Can a cancer vaccine plus hormone drugs slow prostate cancer?

NCT ID NCT05751941

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding the immune-boosting drug Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) to standard hormone therapy can help men with advanced prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormones alone. The trial involves 26 participants who will receive either Sipuleucel-T alone or with continued hormone drugs. The goal is to see if the combination activates the immune system more effectively.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) combined with new hormonal agents (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could improve immune system activation against prostate cancer, potentially delaying disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 26 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment may not improve outcomes and could cause side effects from the drugs or infusion.
