Gut bug may predict prostate cancer drug response

NCT ID NCT06242509

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a specific gut bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila, can help predict how well men with advanced prostate cancer respond to a common hormone therapy (abiraterone acetate). Researchers will measure the bacteria levels in stool samples before and after treatment. The goal is to see if changes in this bacteria can serve as a simple, non-invasive marker of treatment success. About 52 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer will participate.
