TPS406Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) by LHRH analogues aims to lower serum testosterone. ADT is associated with several side effects that include hot flushes, depression, loss of libido, metabolic disturbances leading to an increase risk of cardiovascular disease, increased bone resorption leading to increased risk of osteoporosis and skeletal fracture. AR antagonists may circumvent these side effects by suppressing AR transcription by competitive inhibition of AR, without lowering systemic testosterone. In Europe, first generation AR antagonists bicalutamide 150 mg is registered for the treatment of non-metastatic hormone-naive PCa. is a novel AR antagonist that is structurally distinct with higher AR-binding affinity compared to bicalutamide, enzalutamide, and apalutamide. The aim of this trial is to investigate the activity, safety and tolerability of darolutamide as single agent, as an alternative to LHRH analogues in men requiring ADT. Methods: EORTC-1532-GUCG (NCT02972060) will rando...
