A study to compare the study treatment darolutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to placebo in combination with ADT in men with elevated blood levels of a specific protein called PSA, which is a marker for high-risk of prostate cancer recurrence
EU CTIS ID: 2022-501343-33-00
What this study is testing
To determine if darolutamide plus ADT given for a pre-specified duration of 24 months improves rPFS by PSMA PET/CT compared with placebo plus ADT given for 24 months
- Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III)

- Male ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of prostate
- Prostate cancer initially treated by: radical prostatectomy (RP) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (ART), or salvage radiotherapy (SRT), or RP in participants who are unfit for (or refused) ART or SRT, or primary radiotherapy (RT).
