Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adult males aged 19 and older with histologically confirmed castration-resistant prostate cancer who have previously been treated with docetaxel.

Probably not a fit

Patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer or those who have previously been treated with ifosfamide will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of ifosfamide combined with mesna in patients suffering from metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It involves a retrospective analysis of treatment outcomes for patients who have previously undergone standard therapies and are now receiving ifosfamide/mesna as salvage therapy. The study will collect demographic data, disease status, treatment details, and survival information to analyze correlations between clinical indicators and survival rates.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new salvage therapy option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have exhausted standard treatment options.

How similar studies have gone: While there is limited research specifically on ifosfamide/mesna for this condition, other studies have explored various salvage therapies for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, indicating potential for success.
