First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study compares a new oral drug, darolutamide, to standard hormone therapy (ADT) in men with prostate cancer that still responds to hormones. About 250 men will be randomly assigned to receive either the pill or injections. The main goal is to see if the pill can lower PSA levels as effectively as standard treatment, while also monitoring side effects and quality of life.
