Study Summary

This trial compares abiraterone+prednisone vs darolutamide in advanced prostate cancer to see which has better side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread beyond the original site. Participants should not have had prior treatment with abiraterone, prednisone, or darolutamide. They must be able to provide tissue samples and willing to follow study procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial compares two treatments: one group receives abiraterone plus prednisone (standard care), while the other gets just darolutamide. The goal is to see which treatment better stops tumor growth by affecting male hormone levels or blocking their use by tumors.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Abiraterone can cause high blood pressure, heart issues, liver problems, and muscle pain. Prednisone may lead to weight gain, mood changes, increased infection risk, and bone thinning. Darolutamide might result in fatigue, nausea, and skin rash.
