STOPCAP M1 Programme

Speeding up the evaluation of therapies for metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

Speeding up the evaluation of treatments for prostate cancer that has spread beyond the prostate and responds to hormone therapy

What is this study about?

STOPCAP M1 is a worldwide collaborative effort that aims to quickly identify which treatments work best for men with metastatic, hormone sensitive prostate cancer. This will be done through:

1. systematic reviews of treatment effects

2. identification of surrogate outcomes, by trying to find early measurements of prostate cancer control that predict later survival 

3. establishing a repository of patient data which will be used to tackle new questions about advanced prostate cancer and its treatment as they arise.
