Participating in SM-88 trial. Was hopeful after psa dropped two months in a row but last two monthly visits psa went up. Diagnosed in 2001. Had prostatectomy and radiation. Held PSA at bay for 17 years. Now looking for a new trial.

Hi, my name is Lynn, my husband went nine years and did well on hormone needle and casodex. Long story, cancer came back with a vengeance this past year. Twelve chemo treatments, Zytiga, Xtandi didn't work for my husband, waiting for LN results to see if he qualifies for Keytruda, it's for lung cancer but the oncologist said it sometimes works for prostrate cancer also?? 🙏🏻 keep us posted and

Good luck to you!! If you have any info, on new trails please yet me know.

Thank you. Lynn/caregiver

I am currently on a trial from Eli Lilly for a new drug they are testing to extend the usefulness of xtandi. If you do not find another trail or cannot get on any trail Zytiga or xtandi are two drugs that can be used after casodex fails.
