NCT ID NCT02125617

First seen Jan 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study aimed to see if a substance in the blood called uPAR could help doctors predict whether men with advanced prostate cancer would respond to the drug abiraterone. Only 3 men were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to find a simple blood test to guide treatment decisions, but the small size means no firm conclusions can be drawn.
