BAT therapy

I’ve read through these results listed on the clinical trial website, but I’m not really understanding them. Can anyone put the results into simpler results for me?

Thanks

Researchers don't know exactly how it works..Lots of educated guessing going on here..But who cares ? The fact is it seems to work fairly well at least slowing down the rapid PSA rise associated with advanced PC..In about 50% of the cases, PSA was cut in half. Since it uses a common, cheap, generic drug, Testosterone Cypionate, it can't be patented so Big Pharma is not interested in sponsoring clinical trials. In the limited trials that have been run, virtually no one suffered an "adverse event" or had their PSA skyrocket as many had predicted..As a side benefit, many have discovered that Zytiga that once failed now was effective again...

Getting this treatment outside a clinical trial is very difficult as MD's are shy to prescribe an experimental treatment..
