New hope for high-risk prostate cancer: drug duo after surgery may stop recurrence

NCT ID NCT07282197

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding darolutamide (a pill that blocks male hormones) to standard hormone therapy after prostate removal can keep cancer from coming back in high-risk patients. About 40 men will take the combination for 12 months and be followed for 2 years. The main goal is to see how many remain free of biochemical recurrence (a rise in PSA levels).

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Darolutamide (a drug that blocks androgen receptors) plus androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT, hormone therapy that lowers testosterone)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new way to delay prostate cancer recurrence after surgery, potentially reducing the need for more aggressive treatments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 40 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from darolutamide and hormone therapy can include fatigue, hot flashes, and cardiovascular risks.
