Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies the effect of androgen ablation therapy with or without niraparib after standard of care radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized) or that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Androgen ablation therapy (also known as hormone therapy) lowers the levels of male hormones called androgens in the body. Androgens stimulate prostate cancer cells to grow. There are 2 types of androgen ablation therapy given in this study: AAP + ADT and Apa + ADT. AAP + ADT is the treatment combination of the drugs abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP) given with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT, also known as androgen deprivation therapy or androgen suppression medication, which is used as standard of care to lower testosterone levels in men with high risk localized or metastatic prostate cancer). Apa + ADT is the treatment combination of the drug apalutamide (Apa) given with ADT. Androgen ablation therapy with or without niraparib after radiation therapy may help to control the disease in patients with prostate cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Composite radiographic progression-free survival(rPFS) and biochemical (PSA) progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization until progression, death, or last assessment without progression, whichever comes first, assessed at 3 years ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Adverse events will be recorded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 along with date and attribution to study treatment.

  2. Incidence and severity of serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Graded by NCI CTCAE version 5.0.

  3. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until death or last contact, whichever comes first, assessed up to 3 years ]
  4. Eugonadal progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until progression, death, or last assessment without progression, whichever comes first, assessed up to 3 years ]
    Assessed as composite radiographic PFS (rPFS) and biochemical (prostate specific antigen [PSA]) PFS among patients with non-castrate level testosterone. Eugonadal is defined as non-castrate levels of testosterone (> 50 ng/mL).

  5. Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until progression, death, or last assessment without progression, whichever comes first, assessed up to 3 years ]
    Defined as composite rPFS and biochemical (PSA) PFS in those with unfavorable histologic response versus favorable histologic response in men who received maximal androgen signaling ablation prior to definitive radiation. PFS will be calculated from histologic response assessment between Parts 1 and 2.

  • Seizure or known condition that may pre-dispose to seizure (e.g. prior stroke within 1year to randomization, brain arteriovenous malformation, Schwannoma, meningioma, or other benign central nervous system [CNS] or meningeal disease which may require treatment with surgery or radiation therapy)
  • Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to enrollment), symptomatic congestive heart failure, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (e.g., pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), uncontrolled hypertension, or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias within 6 months prior to randomization

    • Avoid co-administration of abiraterone acetate with CYP2D6 substrates that have a narrow therapeutic index. If an alternative treatment cannot be used, exercise caution and consider a dose reduction of the concomitant CYP2D6 substrate
    • Baseline moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B & C)
    • Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study
