Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
PROMIZE is an open-label, multi-centre, single-arm, Phase I/II clinical trial, evaluating the safety, tolerability and anti-tumuor efficacy of an antibiotic combination and enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
