New pill offers hope for men with Tough-to-Treat prostate cancer

NCT ID NCT05081193

Summary

This study tested a new approach for men whose prostate cancer has spread and stopped responding to standard hormone-blocking treatments. Researchers gave participants a high-dose oral testosterone pill in a one-week-on, one-week-off cycle for three months to see if it could shrink tumors. If the cancer progressed, patients switched to a different drug called enzalutamide to see if the initial treatment made the cancer more sensitive to it.
