Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding homoharringtonine, a drug from a plant, to standard hormone therapy can better shrink or eliminate prostate cancer before surgery. About 96 men with locally advanced or limited spread prostate cancer will receive either the drug combo or a placebo plus hormones. The main goal is to see if the tumor completely disappears or becomes very small in the removed prostate.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Homoharringtonine (a plant-derived drug) combined with androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a more effective pre-surgery treatment that reduces or eliminates prostate tumors, potentially improving long-term outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 96 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The drug can cause side effects like bone marrow suppression, and the combination may not prove better than standard therapy.
