Bladder cancer study halted early: hormone therapy plus chemo tested in just 2 patients

NCT ID NCT05839119

First seen Apr 05, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding a drug called degarelix, which lowers testosterone, to standard chemotherapy could help treat muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Only people whose tumors had testosterone receptors were included. The study was stopped early after enrolling just 2 participants, so no clear conclusions can be drawn about the treatment's effectiveness or safety.
