Alcohol injection around prostate may stall cancer spread
NCT ID NCT07100847
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study tests whether injecting alcohol around the prostate can block nerve signals that may help cancer grow and spread. Twenty-one men with high-risk prostate cancer who plan to have their prostate removed will receive one or two injections before surgery. Researchers will check if the treatment reduces nerve activity in the prostate and slows cancer progression.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
dehydrated alcohol (ethanol) injected around the prostate
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to slow or stop the spread of high-risk prostate cancer by blocking nerve signals.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 21 people, so it is not yet proven to work. The nerve block may not slow cancer growth and could affect sexual or urinary function.
