Can a lower dose of prostate cancer drug work just as well?
NCT ID NCT05276492
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether men with prostate cancer could take a lower dose of the drug abiraterone (combined with prednisone) and still control their cancer. About 50 men who had never taken abiraterone before were enrolled. The goal was to find the smallest dose that still lowers hormone levels and keeps PSA in check, potentially reducing side effects. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
