Summary

This study tests whether the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen can lower high PSA levels in men. High PSA often leads to prostate biopsies, but inflammation can also raise PSA. The trial will enroll 200 men with elevated PSA but no known prostate cancer, giving them ibuprofen to see if their PSA drops. If successful, it could help avoid unnecessary procedures.
