Precision radiation may boost hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07649421
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding precisely targeted radiation to standard hormone therapy helps men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. All participants first receive six months of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy. Those whose cancer has not progressed and still shows active spots on a special scan (PSMA PET/CT) are then randomly assigned to continue hormone therapy alone or to also receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to those active spots. The goal is to see if the combination extends the time without cancer growth on scans or death.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- darolutamide, androgen deprivation therapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could extend the time men with metastatic prostate cancer live without their disease worsening, potentially delaying the need for stronger treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 2 trial with 254 participants, so results are not definitive. Adding radiation may increase side effects, and the benefit may not be large enough to change standard care.
