I believe is outside the standard of care. Darolutamide is approved for non metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. It cost around $ 12500 per month and is covered by insurance in nmCRPC.

Darolutamide plus chemo improves survival in castration sensitive PC.

I do not think is covered by insurance in this situation.
