Prostate cancer implant could replace systemic hormone shots
NCT ID NCT04943536
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.
