Darolutamide improves survival in nonmetastatic prostate cancer patients: NEJM
Delhi: The administration of Darolutamide in men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer led to a significantly higher rate of survival, according to results from ARAMIS trial in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Darolutamide, a structurally distinct androgen-receptor inhibitor, is approved for the treatment of nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer. Findings from the planned primary analysis of a phase 3 trial showed significantly higher median metastasis-free survival with Darolutamide (40.4 months) than with placebo (18.4 months). However, the primary analysis data lacked the data for the analysis of overall survival.
To fill this knowledge gap, Karim Fizazi, head of the department of cancer medicine at Institut Gustave Roussy in Villejuif, France, and colleagues performed a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. In the trial,1509 men were assigned in the ratio 2:1 to receive darolutamide (955 patients) or placebo (554 patients). They continued to receive androgen-deprivation therapy. They were followed for a median of 29.0 months.
