Eligibility

Recruits 100 No vulnerable populations selected. Participants must provide a signed informed consent form. No assent procedures or additional consent handling for vulnerable populations are described..

Pregnancy Exclusion
A participant who is sexually active is eligible if he is willing to use a condom from the screening visit up to 1 week after last dose of Darolutamide except if the male participant is sterile (e.g. vasectomised); the unique female sexual partner is postmenopausal, is permanently sterilized (e.g. hysterectomy or tubal ligation) or use a highly effective method of contraception (< 1% documented failure rate).
Vulnerable Population
No vulnerable populations selected. Participants must provide a signed informed consent form. No assent procedures or additional consent handling for vulnerable populations are described.
