Can a new daily pill slow advanced prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT05942001
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 1 trial tests an experimental oral drug called HRS-5041 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, a form of the disease that keeps growing despite hormone therapy. Researchers aim to find the safest dose, measure how the body processes the drug, and look for early signs that it can lower PSA levels or shrink tumors. Participants take HRS-5041 daily in 28-day cycles and may continue until the cancer progresses or side effects become unacceptable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HRS-5041, an oral drug taken daily in 28-day cycles
- What this could lead to
- If HRS-5041 proves safe and shows promise, it could become a new oral treatment option for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial, so the main goals are safety and dosing, not proof of effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to control the cancer in later, larger studies.
