How the ARANOTE Trial Results Could Advance Prostate Cancer Treatment

ONCOLife proudly presents an exclusive interview with Dr. Iris Kuss, VP and Global Development Lead Oncology at Bayer. In this session, we will discuss the details of the ARANOTE trial results, focusing on the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and darolutamide’s transformative role.

We will also explore Bayer’s innovative approach to personalized therapies and the future of prostate cancer treatment.

Some of the main topics in this interview include:

• Overview of the ARANOTE trial, including its design, key objectives, and primary endpoint. How do the trial’s outcomes, particularly regarding progression-free survival with darolutamide plus ADT, contribute to advancing treatment options for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC)?

• Given the positive results of darolutamide with ADT, both with and without docetaxel, how might these findings influence treatment protocols for mHSPC?
• The ARANOTE trial did not include chemotherapy. How might the absence of chemotherapy in this protocol alter patient quality of life and treatment adherence compared to traditional combination treatments?
• Could you elaborate on the unique molecular mechanism of darolutamide as an androgen receptor inhibitor and how its low potential for blood-brain barrier penetration might benefit patients compared to other therapies?
• How does darolutamide’s safety profile in the ARANOTE trial compare to previous trials such as ARAMIS and ARASENS, and what implications does this have for the long-term tolerability of darolutamide in clinical practice?
• What are Bayer’s next steps for darolutamide in terms of exploring its use across other stages of prostate cancer or in combination with emerging treatment modalities?
