Genetic test could match men to more effective cancer drug
NCT ID NCT02955082
Summary
This study is testing whether a genetic test can identify men with advanced prostate cancer who are most likely to benefit from a specific chemotherapy drug called carboplatin. It involves two parts: first, screening patients for specific inherited genetic changes, and second, treating those with the changes to see how well their cancer responds. The goal is to learn if a person's genetic makeup can help doctors choose more personalized and effective treatments.
