NCT ID NCT04943536

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether a bicalutamide implant placed directly into the prostate can replace standard hormone shots for men with localized prostate cancer receiving radiation. About 20 participants with intermediate- or high-risk cancer will receive the implant plus radiation. The goal is to see if this targeted approach is safe and feasible, potentially reducing side effects from whole-body hormone therapy.
