NCT ID NCT04943536
First seen Mar 02, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether placing bicalutamide implants directly into the prostate can replace standard hormone therapy (ADT) in men with localized prostate cancer who also receive radiation. About 20 participants with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer will receive the implants and then radiation. The goal is to see if this local approach is safe and feasible, potentially avoiding the side effects of whole-body hormone treatment.
