Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of enzalutamide and indomethacin on treating prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
Men with hormone-resistant prostate cancer that has returned or spread, who have tried castration (surgery or drugs) and still show signs of the disease. They must be in fairly good health otherwise, with a life expectancy over 6 months, normal organ function tests, and agree to use contraception. Those with other recent cancers, brain metastases, certain infections like HIV on treatment, uncontrolled illnesses, history of seizures or severe gastrointestinal issues are not eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well enzalutamide combined with indomethacin works for treating advanced prostate cancer resistant to hormonal therapy. Enzalutamide lowers androgen levels/block its use by tumors; indomethacin is added to see if it enhances this effect. It's a phase I/II study which means they're looking at safety as well as effectiveness.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions similar to those from compounds related to enzalutamide or indomethacin. There may also be risks of heart problems due to pre-existing conditions being exacerbated by the medications.
