Heart-Safe prostate cancer treatment? new trial pits two hormone combos
NCT ID NCT06650579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two different hormone therapy combinations (leuprolide plus abiraterone vs. relugolix plus abiraterone) in men with advanced prostate cancer who are also receiving radiation therapy. The goal is to see which combination causes less damage to the heart and blood vessels. Researchers will use CT scans and blood tests to monitor heart health over time. The trial enrolls 72 men with non-metastatic or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.
