What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Men with prostate cancer often receive androgen deprivation therapy, which can raise the risk of heart problems and metabolic issues. This trial tests whether adding semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, can control cardiovascular risk factors like weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and whether it affects prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. The study enrolls men with prostate cancer who are starting or already on androgen deprivation therapy and have a higher body mass index. Researchers will track side effects, changes in risk factors, and prostate biomarkers over the course of treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist given as a weekly pen injection
What this could lead to
If it works, semaglutide could become a routine way to manage heart and metabolic risks in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 4 trial with 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Semaglutide can cause gastrointestinal side effects, and the trial may not show clear benefits for prostate biomarkers.
