Abstract

The ARASENS trial recruited 1306 men with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer. It investigated the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and systemic therapy docetaxel in combination with a third novel drug – daralutamide, compared with placebo on overall survival. Triple therapy with ADT, docetaxel and darolutamide resulted in improved overall survival rates as compared with ADT, docetaxel and placebo (HR 0.68; 95% CI, 0.57–0.80; p < 0.001). The side effect profile for both treatments was similar. This randomised, double blinded, placebo controlled study, was assessed to have a low risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 tool.
