Summary

This trial is looking at how quickly testosterone levels return to normal after two years of treatment with a combination of two drugs, Relugolix and Darolutamide. The study also aims to determine if

Who is the study for?

This trial is for men with prostate cancer who have completed two years of treatment. It's designed to see how quickly testosterone levels return to normal after stopping the drugs relugolix and darolutamide, which are used together in this study.

What is being tested?

The study tests the combination of two medications: Relugolix, which reduces certain hormone production, and Darolutamide, which blocks hormones that can fuel cancer growth. The focus is on recovery rates of testosterone after treatment.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include hot flashes, fatigue, joint pain, high blood pressure, diarrhea or constipation. There may also be risks related to changes in liver enzymes or other lab values.
