Who could take part
eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * HRR gene alteration (as identified by the sponsor's required assays) as follows: 1. Cohort 1: positive for HRR gene alteration 2. Cohort 2: not positive for DRD (that is, HRR gene alteration) 3. Cohort 3: eligible by HRR status * Metastatic disease documented by positive bone scan or metastatic lesions on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) * Metastatic prostate cancer in the setting of castrate levels of testosterone less than or equal to (\<=) 50 nanogram per deciliter (ng/dL) on a gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) or bilateral orchiectomy * Able to continue GnRHa during the study if not surgically castrate * Score of \<= 3 on the brief pain inventory-short form (BPI-SF) question number 3 (worst pain in last 24 hours) Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with a poly (adenosine diphosphate \[ADP\]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor * Systemic therapy (that is, novel second-generation AR-targeted therapy such as enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide; taxane-based chemotherapy, or more than 4 months of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone \[AAP\] prior to randomization) in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) setting; or AAP outside of the mCRPC setting * Symptomatic brain metastases * History or current diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) * Other prior malignancy (exceptions: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer in situ currently in complete remission) \<= 2 years prior to randomization, or malignancy that currently requires active systemic therapy

  1. description
    Participants with L1 metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene alteration will receive combination of niraparib 200 milligrams (mg) or matching placebo and abiraterone acetate (AA) 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg. In the open label extension (OLE) phase participants earlier receiving the combination of niraparib and AAP may continue to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg and those receiving placebo and AAP may cross over depending on the outcome of study to receive open-label combination of niraparib 200 mg and AA 1000 mg plus prednisone 10 mg.

primary Outcomes
  1. description
    As per BICR, rPFS is time interval from the date of randomization to radiographic progression or death, whichever occurred first. Radiographic progression was determined by: (1) progression of soft tissue lesions measured by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1; (2) Progression of bone lesions observed by bone scan based on prostate cancer working group 3 (PCWG3) criteria. PCWG3 criteria: bone progression was confirmed by subsequent scan greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 weeks later. Week 8 scan was baseline to which all subsequent scans were compared to determine progression. Confirmatory scan \>=2 new lesions indicate progression; scan does not show \>=2 new lesions means no progression. If Week 8 scan less than (\<) 2 new bone lesions compared to baseline, the initial scan \>=2 new lesions compared to Week 8 scan indicates progression if confirmed by subsequent scan \>=6 weeks later.
