Summary

This study tested a new combination treatment for men with a type of advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to standard hormone therapy. The treatment uses testosterone (given as shots) along with a drug called olaparib, which blocks cancer cells from repairing damage. The goal was to see if this combination could lower PSA levels, a marker of prostate cancer activity. The study enrolled 36 men and has been completed.
