Using rezvilutamide for prostate cancer recurrence after surgery

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Rezvilutamide in Patients With Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer: A Prospective, Multi-centre Study

Run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School · NCT05753566 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a new drug called rezvilutamide, used with hormone therapy and radiation, can help men whose prostate cancer has come back after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are men aged 40 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma and biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with local recurrence or distant metastatic lesions, or those with a PSA level below the specified threshold, may 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 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of rezvilutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and standard salvage radiation therapy (SRT) for patients experiencing biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. The trial aims to determine if this combination can effectively manage rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients who have undergone surgery. Participants will be monitored for both the effectiveness of the treatment and any potential side effects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for managing prostate cancer recurrence, potentially improving patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being explored, similar studies have shown promise in managing prostate cancer recurrence, suggesting potential for success.
