This trial is for adult men with high-risk or very-high-risk prostate cancer without distant metastases. Regional lymph nodes may be involved; prior hormone therapy is limited to ninety days.

The idea: pembrolizumab releases an immune brake; olaparib blocks PARP-mediated DNA repair. Both join radiation and hormone therapy. The open arm gives seventeen pembrolizumab cycles and olaparib during the first three. The pembrolizumab-only arm is closed. Researchers measure PSA response after radiation.

This phase 2 study plans 64 patients. Zin Myint leads at the University of Kentucky, Lexington, the sole recruiting US site.
