💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Dapagliflozin is a well-established medication being marketed and used for treatment Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In retrospective cohort studies done by our team, we found that metastatic prostate cancer patients who received Dapagliflozin together with standard anti-cancer treatment, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with novel hormonal agent (NHA), had better tumor control than those having ADT and NHA.
