On July 30, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved darolutamide for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.
This approval was based on the ARAMIS trial, a multicenter, double-blind, 2:1 randomized controlled trial enrolling 1,509 non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients. Patients received either oral darolutamide 600 mg twice daily (N=955) or placebo (N=554). All patients, except those who had undergone bilateral orchiectomy, also received a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist. Patients with a history of seizures (N=12) were enrolled in the darolutamide group.
The primary endpoint was metastasis-free survival, defined as time to first distant metastasis, death, or any cause of death (within 33 weeks of the last imaging), whichever occurred first. The median metastasis-free survival was: darolutamide group 40.4 months / placebo group 18.4 months. However, this trial did not have confirmed overall survival data.
Adverse events occurring in 2% or more of the darolutamide group included fatigue, pain in extremities, and rash. Compared to the placebo group, the darolutamide group had higher rates of ischemic heart disease (4.3%) and heart failure (2.1%), while the incidence of seizures was the same between groups.
The recommended dose of darolutamide is 600 mg (two 300 mg tablets) taken orally twice daily with food. Patients who have not undergone bilateral orchiectomy should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist.
