Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of treatments for men with castration sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of sites. The goal is to see if this new combination is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Men with castration sensitive oligometastatic prostate cancer, who are medically fit for radiotherapy and have had prior prostate surgery or radiation. They must not have more than 5 metastatic sites suitable for radiation, no brain metastases, and an ECOG performance status of ≤1. Participants need normal organ function, a rising PSA level post-treatment, and agree to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of focal radiation therapy with systemic hormone therapy (ADT) and chemotherapy drugs Abiraterone and Olaparib in men with limited spread prostate cancer. It's a phase 2 study aiming to see if this treatment can effectively manage the disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea from chemotherapy; hot flashes from hormone therapy; skin irritation from radiation; potential blood disorders; liver function changes due to medication; increased risk of infections.
