First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a combination of two drugs, apalutamide and abiraterone, along with prednisone, in men whose prostate cancer had spread and stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. The goal was to see if this combination could slow cancer growth. Only 7 men took part before the study was stopped early. The results may help guide future research on treating advanced prostate cancer.
