Shocking the cancer: extreme hormone swings tested for tough prostate cases

NCT ID NCT04558866

Summary

This study is testing a new approach called 'extreme bipolar androgen therapy' for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone treatments. It alternates high doses of testosterone with a drug that blocks testosterone's effects, aiming to confuse and slow the cancer's growth. The trial will measure how long patients live without their cancer getting worse and monitor their quality of life and side effects.
