New hope for men with resistant prostate cancer: darolutamide combo tested
NCT ID NCT07538843
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study looks at how well darolutamide (Nubeqa) plus standard hormone therapy works in Chinese men whose prostate cancer has become resistant to earlier treatment but hasn't spread. About 800 men will take part, and researchers will track PSA levels to see if the cancer is controlled. The goal is to understand if this combination can delay cancer progression in real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Darolutamide (Nubeqa) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that darolutamide plus ADT effectively controls cancer progression in men whose prostate cancer has become resistant to earlier treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The cancer may still progress despite treatment, and side effects are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males Age ≥ 18 years. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1. * Patients receiving ≥6 m ADT+Bicalutamide in nmHSPC, progressed to nmCRPC judged by investigators. * Serum testosterone level\<1.7 nmol/L. * Decision to initiate treatment with ADT + Darolutamide as per investigator's routine treatment practice. * No evidence of metastasis as assessed by computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for soft tissue disease and whole-body radionuclide bone scan for bone disease. * The informed consent form must be signed by the patient or his legal guardian (as applicable). * Patients who are fertile must use an effective method of contraception during the study and must refrain from donating sperm during the study or for 3 months after the end of treatment, unless they have undergone a radical prostatectomy. Exclusion Criteria: * Participation in an investigational program with interventions outside of routine clinical practice. * Presence of distant metastases, including involvement of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and vertebral or meningeal involvement. * Symptomatic local or regional lesions requiring medical intervention (moderate or severe urinary tract obstruction or hydronephrosis caused by the primary tumor). * Previous treatment with 2nd-generation ARIs. * Previous treatment with CYP17 inhibitors. * Previous treatment with radiopharmaceuticals, immunotherapy, or other investigational treatment for nmCRPC. * Severe/unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, arterial or venous thromboembolic events, or clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias. * Gastrointestinal diseases affecting absorption.
