Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - olaparib
Treatment: Drugs - abiraterone acetate

Experimental: olaparib plus abiraterone - Olaparib is available as a film-coated tablet containing 100 milligrams (mg) or 150 milligrams (mg) of olaparib. Subjects will be administered olaparib orally at a dose of 300 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid). The initial dosage of 300 milligrams (mg) twice daily will be composed of 2 x 150 milligrams (mg) tablets per dose. The 100 milligrams (mg) and 150 milligrams (mg) tablets will be used to manage dose reductions during the study.

Abiraterone acetate with prednisone or prednisolone will be sourced locally as commercially available materials. Subjects will be administered abiraterone orally at a dose of 1000 milligrams (mg) once daily, in combination with prednisone or prednisolone 5 milligrams (mg) administered orally twice daily.

Placebo comparator: placebo plus abiraterone - Placebo to match olaparib is available as a film-coated tablet in 100 milligrams (mg) or 150 milligrams (mg). Subjects will be administered placebo orally at a dose of 300 milligrams (mg) twice daily (bid). The initial dosage of 300 milligrams (mg) twice daily will be composed of 2 x 150 milligrams (mg) tablets per dose. The 100 milligrams (mg) and 150 milligrams (mg) tablets will be used to manage dose reductions during the study.

Abiraterone acetate with prednisone or prednisolone will be sourced locally as commercially available materials. Subjects will be administered abiraterone orally at a dose of 1000 milligrams (mg) once daily, in combination with prednisone or prednisolone 5 milligrams (mg) administered orally twice daily.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form and in the study protocol.
2. Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent form prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses.
3. For inclusion in i) the optional exploratory genetic research and ii) the optional biomarker research, patients must fulfill the following criteria:

* Provision of informed consent for genetic research prior to collection of sample.
* Provision of informed consent for biomarker research prior to collection of sample.

If a patient declines to participate in the optional exploratory genetic research or the optional biomarker research, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient. The patient will not be excluded from other aspects of the study.
4. Patients must be =18 years of age (or =19 years of age in South Korea) at the time of signing the informed consent form. For patients enrolled in Japan who are <20 years of age, written informed consent should be obtained from the patient and from his legally acceptable representative.
5. Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma.
6. Metastatic status defined as at least 1 documented metastatic lesion on either a bone scan or a computed tomography(CT)/ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
7. First-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
8. Ongoing androgen deprivation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue or bilateral orchiectomy, with serum testosterone <50 nanograms per decilitre (ng/dL) (<2.0 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L)) within 28 days before randomisation. Patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) at study entry should continue to do so throughout the study.
9. Candidate for abiraterone therapy with documented evidence of progressive disease.
10. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment.
11. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1, with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks.
12. The participant has, in the opinion of the investigator, a life expectancy of at least 6 months.
13. Prior to randomisation, sites must confirm availability of either an archival formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue sample, or a new biopsy taken during the screening window, which meets the minimum pathology and sample requirements in order to enable homologous recombination repair (HRR) status subgroup analysis of the primary endpoint radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). If there is not written confirmation of the availability of tumour tissue prior to randomisation, the patient is not eligible for the study.
14. Male patients must use a condom during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose of olaparib+abiraterone when having sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman or with a woman of childbearing potential. Female partners of male patients should also use a highly effective form of contraception if they are of childbearing potential.
