Could a short drug course keep prostate cancer at bay?

NCT ID NCT03088124

Summary

This study tested if adding a 6-month course of the drug apalutamide to standard 'watchful waiting' (active surveillance) could help men with low-risk prostate cancer. Researchers wanted to see if the drug could slow the cancer's progression and delay the need for more invasive treatments like surgery or radiation. The trial involved 93 men who were randomly assigned to receive either the drug plus surveillance or surveillance alone.
