About this study

The study is being done to see if a small daily dose of naltrexone (LDN, 3 mg pill) can help reduce tiredness (fatigue) in men with prostate cancer. All men in this study are being treated with hormone therapy (also called androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT). Some may also be taking newer hormone medicines such as apalutamide, daralutamide, enzalutamide, or abiraterone.
