Homoharringtonine plus hormone therapy before prostate surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding a drug called homoharringtonine (a type of chemotherapy) to standard hormone therapy before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for men with certain stages of prostate cancer. It's for men who haven't had any previous treatment and plan to have their prostate removed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You must have prostate cancer confirmed by biopsy or other test.
- Your cancer must be either high-risk or very high-risk localized, spread only to nearby lymph nodes, or spread to other parts of the body.
- You must be able to carry out daily activities without help (ECOG score 0 or 1).

This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
This trial tests whether combining four drugs (chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and a new medicine) before surgery can help men with aggressive prostate cancer. The goal is to shrink tumors and improve outcomes before the prostate is surgically removed.
This trial tests giving a new hormone-blocking drug (darolutamide) plus standard hormone therapy before surgery for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread. The goal is to see if this approach improves outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) before surgery can improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. You will receive a special PSMA PET/CT scan to see how the cancer responds.
This trial tests whether removing the prostate (surgery) plus standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy can help men whose prostate cancer has spread to many places in the body. It is for men who have not yet had treatment for their cancer.
This study tests a combination of three treatments (darolutamide, docetaxel, and hormone therapy) given before surgery for men with locally advanced prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective in shrinking the cancer before surgery.
