* Subjects with a known history of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection are eligible as long as they have an undetectable viral. HIV positive participants must be taking stable ART for ≥ 12 weeks and have an undetectable HIV viral load within 28 days before enrollment. Minor fluctuations up to 200 copies/mL are acceptable.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with Biopsy Decipher score ≤0.45.
* Subjects have had prior hormonal therapy (please see inclusion criteria for exceptions).
* Subjects have had prior radiation therapy or chemotherapy for prostate cancer.
* Subjects with active cardiac disease defined as having any of the following within 6 months prior to the start of treatment:

  * myocardial infarction,
  * severe/unstable angina pectoris,
  * congestive heart failure,
  * hospitalization for any cardiac event
* Subject has active GI disorder that will interfere with absorption of study drug Darolutamide Subject has prior treatment with androgen receptor inhibitors, such as apalutamide, Darolutamide, enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate or other investigational CYP17 inhibitor.

* Subject have active auto-immune disease that has required systemic therapy (use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) in the past 2 years. However, subjects receiving replacement therapy (e.g., insulin, thyroxine, or physiological corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal and pituitary insufficiency) are eligible.

* Subjects with known brain metastases should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
