Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

3-Year Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS)
From randomization to 3 years after randomization

Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) is defined as the time from randomization to radiographic disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Progression is assessed using RECIST 1.1 for soft tissue and PCWG3 criteria for bone lesions. The 3-year rPFS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate of ≥50% decline (PSA50)
The baseline PSA value will be the latest measurement prior to start of study treatment. A PSA decline of ≥50% must be confirmed by a second value obtained at least 3 weeks later

PSA response rate of ≥50% decline is defined as the proportion of participants who have achieved a decline of 50% or more from baseline during treatment at any time.

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (o-rPFS)
From first dose of induction therapy to radiographic progression or death, assessed up to 60 months
PSA Progression-Free Survival (PSA-PFS)
From randomization to PSA progression or death, assessed up to 60 months
Time to Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)
From randomization to development of castration-resistant prostate cancer, assessed up to 60 months

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
PSMA PET/CT-Guided SBRT + Darolutamide + ADTEXPERIMENTALAfter a 6-month run-in period of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy, eligible participants without disease progression and with residual PSMA PET/CT-positive active tumor lesions will receive PSMA PET/CT-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy to all active tumor lesions while continuing darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy.
Darolutamide + ADTACTIVE_COMPARATORAfter a 6-month run-in period of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy, eligible participants without disease progression and with residual PSMA PET/CT-positive active tumor lesions will continue darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy without local radiotherapy.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)RADIATIONStereotactic body radiotherapy will be delivered in the experimental arm after the 6-month run-in period of darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy. Radiotherapy will target all residual PSMA PET/CT-positive active tumor lesions, while participants continue darolutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy. Target lesions may include active lesions in the prostate or prostate bed and metastatic sites. Dose and fractionation will be selected according to lesion location, lesion size, and organ-at-risk constraints as specified in the study protocol.
Darolutamide 600 mg twice dailyDRUGDarolutamide will be administered orally at 600 mg twice daily with food during the 6-month run-in period in combination with androgen deprivation therapy. After randomization, darolutamide will be continued in both treatment groups according to the assigned treatment strategy. Treatment may be interrupted or dose-reduced according to protocol-defined toxicity management rules.
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)DRUGAndrogen deprivation therapy will be maintained throughout study treatment in both groups. The method of androgen deprivation therapy will be selected by the investigator according to the participant's clinical condition and may include surgical castration or medical castration with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist or antagonist. Treatment will aim to maintain castrate testosterone levels according to the study protocol.

Frequently asked questions about Darolutamide twice daily

What is Darolutamide twice daily used for?

Darolutamide twice daily is an investigational small molecule being studied for prostate cancer, including metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). It is taken as a 600 mg dose twice daily and is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

Who makes Darolutamide twice daily?

Darolutamide twice daily is being developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. The company is conducting Phase 2 clinical trials to evaluate the drug in prostate cancer indications.

What phase is Darolutamide twice daily in?

Darolutamide twice daily is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. Two Phase 2 trials are listed, one completed and one not yet recruiting.

What clinical trials is Darolutamide twice daily in?

Darolutamide twice daily is being studied in two Phase 2 trials. NCT05171387, completed, enrolled 78 men with high-risk nonmetastatic prostate cancer in China. NCT07649421, not yet recruiting, plans to enroll 254 men with mHSPC in China, combining PSMA PET/CT-guided SBRT with darolutamide.

Is Darolutamide twice daily the same as Darolutamide 600 mg twice daily?

Yes, Darolutamide twice daily is the same as Darolutamide 600 mg twice daily. The drug is administered at a dose of 600 mg twice daily, and both names refer to the same investigational treatment.

How does Darolutamide twice daily work?

Darolutamide twice daily is a small molecule that targets the androgen receptor, a key driver in prostate cancer growth. By blocking this receptor, it aims to inhibit cancer cell proliferation. It is being studied in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in clinical trials.
