Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, palbociclib, for prostate cancer. They will look at side effects and if it can help predict which patients the drug will work best for.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with advanced prostate cancer that's resistant to hormone therapy can join. They need rising PSA levels, ongoing hormone treatment, and no small cell/neuroendocrine differentiation in their cancer. Major organs must function well, they should have a life expectancy of at least 6 months, and agree to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing palbociclib's effects on metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It will assess how the drug impacts the disease and examine side effects while also looking for markers predicting who might benefit most from this treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
Palbociclib may cause low white blood cell counts which increases infection risk, fatigue, nausea or vomiting, hair thinning or loss, diarrhea or constipation, mouth sores and potential liver issues.
