NCT ID NCT07730151
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard chemotherapy and hormone therapy before prostate removal can improve long-term outcomes for men with locally advanced prostate cancer. Participants receive either the triple combination or the standard two-drug regimen for 16 weeks before surgery, then are followed for three years. The study aims to see if the extra drug delays cancer recurrence and reduces the chance of the cancer becoming resistant to treatment.
