First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether simvastatin, a common cholesterol medication, can help the immune system better attack prostate cancer. Men with localized prostate cancer who are planning to have surgery will be randomly assigned to take simvastatin for 8 weeks before their operation or to receive standard care. Researchers will then compare immune activity in the removed prostate tissue to see if the statin made a difference.
