We think you will be in the study for 6 months depending on how you tolerate 9-AC and how well it controls your cancer. If at any time you decide to stop taking part in the study, you should talk to the researcher so that you can stop safely. While on the study, you are at risk for the following side effects. Most of them are listed below but they will vary from person to person. Drugs will be given to make some of the side effects less serious and uncomfortable.
Death is rare but possible.
There may be risks and side effects to you that we cannot predict. Ask for more information about counseling and ways to prevent pregnancy. There may or may not be direct medical benefit to you for taking part in this study. The reasonably expected benefit of the study is to gain knowledge about the effects of 9-AC on prostate cancer. The information learned from this study may help future patients with prostate cancer.
