What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age and Diagnosis: Male patients aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years with histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma. * Disease Stage and Surgery: Localized prostate cancer (assessed by conventional imaging such as CT and bone scan), having undergone radical prostatectomy within 12 weeks prior to enrollment. * Postoperative PSA: Postoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level \< 0.1 ng/mL within 8 weeks after surgery. * Risk Stratification: Postoperative CAPRA-S score ≥ 6, indicating a high risk of recurrence. * Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1. * Adequate Organ Function: Must meet the following laboratory criteria: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L (without blood transfusion or G-CSF within 14 days). 2. Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 90 g/L. Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L. (3) Coagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (without blood product transfusion within 14 days). (4)Creatinine clearance rate ≥ 30 mL/min. (5) Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN. (6) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN. * Radiotherapy Intention: Patients who are unfit for or refuse to receive radiotherapy. * Contraception: Patients of reproductive potential must be willing to use highly effective contraceptive methods during the study and for 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug. I * informed Consent: Capable of understanding and providing written informed consent (ICF) and willing to comply with study requirements and evaluation schedules. Exclusion Criteria: * Histology: Prostate tissue pathology showing neuroendocrine, small cell, or sarcomatoid features. * Metastasis: Preoperative conventional imaging (e.g., CT or bone scan) indicating pelvic lymph node metastasis (cN1) or distant metastasis (cM1). * Prior Therapies: Prior androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (including medical or surgical castration), focal therapy for prostate cancer, or chemotherapy/radiotherapy for prostate cancer. * Prior Novel Hormonal Agents: Prior treatment with second-generation anti-androgens (e.g., abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, darolutamide, etc.). ·Recent Surgery: Major surgery requiring general anesthesia (other than radical prostatectomy) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drug. * Other Malignancies: History of or concurrent other malignancies within the past 2 years, except for cured non-melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder tumors (Ta, non-invasive; Tis, carcinoma in situ; and T1). * Thromboembolic Events: Arterial or venous thromboembolic events (e.g., cerebrovascular accident, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) within the past 6 months, or currently receiving therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin or heparin. * Cardiovascular Conditions: Heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) \> 500 ms; severe cardiovascular disease (myocardial ischemia or infarction grade ≥ II, uncontrolled arrhythmias, NYHA class III-IV heart failure, or LVEF \< 50% on echocardiogram). * Allergies: Known allergy to any study drug or its excipients. * Active Infections/Hepatitis: Active viral hepatitis requiring treatment (HBV DNA ≥ 500 IU/mL for HBV carriers; positive HCV RNA for HCV antibody-positive patients); known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; or any other active infection. * Autoimmune Diseases: Active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment, known history of allogeneic organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant, or long-term high-dose use of corticosteroids or other immunomodulators. * Systemic Diseases: History of interstitial lung disease or uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, acute lung disease). * Seizures: History of epilepsy or conditions that may induce seizures. * Substance Abuse/Compliance: Underlying medical conditions, alcohol/drug abuse, or dependence that would interfere with drug administration, results interpretation, or pose a high risk for complications. * Sperm Donation/Family Planning: Men engaging in sexual activity with women of childbearing potential unwilling to use a condom with spermicide, unwilling to abstain from sperm donation during the study and for at least 3 months after the last dose, or planning to have children during this period. * Concurrent Trials: Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical study
