Darolutamide is a nonsteroidal androgen receptor antagonist for the treatment of castrate-resistant, non-metastatic prostate cancer (nmCRPC). This condition occurs in the majority of patients with advanced prostate cancer who have been treated with androgen receptor antagonists. Though prior treatment for prostate cancer has been successful for these patients, the cancer eventually progresses to become resistant to existing therapies. This warrants further treatment.
The goal of treatment with darolutamide is to delay the progression of prostate cancer to metastatic disease, increasing quality of life and life expectancy for those with advanced prostate cancer. Darolutamide was developed by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. and approved by the FDA on July 30th, 2019.
Darolutamide is indicated for the treatment of adults with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) and metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in combination with docetaxel.
