New drug combo shows promise in keeping High-Risk prostate cancer at bay

NCT ID NCT04523207

First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding apalutamide to standard hormone therapy after prostate removal surgery could delay cancer recurrence in 108 men with high-risk, non-spreading prostate cancer. The treatment aims to keep prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels low, a sign that the cancer has not returned. Results showed that most men had no biochemical recurrence at 24 months, suggesting the combination may help control the disease, though long-term management is still needed.
