Can green tea and quercetin boost chemo for advanced prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT06615752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding natural products green tea and quercetin to standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) can improve treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. About 99 participants will receive either the natural supplements or a placebo alongside chemo. Researchers will monitor safety and effectiveness by measuring PSA levels and tumor changes.
