Study Summary
This trial aims to understand the safety of combining drugs to treat advanced prostate cancer and reduce hormone production in testicles. It lasts up to 1 month.

People can't join if they've had allergic reactions to similar drugs, need other systemic prostate cancer therapies, have absorption issues or severe illnesses that could limit participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of combining relugolix with itraconazole or ritonavir in patients with advanced prostate cancer. The aim is to see if this combination allows for lower doses of relugolix, which may reduce costs without compromising treatment efficacy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those commonly associated with relugolix such as hot flashes, fatigue, diarrhea; itraconazole like nausea and rash; and ritonavir including gastrointestinal disturbances and tingling sensations. Specific side effects will depend on the drug combination each participant receives.
