First seen Feb 11, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tested a combination of two drugs, apalutamide and abiraterone acetate, plus prednisone, in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer that had spread. The goal was to see if the combo could slow cancer growth. Only 7 people enrolled before the study was stopped early, so results are limited. Participants had to continue hormone therapy and take prednisone to manage side effects.
