Bayer AG has initiated a Phase 3 clinical study titled A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study of Darolutamide Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) Compared With Placebo Plus ADT in Patients With High-risk Biochemical Recurrence (BCR) of Prostate Cancer. The study aims to determine if the combination of darolutamide and ADT can extend the time patients live without cancer progression or death compared to a placebo with ADT. This research is significant for men with high-risk BCR of prostate cancer, as it could lead to improved treatment strategies.
The study tests the efficacy of darolutamide, an androgen receptor inhibitor, combined with ADT, a treatment that reduces androgen levels. Darolutamide is already known to benefit prostate cancer patients by blocking androgen receptors, potentially halting cancer growth and spread.
This interventional study employs a randomized, parallel assignment model with quadruple masking (participant, care provider, investigator, outcomes assessor) to ensure unbiased results. The primary purpose is treatment, focusing on extending the time before cancer progression or death.
The study began on April 3, 2023, with an estimated completion date in 2025. The last update was submitted on August 19, 2025, indicating ongoing progress in the study.
The outcome of this study could significantly influence Bayer AG’s stock performance and investor sentiment, given the potential for darolutamide to become a more widely used treatment in prostate cancer. This could also impact the competitive landscape in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in oncology.
The study is currently recruiting, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
