New drug combo tested to tame deadly prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT03263650

Summary

This study is testing if adding the drug olaparib after standard chemotherapy helps control a fast-growing, hard-to-treat form of prostate cancer. About 96 men with advanced, aggressive prostate cancer that has spread will receive chemotherapy, then some will receive olaparib pills while others are observed. The main goal is to see if olaparib keeps the cancer from growing longer.
