• Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
• Participants must have castrate levels of serum testosterone < 50 ng/dL
• Participants without orchiectomy must be maintained on luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist; participants receiving prior docetaxel abiraterone, or next generation AR antagonist (enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide) for hormone sensitive disease are permitted
• Participants must have progressive disease as defined by any of the following:
  • Castrate resistant disease as defined by PCWG-3 criteria; participants must have a rise in PSA on two successive determination at least one week apart and PSA levels >= 2 ng/mL (only the screening PS needs to be >= 2 ng/mL) and serum testosterone < 50 ng/dL

• Participants must have >= 2 bone metastases by radiographic imaging and at least 1 lesion which has not been treated with prior radiation therapy
• Participants must have tumor accessible for biopsy and be agreeable to baseline tumor biopsy; a metastatic focus is preferred but if not available and prostate is still intact prostate biopsy can be performed

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) =< 3 x institutional ULN (within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment)
• Creatinine clearance >= 51 ml/min as defined by Cockcroft-Gault equation (within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment)
• Participants should be receiving an osteoclast targeting agent including either bisphosphonates or denosumab except in patients with contraindications as determined by the treating investigator including:
  • Hypocalcemia
  • Hypophosphatemia
  • Renal impairment including those with a glomerular filtration rate < 35 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation
  • Hypersensitivity to drug formulation
  • Dental condition or need for dental intervention that per the investigator would increase the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw
• The effects of olaparib and radium-223 on the developing human fetus are unknown; for this reason, men treated or enrolled on this protocol must agree to use adequate contraception and avoid sperm donation prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and three months after discontinuation of olaparib and radium-223 administration
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive with negative viral loads on stable antiretroviral regimen and CD4 count > 250 are eligible
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document; patients with impaired decision-making who have a legal guardian (e.g., spouse) able to make informed decisions on behalf of the patient are eligible
• Patients must be able to tolerate oral medications by mouth and not have a gastrointestinal illness that would preclude absorption of olaparib

• Pathology consistent with small cell carcinoma of the prostate
• Presence of visceral metastases (liver, lung, brain, etc.) or malignant lymphadenopathy exceeding 4 centimeters (cm) in short diameter
• Prior treatment with radium-223
• Prior treatment with olaparib or other PARPi
• Treatment with abiraterone, apalutamide, or darolutamide within 2 weeks of treatment initiation; treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy within 3 weeks of treatment initiation; treatment with investigational prostate cancer directed therapy within 4 weeks of treatment initiation; treatment with enzalutamide within 4 weeks of treatment initiation
• Prior hemibody external radiotherapy
• Palliative radiation therapy to the bone or other sites within 2 weeks of treatment initiation
• Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents
• Imminent or established spinal cord compression based on clinical and/or imaging findings
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring need for intravenous anti-microbials, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
• Clinically significant medical condition defined as:
  • Cerebral infarction within 6 months of study treatment
  • Transient ischemic attack within 3 months of study treatment
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months of study treatment
  • Uncontrolled angina within 3 months of study treatment
  • Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4, or subjects with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, or history of anthracycline or anthracenedione (mitoxantrone) treatment, unless a screening echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan performed within 3 months of the screening visit results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is >= 45%
  • History of clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsade de pointes)
  • Prolonged corrected QT interval by the Fridericia correction formula on the screening electrocardiogram (ECG) > 470 msec (as determined on 2 or more time points within a 24 hour period if the first ECG demonstrates a prolonged corrected QT interval) or family history of long QT syndrome
