Participant Flow

Cohort 1 comprised a broad spectrum of biochemically relapsed participants (on castrate level) on long term hormonal treatment in different stages of the disease (primarily advance stages), however not in need of chemotherapy. The second cohort was similar, although testosterone levels were to be above castrate level (≥0.32 ng/mL).
