Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior treatment with: LHRH agonist/antagonists except neoadjuvant and /or adjuvant therapy; Second-generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors such as enzalutamide, darolutamide, apalutamide or other investigational AR inhibitors; Cytochrome P17 enzyme inhibitor such as abiraterone acetate or oral ketoconazole as anti-cancer treatment for prostate cancer; Chemotherapy including docetaxel or immunotherapy for prostate cancer; Use of systemic corticosteroid with dose greater than the equivalent 10 mg of prednisone/day within 28 days prior to randomization; Radiopharmaceuticals; Any other anti-cancer treatment for prostate cancer, excluding local therapies and ADT.
  • Treatment with radiotherapy within 2 weeks before randomization
  • Contraindication to iodinated CT and gadolinium chelate MRI intravenous contrast agent(s)

  • Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a resting systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 100 mmHg despite medical management
  • A gastrointestinal (GI) disorder or procedure which is expected to interfere significantly with absorption of study drug
  • Any prior malignancy (other than adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer in situ currently in complete remission) within 5 years prior to randomization

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Radiological Progression-free Survival (rPFS) Assessed by Central Review

Time Frame: From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months

rPFS used conventional imaging method (99mTc-phosphonate bone scan, CT/MRI scan). rPFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of progressive disease in malignant soft tissue lesions, progressive disease in malignant bone lesions, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Malignant soft tissue lesions were assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria and malignant bone lesions were assessed by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG3) criteria.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Overall Survival (OS)(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • Time to Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • Time to Initiation of Subsequent Anti-cancer Therapy(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • Time to PSA Progression(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • PSA Undetectable Rates (<0.2 ng/mL)(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • Time to Pain Progression(From randomization to the date when 222 rPFS events were observed, approximately 36 months)
  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety(From start of study drug administration until 30 days after the last administration)

Darolutamide Gains FDA Approval for Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Following ARANOTE Trial Success- Darolutamide (Nubeqa) received FDA approval on June 3, 2025, for treating metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer based on the ARANOTE trial results. - The ARANOTE trial demonstrated efficacy of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy as a doublet regimen, expanding treatment options beyond existing triplet therapies. - NCCN guidelines now include four Category 1 preferred oral agents for mHSPC: abiraterone, apalutamide, enzalutamide, with darolutamide expected to be upgraded from Category 2B status. - The approval provides patients with low-volume metachronous disease an additional oral treatment option that minimizes adverse events while maintaining aggressive therapeutic approach.FDA Approves Darolutamide for Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Based on ARANOTE Trial Results- The FDA has approved darolutamide (Nubeqa) for treating patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, expanding its approved indications beyond the previously approved combination with docetaxel. - The approval was based on the phase 3 ARANOTE trial, which demonstrated that darolutamide significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival compared to placebo when combined with androgen deprivation therapy. - In the 669-patient study, median radiographic progression-free survival was not reached with darolutamide versus 25.0 months with placebo, representing a 46% reduction in disease progression risk. - The safety profile remained consistent with previous darolutamide studies, with hypertension and anemia being the most common grade 3/4 adverse events observed in the treatment arm.FDA Accepts Darolutamide sNDA for mHSPC Based on ARANOTE Trial Data- The FDA has accepted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). - The sNDA is supported by the phase 3 ARANOTE trial, which showed a significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) with darolutamide plus ADT. - Patients treated with darolutamide plus ADT achieved a median rPFS that was not reached compared to 25.0 months in the placebo plus ADT group. - If approved, this would expand the indication for darolutamide in mHSPC, offering an additional treatment option for patients.FDA Accepts sNDA for Darolutamide Plus ADT in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer- The FDA has accepted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). - The sNDA is supported by data from the phase 3 ARANOTE trial, which demonstrated a 46% reduction in radiographic progression or death with darolutamide/ADT compared to placebo/ADT. - Darolutamide is already approved for mHSPC in combination with docetaxel and as a monotherapy for nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. - If approved, this expanded indication would provide an additional treatment option for mHSPC patients, both with and without chemotherapy.FDA Accepts Darolutamide sNDA for Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer- The FDA has accepted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). - The sNDA is based on the phase 3 ARANOTE trial, which showed a significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) with darolutamide plus ADT. - Patients treated with darolutamide plus ADT achieved a median rPFS that was not reached compared to 25.0 months with placebo plus ADT. - If approved, this would expand the indication for darolutamide in mHSPC, offering an additional treatment option for patients.
