Creatine and weights may fight muscle loss in prostate cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07463092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether taking creatine supplements while doing supervised weight training for 12 weeks can help men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT) maintain or improve their muscle mass, strength, and physical function. ADT often causes muscle loss and weakness. The study involves 34 men who will either get creatine or a placebo, and all will do resistance exercises. The goal is to find a safe way to improve muscle quality and quality of life.
