In addition to survival, symptom control and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are important factors in treatment decision making; we therefore report pain, HRQoL, and safety outcomes from the ARANOTE trial.<h3>Methods</h3>ARANOTE is an international, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial involving men aged 18 years or older, with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0–2 and recurrent or de novo mHSPC, treated at 133 cancer centres in 15 countries. Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to 600 mg darolutamide or matching placebo orally twice daily, both with investigator's choice of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; luteinising hormone-releasing hormone agonist or antagonist, or orchiectomy) starting within 12 weeks before randomisation. Randomisation was stratified by presence versus absence of visceral metastases and by previous versus no previous local therapy. Treatment was assigned centrally using an interactive web response system based on a computer-generated permuted block randomisation list with block sizes of six. The investigators, the participants, and the sponsor remained masked to treatment assignment throughout the study. The primary endpoint (reported previously) was radiological progression-free survival. Here, we assessed time to pain progression (≥2-point increase in Brief Pain Inventory—Short Form worst pain score or initiation of opioid for ≥7 days; secondary endpoint) and time to deterioration of overall wellbeing (≥10-point decrease in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy—Prostate [FACT-P] total score; prespecified exploratory endpoint). Pain and HRQoL outcomes were analysed in the intention to treat population; safety was analysed in all treated patients according to treatment actually received.
