New study tracks brain and energy side effects of prostate cancer meds
NCT ID NCT07181122
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 102 men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who are taking standard drugs (abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, or darolutamide) plus hormone therapy. Researchers will check thinking skills, fatigue, mood, and sleep at the start, 3 months, and 6 months using simple questionnaires. The goal is to see how these treatments affect daily life and mental function in the real world.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, darolutamide)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors understand how these drugs affect thinking, energy, and mood, leading to better support for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures outcomes without testing a new therapy, so it won't directly improve treatment.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) * Planned initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (abiraterone, apalutamide, or enzalutamide) as part of routine clinical care * Ability to complete patient-reported outcome questionnaires (FACT-Cog, FACT-F, PHQ-9, PSQI) * Written informed consent obtained Exclusion Criteria: * Prior systemic therapy for metastatic prostate cancer (except ≤3 months of ADT) * Known history of severe cognitive impairment that precludes completion of questionnaires * Concurrent active malignancy requiring systemic treatment * Inability to comply with study procedures or follow-up * Any condition judged by the investigator to compromise participation or data integrity
