Abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide for early castration prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide can work better (or differently) in men with prostate cancer that is considered “castration-sensitive.” It compares these hormone-blocking treatments to find an approach that controls the cancer more effectively and safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are willing and able to sign a written consent form for the study
- You are 18 years or older
- Your overall health on a disability scale (ECOG) is 0 to 2
- Your prostate cancer is a type called adenocarcinoma, with no signs of “small-cell” features
- You have started or will start hormone treatment to lower testosterone (or you’ve had both testicles removed)
- Your blood, kidney, liver, and potassium levels meet required safety cutoffs

This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone in men whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone lowering treatments. It focuses on people who either did not respond well to abiraterone (poor responders) or did respond (responders), then compares outcomes between treatment groups.
This trial tests a new radioactive drug (177Lu-TLX591) plus standard care against standard care alone for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed on an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor. The goal is to see if this targeted radiation can help control the cancer.
This trial tests whether giving a short course of hormone therapy (apalutamide) along with targeted, high-dose radiation (SBRT) is safe and effective for men with a specific type of intermediate-risk prostate cancer. You may benefit if you fit the exact risk and test criteria.
This study tests a new targeted therapy called inavolisib for men with advanced, hormone-resistant prostate cancer that has spread. The drug may work by blocking a specific pathway that helps cancer grow. Participants must have already tried one second-generation hormone therapy and have a tumor sample available for testing.
This study tests a new form of abiraterone (a hormone therapy) against the standard one in men whose prostate cancer has spread and no longer responds to usual hormone treatment. Participants must have had limited prior treatments and be in decent overall health.
