NCT ID NCT02454543
First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether removing the prostate gland (radical prostatectomy) along with standard drug therapy helps men with prostate cancer that has spread to a few bones live longer and delay the cancer becoming resistant to treatment. About 452 men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer and limited bone metastases are being followed for up to 10 years. The goal is to see if surgery improves cancer-specific survival, delays progression, and maintains quality of life compared to drug therapy alone.
