Bayer Unveils Latest Data from Prostate Cancer Portfolio at 2025 ASCO GU Cancers Symposium

  • Bayer is committed to advancing treatment in prostate cancer care, showcasing new analyses from its comprehensive clinical trial program for NUBEQA® (darolutamide), which includes the ARANOTE, ARASENS, ARAMON, and ARASTEP trials
  • The company also highlights data on XOFIGO® (radium-223 dichloride) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and biochemically recurrent prostate cancer

Reno, Nevada (UroToday.com) -- Bayer will present new data from its prostate cancer portfolio at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary (ASCO GU) Cancers Symposium, taking place in San Francisco, California, from February 13-15, 2025. These presentations reinforce Bayer´s commitment to advancing treatments across different stages of prostate cancer.

Data will include a subgroup analysis from the investigational Phase III ARANOTE trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of NUBEQA® (darolutamide) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) by disease volume. Subgroup analyses from the investigational Phase III ARASENS trial will be presented, including evaluating age-related efficacy and safety of NUBEQA plus ADT and docetaxel in patients with mHSPC and an analysis of concomitant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) use in maintaining an efficacious dose and safe delivery of docetaxel in combination with NUBEQA in patients with mHSPC.

Lead-in phase results will be presented from the investigational Phase II ARAMON trial, investigating NUBEQA monotherapy in patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer (CSPC) after biochemical recurrence (BCR) and other data to be presented will focus on clinical use and outcomes of androgen-receptor pathway inhibitors triplet therapy for mHSPC. A trial-in-progress update will also be presented for the ongoing investigational Phase III ARASTEP trial investigating NUBEQA plus ADT in patients with high-risk BCR of prostate cancer.

NUBEQA is indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with mHSPC in combination with docetaxel and for the treatment of adult patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).1

In radiopharmaceuticals, investigator-initiated research will be presented on XOFIGO® (radium-223 dichloride) without ADT in patients with BCR and positron emission tomography (PET) findings in the bones. Investigator-initiated research will be presented evaluating the safety and efficacy of retreatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with XOFIGO therapy in daily practice. Data from three Real World Evidence studies, reviewing data from over 30 observational studies, will be presented.

XOFIGO is indicated in the U.S. for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastatic disease.2
