New prostate cancer trial aims to cut fatigue with personalized drug plan
NCT ID NCT06274047
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests whether personalizing apalutamide treatment based on cancer aggressiveness can reduce fatigue and other side effects in men with prostate cancer who have detectable PSA after prostatectomy. About 120 participants will receive either standard therapy or a personalized apalutamide regimen alongside radiation and hormone therapy. The goal is to improve quality of life without compromising cancer control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Apalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more personalized treatment approach that reduces fatigue and other side effects for men with prostate cancer after surgery and radiation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but it is still experimental. The personalized approach may not improve quality of life as hoped, and side effects from apalutamide and ADT can still occur.
