Official title
Assessment of the Biological Effect of Autophagic Inhibition With Hydroxychloroquine in Prostate Cancer
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This phase 0 trial studies hydroxychloroquine in blocking autophagy in patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing surgery or active surveillance. Autophagy is a process in which cells break down some parts of themselves to stay alive during times of stress, such as starvation. This may allow cancer cells to survive damage from chemotherapy. Hydroxychloroquine may block this process from happening.
