First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of hormone therapy (Lupron), an androgen blocker (Darolutamide), and an immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) given before and after prostate removal surgery in 40 men with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce or eliminate cancer remaining after surgery. Participants must have specific genetic markers from a biopsy to join.

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could reduce residual cancer after surgery and improve long-term outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer patients.
