Using organoid testing to guide treatment for advanced prostate cancer
Official title: A Prospective, Open-label, Single-arm Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Organoid-Based Drug Sensitivity Screening to Guide the Treatment of mCRPC Patients With Bone Metastasis Progressed After First-line Treatment
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06529549 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if using lab-grown mini tumors from prostate cancer patients can help doctors choose better treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer that hasn't responded to initial therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adult males aged 18 to 75 with confirmed mCRPC who have progressed after first-line treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently undergoing other anti-tumor therapies or those with severe concurrent illnesses may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the efficacy and safety of organoid-based drug sensitivity screening in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed after first-line treatment. The study aims to determine if treatment decisions based on organoid screening results lead to improved patient responses. Participants will provide residual tissue from previously collected bone metastasis biopsies for organoid culture, which will be used to assess drug sensitivity. The study focuses on adult males aged 18 to 75 with documented mCRPC.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more personalized and effective treatment options for patients with advanced prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While organoid-based drug sensitivity screening is a novel approach, similar methodologies have shown promise in other cancer types, indicating potential for success.
