The drug is probably mebendazole.
Researchers found that mebendazole and docetaxel (which is a form of chemotherapy) work together to kill prostate cancer cells by disrupting the molecular “scaffold” used by cells to divide. This scaffold is vital for cancer cells to grow and divide and the combination treatment was found to drastically increase cancer cell death.

Please note that the research cited in this post is in the early stages (laboratory studies) and has not yet been tested in human trials. Ivermectin is not a proven standard treatment for prostate cancer.
Ivermectin combined with other chemotherapy drugs or targeted drugs is being studied in early clinical trials and shows promise in patients for whom conventional chemotherapy has not worked in some cancer types. It may be effective against drug-resistant cancer cells.
