The anti-androgen must be discontinued prior to randomization. 8. Participants who have received prior docetaxel treatment must meet the following criteria: a. Received a maximum of 6 cycles of docetaxel therapy for mCSPC b. Received the last dose of docetaxel <2 months prior to randomization c. Maintained a response to docetaxel of stable disease or better, by investigator assessment of imaging and PSA, prior to randomization. 9. Other allowed prior therapy for mCSPC: a. Maximum of 1 course of radiation or surgical intervention to manage symptoms of prostate cancer. Radiation with curative intent is not allowed. Radiation must be completed prior to randomization. b. <6 months of ADT prior to randomization. c. 30 days of AA-P allowed if required. 10. Allowed prior treatments for localized prostate cancer (all treatments must have been completed ≥1 year prior to randomization): a. ≤3 years total of ADT b. All other forms of prior therapies including radiation therapy, prostatectomy, lymph node dissection, and systemic therapies. 11. Clinical laboratory values at Screening: a. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 x 109/L b. Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL, independent of transfusions for at least 28 days c. Platelet count ≥100 x 109/μL d. Serum albumin ≥3.0 g/dL e. Creatinine < 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) f. Serum potassium ≥3.5 mmol/L g. Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5× ULN or direct bilirubin ≤1 x ULN (Note: In participants with Gilbert’s syndrome, if total bilirubin is >1.5 × ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin, and if direct bilirubin is ≤1.5 × ULN, participant may be eligible as determined by the medical monitor) h. AST or ALT ≤3 × ULN 12. Able to swallow the study medication tablets whole. 13. Must provide informed consent (written or remote/virtual) indicating that he understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study including providing a DNA sample. 14. While on study medication and for 3 months following the last dose of study medication, a male participant must wear a condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person. Male participants should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as condom may break or leak. The investigator should advise of the potential for contraceptive method failure (eg, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study medication. Highly effective methods of contraception include: a. established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system; b. barrier methods: condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository. 15. A male participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction during the study and for a minimum of 3 months after receiving the last dose of study medication. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Pathological finding consistent with small cell ductal or neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate. 2. Prior treatment with a PARP inhibitor. 3.Prior AR-targeted therapy (eg, ketoconazole for prostate cancer, apalutamide, enzalutamide, darolutamide), immunotherapy, or radiopharmaceutical agents with the exception of only 30 days of AA-P allowed prior to randomization. 4. Initiation of treatment with a bisphosphonate or denosumab for the management of bone metastasis < 28 days prior to randomization. 5. History of adrenal dysfunction 6. Long-term use of systemically administered corticosteroids (>5 mg of prednisone or the equivalent) during the study is not allowed. Short-term use (≤4 weeks, including taper) and locally administered steroids (eg, inhaled, topical, ophthalmic, and intra-articular) are allowed, if clinically indicated. 7. Active malignancies (ie, progressing or requiring treatment change in the last 24 months) other than the disease being treated under study. The only allowed exceptions are: a. non-muscle invasive bladder cancer; b. skin cancer (non-melanoma or melanoma) treated within the last 24 months that is considered completely cured; c. breast cancer – adequately treated lobular carcinoma in situ or ductal carcinoma in situ; d. malignancy that is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence. 8. History or current diagnosis of MDS/AML. 9. Current evidence within 6 months prior to randomization of any of the following: severe/unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, clinically significant arterial or venous thromboembolic events (eg, pulmonary embolism), or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias. 10. Presence of sustained uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >160 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure >100 mm Hg). Participants with a history of hypertension are allowed, provided that blood pressure is controlled to within these limits by an antihypertensive treatment. 11. Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the excipients of niraparib, AA, or niraparib/AA FDC (refer to the IBs for niraparib and AA). 12. Current evidence of any medical condition that would make prednisone use contraindicated. 13. Received an investigational intervention (including investigational vaccines) or used an invasive investigational medical device within 30 days before the planned first dose of study medication. 14. Participants who have had the following ≤28 days prior to randomization: a. A transfusion (platelets or red blood cells); b. Hematopoietic growth factors; c.

A change in antiretroviral therapy within 6 months of the start of screening (except if, after consultation with the sponsor on exclusion criterion 16.b, a change is made to avoid a potential drug-drug interaction with the study medication). d. CD4 count <350 at screening. e. An acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-defining opportunistic infection within 6 months of the start of screening. f. Human immunodeficiency virus load > 400 copies/mL. |
