New cocktail aims to wipe out High-Risk prostate cancer before surgery
NCT ID NCT07027124
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a combination of hormone therapy (Lupron), an androgen blocker (Darolutamide), and an immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) given before and after prostate removal surgery in 40 men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce or eliminate cancer remaining after surgery. Participants must have specific genetic markers from a biopsy to join.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Darolutamide, Pembrolizumab, Leuprolide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could reduce residual cancer after surgery and improve long-term outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause significant side effects and may not improve survival.
