2: The participants will receive niraparib 200 mg orally once daily in combination with cetrelimab 480 mg IV once every 4 weeks in 28-day treatment cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or the sponsor terminates the study. The safety evaluation team (SET) will determine if an additional cohort is necessary, based on the data from dose regimens 1 and 2. Participants in the Treatment Phase of this combination will be offered the option to enter the Long-term Extension Phase of the study.
Group IV: Combination 1:Dose Expansion: Niraparib + cetrelimab (Part 2)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be assigned to either Cohort 1A (Biomarker [BM] positive [+]) or Cohort 1B (BM negative [-]) and will receive established RP2D of cetrelimab and niraparib, in Part 2 until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or the sponsor terminates the study. A futility analysis will be performed for the Cohort 1B after 10 BM- participants are enrolled in Part 2. This cohort will be closed if the response is less than predetermined response rate as outlined in the protocol. Participants in the Treatment Phase of this combination will be offered the option to enter the Long-term Extension Phase of the study.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What are researchers hoping to discover through this clinical trial?

"The primary outcome of this trial, which will be measured over a Up to Day 28 time frame is Part 2: Combinations 1: Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs). Secondary outcomes include Part 2: Combination 1: Overall Survival (OS) which is defined as OS is defined as time from start of treatment to death from any cause., Part 2: Combination 1: Duration of Objective Response which is defined as Duration of objective response is defined as time from complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to radiographic progression of disease (PD), unequivocal clinical progression, or death, whichever occurs first"
