About This Prostate Cancer Study in Chicago

Researchers conducting this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining two study drugs, relacorilant and enzalutamide, plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), also known as hormone therapy. This study is for individuals who have been diagnosed with advanced, high-risk prostate cancer and standard therapies available to treat your disease have not been effective. Participation in this research will last about 3 years and 9 months.

Sponsor: University of Chicago
