New pill aims to stall advanced prostate cancer when hormone drugs fail
NCT ID NCT06636123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an oral drug called GZ17-6.02 in 30 men with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after standard hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the drug can delay cancer growth for at least 6 months. Participants take the drug twice daily with a high-fat meal until the cancer worsens or side effects become too severe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GZ17-6.02
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new oral option to delay cancer progression in men with advanced prostate cancer who have stopped responding to standard hormone therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 30 participants, so it is too soon to know if GZ17-6.02 is effective or safe. Many early-stage drugs do not succeed in larger studies.
