Preoperative Semaglutide Prior to Radical Prostatectomy (NCT07727473)
A Prospective, Open-label, Exploratory Interventional Trial of Preoperative Semaglutide Prior to Radical Prostatectomy for Intermediate-risk Localized Prostate Cancer
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
In this exploratory, single-arm, nonrandomized trial, the impact of the preoperative utilization of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) semaglutide prior to radical prostatectomy in participants with intermediate risk prostate cancer will be investigated. Semaglutide will be administered according to the FDA-approved label for chronic weight management and participants will be dosed with a weekly subcutaneous injection. The primary aim of this trial is to explore the tumor biological activity of semaglutide in these participants. The trial will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of this preoperative treatment, along with the impact on physiologic/metabolic parameters.
