Darolutamide in Addition to ADT Versus ADT in Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer (ARANOTE)

Despite the proven efficacy of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), many patients still receive ADT monotherapy due to safety concerns.

Darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) significantly improved radiological progression-free survival (rPFS) versus ADT in ARANOTE (NCT04736199). Here we report prostate-specific antigen (PSA) responses and their correlation with clinical outcomes.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a critical biomarker in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), offering insights into disease progression and treatment efficacy. An early PSA response to intensified therapy has significant prognostic implications; however, traditional methods often categorize PSA levels and focus on fixed time points, neglecting its dynamic nature.

The treatment landscape for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) has been extended by another phase 3 randomized control trial (ARANOTE) demonstrating favorable outcomes of a doublet therapy combining the androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) darolutamide with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) over ADT monotherapy.

For patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), delaying progression to castration-resistant disease is important not only for overall survival (OS) but also for patients' quality of life .
