What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
In this phase 2 trial, researchers set out to test Goserelin.
There are several ways to treat it, including hormone blocking drugs, radiation therapy, and surgery.
It had 1 arm (groups): 1 (experimental).
Treatment.
The registry classes the interventions as drug and procedure.
Who Took Part
12 actual participants took part.
It was open to men only aged from 18 years up to 99 years.
Healthy volunteers were not accepted; participants needed the condition being studied.
Examples of who could join: Intermediate risk (patient must have at least one of the features listed below):. PSA level is between 10 and 20 ng/ml,. Gleason score is 7, OR. Stage T2b or T2c,. High risk (patient must have at least one of the features listed below):.
The full record lists 28 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria; among the exclusions: patients who are receiving any other investigational agents (in the past 28 days) or herbal medications (within 1 day prior to registration); patients with evidence of distant metastatic disease beyond n1 (regional) lymph nodes on conventional imaging studies (e.g., ct, mri or bone scan); history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to enzalutamide, abiraterone or other agents used in study.
How the Study Was Run
The set-up was single-group and open-label.
Everyone knew when Goserelin was being given (open label), which is simpler to run but leaves more room for expectations to affect what is reported.
Everyone received the same intervention, so there was no separate comparison group inside the trial.
It started in 2019-04-30 with completion listed for 2026-05-11.
It ran at 1 site in United States.
Its stated primary purpose is diagnostic.
What Was Measured
The main thing measured (primary outcome): disease status (time frame: 2 months).
It also tracked 1 secondary outcome, for example pathological complete response rate.
What This Means in Plain Language
Put simply, this is a phase 2 trial of Goserelin in 12 people.
Its size is small, so on its own it can only give an early look.
The trial is marked completed; no results are posted to the registry yet, so nothing here describes outcomes.

Our Notes on the Compound
Goserelin: A GnRH analog implant (Zoladex) used to lower sex-hormone levels in prostate and breast cancer and gynecologic conditions.
