Darolutamide, sold under the brand name Nubeqa, is a medication used to treat prostate cancer.[2][3] Specifically it is used for non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) together with surgical or medical castration.[2] The medication is taken by mouth twice per day with food.[2]

Common side effects include tiredness, pain in the arms and legs, and rash.[2] Other side effects may include infertility and low white blood cells.[6] Use during pregnancy by either the male or female may harm the baby.[2] It is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) and works by preventing androgens from binding to the androgen receptor.[6]

Darolutamide was patented in 2011.[7] It was approved for medical use in the United States in 2019 and Europe and Australia in 2020.[2][3][8] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of medication costs the NHS about £4,000 as of 2021.[9] This amount in the United States is about 11,000 USD.[10]
