NCT ID NCT07711314
First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial tests whether the drug rezvilutamide, taken alone for 48 weeks after prostate removal surgery, can prevent cancer from coming back in men at high risk of recurrence. Standard treatment often includes long-term hormone therapy with significant side effects. The study aims to see if this single-drug approach is effective and better tolerated, potentially improving quality of life while keeping cancer at bay.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rezvilutamide tablets
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new, less toxic treatment option for men at high risk of prostate cancer recurrence after surgery, potentially improving survival without the harsh side effects of standard hormone therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. The drug may still cause side effects or fail to prevent cancer recurrence in some patients.
