Determining the Effect of Abiraterone on the Metabolism of Oxycodone in Men With Prostate Cancer (the ENABLE Study)

The Effect of Abiraterone on the Metabolism of Oxycodone

Determining the Effect of Abiraterone on the Metabolism of Oxycodone in Men With Prostate Cancer (the ENABLE Study) (NCT07001709) is a Phase 4 interventional studying Prostate Cancer and Pain Cancer, sponsored by Deventer Ziekenhuis. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

Prostate cancer often leads to bone metastases, which require adequate pain management with opioids such as oxycodone. This study investigates whether abiraterone - a drug used in the treatment of prostate cancer - affects the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone in order to improve pain management.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 29 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
