Parallel Phase III Randomized Trials of Genomic-Risk Stratified Unfavorable Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: De-Intensification And Intensification Clinical Trial Evaluation.

Primary Objective
De-Intensification Study: To determine whether men with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) unfavorable intermediate risk (UIR) prostate cancer and lower Decipher genomic risk (Decipher score < 0.40) treated with RT alone instead of 6 months ADT + RT experience non-inferior rate of distant metastasis.

Intensification Study: To determine whether men with NCCN UIR prostate cancer who are in the higher genomic risk (Decipher score ≥0.40) will have a superior metastasis-free survival through treatment intensification with darolutamide added to the standard of RT plus 6 months ADT.

Secondary Objectives:
- To compare overall survival (OS) between the standard of care (RT plus 6 months of
ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6 months of
ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare time to PSA failure between the standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT)
and either the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6 months of ADT
plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare metastasis free survival (MFS) based on conventional imaging between the
standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and de-intensification intervention (RT
alone).

- To compare MFS based on either conventional and/or molecular imaging between the
standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone)
or intensification (RT plus 6 months of ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare cumulative incidence of locoregional failure based upon conventional
imaging and/ or biopsy between standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and either
the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6 months ADT plus
darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare cumulative incidence of distant metastasis based upon conventional imaging
between standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and intensification intervention
(RT plus 6 months ADT plus darolutamide).

- To compare cumulative incidence of distant metastasis based upon either conventional
and/or molecular imaging between standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and
either the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6 months of ADT plus
darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare prostate cancer-specific mortality between the standard of care (RT plus 6
months of ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6
months of ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare sexual and hormonal related quality of life, as measured by the Expanded
Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 (EPIC), between the standard of care (RT plus 6
months of ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone) or intensification (RT plus 6
months of ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare fatigue, as measured by the PROMIS-Fatigue instrument, between the
standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone)
or intensification (RT plus 6 months of ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.

- To compare cognition, as measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness
Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog) perceived cognitive abilities subscale, between the
standard of care (RT plus 6 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification (RT alone)
or intensification (RT plus 6 months of ADT plus darolutamide) interventions.
