New hope for indian men with advanced prostate cancer: enzalutamide under study
NCT ID NCT03641560
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested the safety and effectiveness of enzalutamide (Xtandi) in 52 Indian men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that had worsened after chemotherapy. Participants took enzalutamide daily while continuing hormone therapy. The main goal was to see how many experienced side effects, and researchers also measured PSA levels to gauge response.
