Phase II Study of Olaparib in Men With High-Risk Biochemically-Recurrent Prostate Cancer Following Radical Prostatectomy, With Integrated Biomarker Analysis

Olaparib has demonstrated preliminary efficacy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate
cancer. In a trial of 49 evaluable patients treated with olaparib, 11 / 49 experienced a PSA
response, and every patient with a radiographic response also had a PSA5 response.

Ten of 11 responders had mutations in DNA repair genes. While PARP inhibition is showing
promise in these initial studies, reserving its use for end-stage patients may not be the
optimal timing for olaparib therapy in some patients. In addition, PARP enzymes function in
roles beyond DNA repair, and specifically for prostate cancer are involved transcriptional
regulation of the androgen receptor. PARP inhibition has not been tested in earlier disease
states for prostate cancer.

The proposed study is an open-label single-arm phase II trial.

Eligible patients are those with non-metastatic biochemically-recurrent prostate cancer and a
PSADT of ≤6 months and a minimum PSA of 1.0.

After enrollment, patients will be treated with olaparib at the established dose of 300mg
tablets by mouth twice daily. Patients will be followed monthly with clinic visits, safety
labs (including CBC w/diff, Comp), PSA, and toxicity assessments. Treatment [with a minimum
drug exposure of 12 weeks] will be continued until PSA doubling from study entry (confirmed
with another measurement at least 4 weeks later), development of radiographic metastatic
disease, or toxicity requiring drug cessation. CT scans and NM bone scans will be performed
every 6 months for patients remaining on olaparib treatment.

This study will enroll up to 50 subjects. The study design will employ a stepwise adaptive
statistical plan, derived in part from Biankin et al, Nature 2015 Oct 15;526(7573):361-70.
The design is adapted from a multi-stage design, with interim stopping rules to determine
futility or need for enrichment of the study population.

The study will initiate with a two-stage design in an unselected population. The assumptions
for the trial of the unselected population are: null hypothesis of 0.1 PSA response rate and
alternative hypothesis of 0.3 for the unselected population. The first stage is 20 subjects.
If ≤2 subjects responds in the first stage, then unselected population study is halted for
futility and an assessment of DNA mutations present in the initial cohort will be undertaken.
If less than 3 subjects with a known/suspected deleterious mutation in the following genes
(ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL, PALB2, PPP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD51C,
RAD51D, or other DNA repair genes) have been accrued in the first stage, then the trial will
proceed with enrichment. If 3 or more subjects with known/suspected deleterious mutation in
the genes of interest have been accrued, then the trial will proceed with enrichment, as long
as the response rate in that subset of subjects is ≥20%. In the case that 3 or more subjects
have been accrued, yet the response rate in that subset is <20%, then the trial is halted for
futility.

However, if ≥3 subjects among the first 20 respond, then additional 10 unselected subjects
are accrued. If ≥6 subjects respond out of 30 in the unselected population after the second
stage, then the null hypothesis is rejected in the unselected population and broad efficacy
will be concluded.

The trial proceeds to complete accrual of 50 subjects in order to better estimate PSA
response rate and strengthen data for correlative studies. If <6 respond, then the null
hypothesis is not rejected. Again, if less than 3 subjects with a known/suspected deleterious
mutation in the following genes (ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDK12, CHEK1, CHEK2, FANCL,
PALB2, PPP2R2A, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, or other DNA repair genes) have been accrued in the
first and second stage combined, then the trial will proceed with enrichment. If 3 or more
subjects with those mutations have been accrued, then enrichment will again proceed as long
as the response rate in that subject of subjects is ≥20%.

prostatectomy specimen to send for genomic and transcriptomic testing.

5. PSADT ≤6 months, based upon ≥3 consecutive measurements collected in the past 12
months, at least 4 weeks apart

6. No radiographic evidence of metastatic disease by CT scan and bone scan, performed
within the prior 4 weeks.

prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:

- Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
