Estrogen patch for men with metastatic prostate cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether an estrogen patch can improve quality of life for men with prostate cancer that has spread. It may be an option if you haven't started certain hormone treatments yet.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if adding high doses of testosterone to standard chemotherapy (etoposide and carboplatin) can make the chemo work better in men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to other treatments. It aims to see if this approach can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether using the usual medicines for metastatic prostate cancer, plus a definitive local treatment to the prostate, improves outcomes. It may help determine if treating the prostate directly can benefit people whose cancer has not worsened after initial hormone-based treatment.
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (FDG-PET) to find and treat only the spots where cancer has spread with targeted radiation can help men with prostate cancer that has spread but still responds to hormone therapy. It compares standard treatment alone to standard treatment plus this targeted radiation.
This study tests whether using an estradiol skin patch along with a supervised exercise program can reduce the side effects of hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy) in men receiving radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer. The goal is to improve quality of life during treatment.
This study tests if a smartphone-based tracking system can help doctors decide when to change treatment for men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread. It uses standard drugs (relugolix and an ARPI) and monitors PSA levels closely.
