๐ "Do I Qualify?" โ 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Prostate cancer with predominant non-adenocarcinoma features (sarcomatoid or spindle cell or neuroendocrine small cell or squamous cell components or other non-adenocarcinoma)
- Involvement of LNs by conventional CT imaging superior to the common iliac artery bifurcation, and/or outside the pelvis (distant LNs). LN involvement is defined by histopathological confirmation, or by a short axis measurement \> 10mm on standard imaging (CT or MRI, but not PET).
- Evidence of metastatic disease. Minimum imaging requirements to exclude metastatic disease are diagnostic quality imaging of both the pelvis and the abdomen (CT or MRI), chest (CXR or CT), and a whole body radioisotope bone scan (WBBS).
- If endocrine therapy (ET) had not started, imaging must be within 60 days prior to randomisation.
- If ET has been started, imaging must have been performed no more than 60 days prior to starting ET and no more than 30 days after starting ET and prior to randomisation.
- PSA \> 100 ng/mL at any time
- Any prior use of new generation potent AR inhibition (abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide or similar agents).
- Prior endocrine therapy for prostate cancer except for the following which are allowed:
- (i) LHRHA and/or (ii) a first-generation nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) are allowed if commenced no more than 90 days before randomisation. If an NSAA has been used, it must be stopped before starting study treatment with darolutamide/placebo; and
- Prior use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor is allowed and if used it must be stopped before starting study treatment with darolutamide/placebo
- Bilateral orchidectomy
