About This Trial

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate superiority of Saruparib (AZD5305) relative to placebo added to a standard radiation therapy (RT) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) regimen by assessment of metastases-free survival in participants with high-risk and very high-risk localised/locally advanced prostate cancer with a breast cancer gene mutation (BRCAm).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 3 trials confirm efficacy and safety in large patient groups (often 300–3,000+) and form the evidence base for an FDA approval submission. For Prostate Cancer, Phase 3 studies typically randomize participants between the investigational treatment and either a placebo or current standard of care. A successful Phase 3 result is the threshold most treatments need to clear before regulatory approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 700 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Male participants with a histologically documented diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma. - Newly diagnosed high-risk and very high-risk (localised/locally advanced) prostate cancer or a high-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) following radical prostatectomy. - Provision of a formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue sample. - Confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation status by central tumour tissue is required for enrolment. - Participants required to have a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a bone scan following the completion of their planned RT. This screening scan must confirm no evidence of disease or evidence of disease confined to the pelvis (M0). - Participants required to have a prostate-specific membrane antigen-positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) following the completion of their planned RT. This screening scan must confirm no evidence of disease or evidence of disease confined to the pelvis (M0). - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 with no deterioration over the 2 weeks prior to randomization. - Minimum life expectancy of 12 months. - Adequate organ and bone marrow function as described in study protocol. - All participants will have received either primary or salvage RT. Participants must be eligible for randomisation within 10 months of initial diagnosis (de novo or BCR). Radiotherapy administered to the prostate (± pelvis) either in the primary or salvage setting must be delivered with curative intent. Use of metastases-directed therapy, as part of the RT radiation plan, is permitted as localised RT treatment for a metastatic lesion(s) outside the pelvis. - All participants will have received a planned regimen of ADT with a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NCT06952803 clinical trial studying?

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate superiority of Saruparib (AZD5305) relative to placebo added to a standard radiation therapy (RT) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) regimen by assessment of metastases-free survival in participants with high-risk and very high-risk localised/locally advanced prostate cancer with a breast cancer gene mutation (BRCAm). The full protocol is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and includes the primary outcome measures, eligibility criteria, and study endpoints.

Who can participate in NCT06952803?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06952803?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
