Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests an oral drug called QLG1080 in men with hormone-sensitive advanced prostate cancer. The goal is to see if the drug can safely lower testosterone to castration levels, which helps slow cancer growth. Participants must be eligible for endocrine therapy and able to continue androgen deprivation for at least six months. The study measures how many men maintain castration-level testosterone over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
QLG1080, an oral drug being tested to lower testosterone to castration levels in men with advanced prostate cancer
What this could lead to
If QLG1080 works, it could offer a new oral option to suppress testosterone and help control advanced prostate cancer without injections.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage test in a small group of 111 men. The drug may not maintain castration levels in all patients, and side effects are still being evaluated.
