Intense hormone therapy before surgery for advanced prostate cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant intense endocrine therapy in patients with high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer. It involves a multicenter, multi-arm, non-randomized, open-label design where patients receive various forms of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) prior to undergoing prostatectomy. The study aims to compare the outcomes of these therapies against standard ADT alone, focusing on improving treatment efficacy before surgical intervention.
