Study Summary
This trial is testing the safety and side effects of a chemotherapy drug, cyclophosphamide, given with a corticosteroid drug, dexamethasone, to treat patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and resisted castration treatment. They must understand the study, follow its schedule, have certain blood and organ function levels within set limits, and have tried at least two prior treatments including one targeting hormones.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The safety and side effects of combining cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy drug) with dexamethasone (a corticosteroid) are being tested to see if they effectively treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with fewer side effects when given in low daily doses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include nausea, hair loss, mouth sores from cyclophosphamide; while dexamethasone might cause increased appetite, mood changes, trouble sleeping. Side effects vary by individual.
