NCT ID NCT03069937

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

Summary

This study looked at whether giving chemotherapy (docetaxel) before starting hormone therapy (degarelix) helps men with prostate cancer that has spread. 52 men took part. The main goal was to see how many had very low PSA levels after 10 months. The approach aims to improve disease control, but ongoing treatment is still needed.
