Registry for Advanced Prostate Cancer
(IRONMAN Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to create a large international registry to gather detailed information on men with advanced prostate cancer. By tracking different treatments and patient outcomes, the research seeks to identify the best treatment sequences and understand how patients respond to various therapies. Men with prostate cancer that has spread to bones or certain lymph nodes, or who have a PSA level over 20 ng/mL at diagnosis, might be a good fit for this study. Participants will provide data and blood samples over several years to help researchers better understand and improve treatment options, including the Standard of Care (also known as Standard Treatment, Conventional Care, or Usual Care). This unphased trial offers participants the opportunity to contribute to a broad understanding of prostate cancer treatment and outcomes.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about this trial because it aims to gather comprehensive data on men with advanced prostate cancer, focusing on both castrate-resistant and hormone-sensitive types. Unlike individual treatment studies, this registry collects information across various standard care treatments, allowing for a deeper understanding of how different therapies perform in real-world settings. By analyzing diverse patient outcomes globally, the trial hopes to identify patterns and insights that could lead to more personalized and effective treatment strategies in the future.
