Darolutamide with ADT and Low-Dose Docetaxel in Advanced Prostate Cancer
Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Darolutamide + ADT Combined With Low-dose Docetaxel in mHSPC: a Multi-center, Prospective, Single-arm Study
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT07503379 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether adding a low dose of docetaxel to darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy helps patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer achieve undetectable PSA levels.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Men aged 18 or older with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who are candidates for ADT and docetaxel and have ECOG 0–1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-metastatic disease, poor performance status, or contraindications to docetaxel or darolutamide may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-arm, multicenter phase 2 study evaluating the safety and potential efficacy of combining darolutamide with ADT and low-dose docetaxel in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The primary goal is to see what proportion of participants achieve a PSA level below 0.2 ng/mL at 24 weeks. The trial plans to enroll about 109 patients and compares outcomes to expectations from prior studies, aiming to preserve PSA responses while reducing chemotherapy exposure. Participants must have documented metastatic disease, be suitable for ADT and docetaxel, and maintain a good performance status. This study is conducted at select centers in China, led by Yonghong Li.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could sustain strong PSA responses with a lower chemotherapy dose, potentially reducing treatment-related toxicity.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies have shown activity with similar multi-agent regimens; this trial builds on evidence from related approaches but remains to be proven in this specific combination and population.

For subjects receiving LHRH agonists, treatment in combination with a first generation anti-androgen for at least 4 weeks before the initiation of study is recommended. First generation anti-androgen has to be stopped prior to included. 7. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 Exclusion Criteria: 1\. Prior treatment with: 1. LHRH agonist/antagonists started more than 12 weeks before before the initiation of study 2. Second-generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors such as enzalutamide, ARN-509, darolutamide, other investigational AR inhibitors 3. Cytochrome P 17 enzyme inhibitor such as abiraterone acetate or oral ketoconazole as antineoplastic treatment for prostate cancer 4. Chemotherapy or immunotherapy for prostate cancer prior to randomization 2. Treatment with radiotherapy (external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, or radiopharmaceuticals) within 2 weeks before initiation of study 3. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, study drug classes, or excipients in the formulation of the study drugs
