Summary

This trial tests whether a wearable device that delivers a cooling sensation on the wrist can reduce the burden of hot flashes in men with prostate cancer who are on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). About 66 participants will be randomly assigned to use the device right away or after a 6-week delay. The study measures how much hot flashes interfere with daily life using a standard questionnaire.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a wearable thermal device that delivers a cooling sensation on the wrist
What this could lead to
If effective, this non-drug approach could offer a simple, side-effect-free way to manage hot flashes in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 66 participants, and the device is not yet proven for this specific use. Results may not apply to everyone, and the cooling effect may not be strong enough for severe symptoms.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 66 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a clinical or pathologic confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer * Patients must be undergoing treatment with standard androgen deprivation therapy (i.e., GnRH agonist or antagonist) for ≥ 4 weeks. Patients must remain on ADT for the duration of the study (12 weeks); they may receive treatment with an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI), radioligand therapy, or immunotherapy combined with ADT. * Patients must report bothersome hot flash symptoms (defined as ≥ 28 hot flashes per week, perceived to be at least moderately bothersome to the patient), during a period of at least 30 days prior to entering the study. * Age ≥18 years. * ECOG performance status ≤ 2 * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant and nursing women are excluded as prostate cancer is a disease of men. * Participants with a concurrent diagnosis, including separate malignancy, that may limit life expectancy \< 6 months. * Systemic antineoplastic therapy besides approved ARPI, radioligand therapy, and immunotherapy - enrollment in a clinical trial that is using SOC therapeutic options in these categories is allowed.
