NCT ID NCT05037500

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tested whether adding decitabine/cedazuridine to enzalutamide could help men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer whose cancer had stopped responding to enzalutamide alone. Only 8 men were enrolled before the study was terminated. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combination could reverse drug resistance.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Decitabine and cedazuridine (ASTX727, Inqovi) combined with enzalutamide (Xtandi)

What this could lead to

If it works, this combination could help men with advanced prostate cancer whose disease has stopped responding to enzalutamide alone.

What could go wrong

This was a very early, small Phase 1b trial that was terminated, so results are limited. The combination may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
