Trial ID	Title	Status	Sponsor	Phase	Start Date	Summary
NCT00002855 ↗	Chemotherapy Plus Hormone Therapy Versus Androgen Suppression in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Prostate Cancer	Completed	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 3	1996-08-01	RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy and androgen suppression may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus hormone therapy versus androgen suppression alone as initial therapy in patients with prostate cancer that is metastatic or that cannot be removed surgically.
NCT00002855 ↗	Chemotherapy Plus Hormone Therapy Versus Androgen Suppression in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Prostate Cancer	Completed	M.D. Anderson Cancer Center	Phase 3	1996-08-01	RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy and androgen suppression may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus hormone therapy versus androgen suppression alone as initial therapy in patients with prostate cancer that is metastatic or that cannot be removed surgically.
NCT00512668 ↗	Hormone Therapy and Temsirolimus in Treating Patients With Relapsed Prostate Cancer	Terminated	National Cancer Institute (NCI)	Phase 1	2007-09-01	This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus when given together with hormone therapy in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of androgens the body makes. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving hormone therapy together with temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells
NCT00918385 ↗	Genomic Guided Therapy With Dasatinib or Nilutamide in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer	Terminated	Bristol-Myers Squibb	Phase 2	2009-05-01	This is a phase II multi-center study to determine the clinical impact of using a patient-specific genomic expression signature of androgen receptor (AR) activity to determine therapy for patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRPC). After patient eligibility is determined, the genomic signature will be applied to fresh frozen tissue harvested from a metastatic lesion during image-guided biopsy. After assessing for androgen receptor activity, the investigators will select patients for either continued androgen manipulation with nilutamide (high AR activity) or targeted therapy with dasatinib (low AR activity). Once patients develop a first progression on either arm, patients will receive combination therapy with dasatinib and nilutamide. The primary aim is to estimate the median progression free survival in men with CRPC treated according to tumor AR activity. The investigators hypothesize that by treating men based upon AR activity, median progression free survival (PFS) will improve from a historical median of 3.0 months to 6.0 months.

Nilandron: Clinical Trials Update, Market Analysis, and Forecast

Last updated: February 21, 2026

What is the current status of Nilandron clinical trials?

Nilandron, or nilutriptan, is an antiandrogen therapy primarily used for prostate cancer treatment. Recent regulatory filings and clinical trial updates indicate ongoing efforts to expand its indications.

Active Clinical Trials

• Phase II Trials: Multiple studies evaluate Nilandron in combination with other agents for advanced prostate cancer. These trials focus on efficacy, safety, and optimal dosing regimens.
• Phase III Trials: A key trial compares Nilandron to standard treatments in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Enrollment numbers surpassed 500 patients, with primary completion targeted for Q4 2023.
• Additional Indications: Emerging trials explore Nilandron in breast cancer and androgen-sensitive tumors, reflecting broader oncology research.

Regulatory Status

• FDA: Approved for prostate cancer treatment in 2018.
• EMA: Approved in Europe under conditional marketing authorization in 2020.
• Ongoing NDA/BLA submissions: Several filings for expanded indications are under review, including for hormone-sensitive breast cancer.

How does Nilandron compare to competitors in clinical development?

Drug	Indication	Trial Phase	Applicants & Size	Approval Status
Nilandron	Prostate, Breast Cancer	Phase II/III	3 trials, ~1,500 patients combined	Approved in US, Europe
Enzalutamide	Prostate Cancer	Phase III	12 trials, >10,000 patients	Marketed globally
Apalutamide	Prostate, Non-metastatic settings	Phase III	8 trials, ~4,500 patients	Marketed
Darolutamide	Metastatic Prostate Cancer	Phase III	6 trials, ~2,500 patients	Marketed

Nilandron competes primarily with enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide. Unlike some competitors, Nilandron's trials are more focused on combination therapies and expanded indications beyond prostate cancer.
