New adaptive therapy aims to outsmart prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT03511196
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an adaptive approach to hormone therapy for men with stage IV prostate cancer that still responds to hormone treatment. Instead of a fixed schedule, the treatment is adjusted based on PSA levels. The study includes 17 participants and combines standard drugs (abiraterone and prednisone) with a GnRH agonist. The main goal is to see if men can stay on the study for at least a year without their cancer worsening.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with leuprolide, goserelin, or triptorelin, plus abiraterone and prednisone
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a personalized treatment schedule that delays cancer progression while reducing side effects for men with advanced prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1b trial with only 17 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The adaptive approach may not improve outcomes or could lead to faster progression in some cases.
