New study tests fasting and Weight-Loss drugs to shield hearts during prostate cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07202247
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at two ways to protect the heart and metabolism in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy (ADT). ADT can increase the risk of heart problems. The study compares time-restricted eating (a form of intermittent fasting) and two GLP-1 drugs (semaglutide and tirzepatide) against a standard heart-healthy diet. About 60 men will take part to see which approach best lowers heart disease risk.
