Is there a preference for younger men <65 or 70 for Clinical Trials?

And honestly I would understand it. Just wondering who gets picked off the waiting list first. If there was I would just wish the study representative would just say it, so we would not have to live in the limbo land of how we would/ or would not fit the treatment regime into our lives.

Unless there is a stated age limit, there is no age preference. Which clinical trial are you waiting for?

[NWLiving in reply to Tall_Allen]

I do notice that there is a range of ages in the studies. No trial in particular. I do wonder sometimes who gets picked for which trials. And both Bill and I our hearts go out especially to those men who are younger who are struggling with this horrible disease.

Haha. Never know on trying to get into a study whether Bill should look strong so they might get some OS out of it or talk all about symptoms and pain so they can show a significant improvement.

Also you are a pretty fine looking squash.

Or did I just put my foot in it, never mind, be kind.

My experience is limited, and Tall Allen, as always, is no doubt correct, but I have detected a possible slight preference for the healthy man, presumably so the subject will last long enough to complete the trial.

It does create a somewhat macabre dance doesn't it? "Doc, I never felt better!" Hah hah hah. 🙄 Though I will say my husband's symptoms have been relatively mild to date. So 🤞.
