  • Presence of inactivating mutations in ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 as determined by a CLIA level assay for DNA sequencing.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently receiving active therapy for other neoplastic disorders will not be eligible.
  • Histologic evidence of small cell carcinoma (morphology alone
  • immunohistochemical evidence of neuroendrocrine differentiation without morphologic evidence is not exclusionary)
  • Known parenchymal brain metastasis
  • Liver metastases
  • Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease AST or ALT > 2.5 x ULN or total bilirubin > ULN (unless Gilbert's syndrome is the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia).

  • Patients with pain attributable to their prostate cancer and requiring the use of opioids.
  • Tumor causing urinary outlet obstruction that requires catheterization for voiding. Patients that require catheterization to void secondary to benign strictures or other non-cancer causes will be permitted to enroll.
  • Presence of dementia, psychiatric illness, and/or social situations limiting compliance with study requirements or understanding and/or giving of informed consent.
