Clinical trial NCT04157088
Conditions: Prostatic Cancer, Castration-Resistant
Sponsor: Bayer
Start date: 2019-12-17; Completion date: 2022-07-08
Enrollment: 30 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL

Brief summary:
Researchers in this study want to compare the effects of drug darolutamide and drug enzalutamide on physical function, including balance and daily activity, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Both darolutamide and enzalutamide are approved AR inhibitors used for the treatment of patients with CRPC. AR inhibitor is a substance that keeps androgens (male sex hormones) from binding to proteins called androgen receptors, which are found in normal prostate cells, some prostate cancer cells, and in some other cells. Preventing this binding blocks the effects of these hormones in the body and therefore keeps prostate cancer cells from growing. Patients participating this study will receive either darolutamide or enzalutamide tablets. To evaluate the physical function, patients will be asked to make some movements like rising from a chair, walking three meters, etc. Additionally, researchers also want to find out the survival of patients and if patients have fatigue (feeling tired), cognitive (learning and thinking) problems, or other medical problems during the trial. Brand name of darolutamide is Nubeqa; brand name of enzalutamide is Xtandi.

Protocol Summary
1.1
Synopsis
Protocol Title:
A randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 2b study to evaluate physical function, 
including balance and daily activity, in participants with castration-resistant prostate cancer
treated with darolutamide or enzalutamide
Short Title:
DaroAcT: darolutamide physical function and daily activity study
Rationale:
There are multiple androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors indicated for prostate cancer with 
proven efficacy. However, these drugs are associated with adverse events including fatigue, 
cognitive dysfunctions, anorexia, sarcopenia, muscle weakness, and falls. There is an unmet 
medical need to improve patients’ daily function, quality of life, and safety with an AR
inhibitor with a better safety profile. Enzalutamide is the most frequently used AR inhibitor 
indicated for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
The Phase 3 ARAMIS study of AR inhibitor darolutamide resulted in statistically significant 
improvement in metastasis-free survival compared to placebo (40.4 months vs. 22.0 months 
in the placebo arm) with a p-value of <0.001 and hazard ratio of 0.41 (95%CI: [0.34;0.50]). 
Treatment with darolutamide also resulted in a positive trend in overall survival and a delay in 
time to pain progression (Fizazi et al. 2019). The study also showed that darolutamide is well-
tolerated and has a differentiated safety profile from other AR inhibitors (enzalutamide and 
apalutamide). However, currently there has not been a study to assess physical functioning
and daily activities in patients treated with darolutamide.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of treatment with darolutamide or 
enzalutamide on physical function as demonstrated by changes in balance, mobility, and 
cognitive function in participants with CRPC.

Primary
The primary objective of this study is to 
compare the effects of treatment with 
darolutamide vs. enzalutamide on physical
function as assessed by the Timed Up and 
Go (TUG) test in participants with castration-
resistant prostate cancer.
Proportion of participants with a worsening in TUG
time during the 24-week period from baseline.
Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 
1 second in TUG time from baseline. (The 
minimum clinically important difference [MCID] in 
TUG time is 1 second (Davies et al. 2016))

Cognitive Function:

Proportion of participants with a decline in 
cognitive function during the 24 weeks and 
52 weeks from baseline, as assessed by 
HVLT-R, TMT, and COWA. See Table 8–1 for 
the definition of decline for each test.

Proportion of participants with a decline using 
a selected domain of FACT-Cog. Decline is 
defined as a decrease of >10 points during the 
24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline.
Fatigue:

Proportion of participants with a worsening of 
fatigue during the 24 weeks and 52 weeks 
from baseline. Worsening is defined as an 
increase of at least 1 point in worst level of 
fatigue from baseline by 24 weeks and

Overall Design:
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 2b study is designed to evaluate 
darolutamide therapy in participants with CRPC who have not previously been treated with 
apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide. CRPC patients with a history of treatment with 
abiraterone may be eligible if they have not progressed and discontinued treatment within
6 months before signing the ICF for this study.
The study consists of two phases, a lead-in phase and a randomized phase. In the lead-in 
phase, approximately 30 participants will be treated with darolutamide. Following the 
evaluation of the lead-in phase, approximately 120 additional participants will be randomized 
in a 1:1 ratio to receive either darolutamide (600 mg twice daily) or enzalutamide (160 mg 
once daily) in the randomized phase of the study. Randomization will be stratified by age 
(<75, ≥75 years).
The endpoints used in this study are novel in a way that decline in physical function will be 
evaluated using objective measures such as TUG, SPPB, and accelerometry, therefore, the
lead-in phase has been added to be able to assess compliance and the variability of the 
endpoints and overall feasibility of the study execution. The randomized phase of the study 
will start only after the primary evaluation of the lead-in phase. Depending on the results of 
the lead-in phase, the primary endpoint of the study and/or sample size for the randomized 
phase may be changed.
The primary evaluation of the lead-in phase will occur when the last participant in the lead-in 
phase has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the participant discontinued due to 
lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.

a    PSA will be assessed at the same time as other laboratory assessments. A time window of 14 days is allowed for laboratory and PSA
assessments.
b    Including survival, pain, radiographic progression, metastases, and skeletal events
c    AEs of interest are fractures, falls, and hypothyroidism
d    Physical function tests include SPPB and the TUG assessment. 
e    Accelerometry assessment will require the participant to wear an accelerometry device on the wrist or hip for a minimum of 7 days at each time 
point. The first accelerometry assessment is to be performed before the first dose (i.e. during screening).
f    Cognitive function tests include the HVLT-R, TMT, and COWA, as well as the patient-reported outcome questionnaire FACT-Cog.
g   BFI is a 5 minute self-assessment tool that identifies fatigue in cancer participants over a 24-hour period.
h    The first TUG assessment is to be performed before the first dose (either during screening or Week 1 Day 1).
i     Once the baseline procedures are completed, the first administration of study intervention will be provided at the study center and the participant 
will be provided with additional medication to take as scheduled through the Week 4 visit. (Each participant will be instructed to bring any 
remaining drug back to the center at the Week 4 visit.)
j     At this and each subsequent visit, the participant will return dispensed but unused study intervention to the investigator for recording on the 
CRF. Reasons for non-compliance will be recorded. A new supply of study drug sufficient to meet the dosing requirements of each participant 
will be dispensed.
k    Participants remaining on treatment beyond Week 52 will continue, where possible, to receive study intervention and assessments until the final
evaluation of the randomized phase (i.e. at Week 52 for the last participant, see Section 4.4.1).
l     Prior to the final evaluation of the randomized phase of the study, all participants will go into Week 53 active follow-up or survival follow-up as 
applicable.
m  Each participant should complete an end of treatment visit after discontinuation of study intervention for any reason. All anti-cancer treatments 
after discontinuation of study intervention in this study will be recorded on the CRF at the end of treatment visit. See Section 4.4.2 for more

Introduction
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer death 
among men worldwide (World Health Organization 2017). It is the most common 
non-cutaneous cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men in Europe
(World Health Organization 2008) and the United States (USA) (Hirsch et al. 2001). The 
most significant morbidity of prostate cancer is bone metastases.
2.1
Study Rationale
Most prostate cancer at diagnosis (in Europe and the USA) is localized disease. The majority 
of patients receive local treatment alone or with adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy 
(ADT). Many patients will eventually become resistant to ADT and develop 
castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) (Dai et al. 2017). Contemporary research has led 
to the development of multiple active treatments for men with advanced disease, in addition to 
ADT. Management of CRPC involves the sequential use of these approaches, with the goals 
of prolonging survival and minimizing complications, but there is also a need to maintain 
quality of life.
There are multiple androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors indicated for prostate cancer with 
proven efficacy. However, these drugs are associated with adverse events including fatigue, 
cognitive dysfunctions, anorexia, sarcopenia, muscle weakness, and falls. There is an unmet 
medical need to improve patients’ daily function, quality of life, and safety with an AR
inhibitor with a better safety profile. Enzalutamide is the most frequently used AR inhibitor 
indicated for the treatment of patients with CRPC.
The Phase 3 ARAMIS study of AR inhibitor darolutamide showed clinically and statistically 
significant prolongation of time to metastasis in patients with non-metastatic CRPC treated 
with darolutamide as compared to placebo (Fizazi et al. 2019). The study also showed that 
darolutamide was well tolerated and has a differentiated safety profile from enzalutamide, 
which is why darolutamide-treated patients may have improved function for activities of daily 
living, less fatigue, and improved cognition. However, currently there has not been a study to 
assess physical function and daily activities in patients treated with darolutamide.
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of treatment with darolutamide or 
enzalutamide on physical function as demonstrated by changes in balance, mobility, and
cognitive function in participants with CRPC. Standardized assessments of physical function
including the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) will 
be used to monitor participants’ physical function on treatment (Belch et al. 2003). Each 
participant will also use an accelerometry device to track daily physical activity. 
The cognitive function assessments included in this study are the Hopkins Verbal Learning 
Test, Revised (HVLT-R), Trail Making Test (TMT), Controlled Oral Word Association Test
(COWA), and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog). Fatigue 
and depression will be assessed using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) and Patient Health 
Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), respectively.
2.2
Background
Darolutamide (ODM-201/BAY 1841788) is a novel non-steroidal AR inhibitor that appears to 
negligibly cross the blood–brain barrier, reducing the occurrence of central side effects 
including seizures. Darolutamide has been found to block the activity of all tested/well-known 
mutant ARs in prostate cancer, including the recently identified clinically-relevant F876L 


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609

mutation that produces resistance to enzalutamide and apalutamide, and shows a higher 
binding affinity (9 nM) to AR compared with known second-generation antiandrogens and 
greater inhibitory efficacy (Eikelboom et al. 2017).
Darolutamide has been investigated in multiple Phase 1, 2, and 3 trials. Detailed information 
can be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB).
The Phase 1/2 ARADES study in patients with metastatic CRPC showed tolerability of 
darolutamide in the population with advanced prostate cancer with metastatic lesions. The 
Phase 1 component of ARADES was an open-label, uncontrolled, non-randomized, 
multicenter, dose-escalation safety study with single- and multiple-dose pharmacokinetic 
(PK) evaluation in 24 patients. No dose-limiting toxic effects were reported and the maximum 
tolerated dose was not reached (Derry and Loke 2000).
The Phase 2 part of the trial randomized 124 patients to one of three darolutamide doses, with 
a primary endpoint of proportion of patients with PSA response (≥50% decrease in serum 
PSA) at Week 12. PSA response was achieved by 11 patients (29%) in the 200 mg group, 
13 (33%) in the 400 mg group, and 11 (33%) in the 1400 mg group. The most common 
treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were fatigue or asthenia (12% of patients), hot 
flush (5%), and decreased appetite (4%) (Derry and Loke 2000).
The multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3, efficacy and safety 
study of darolutamide in men with high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate 
cancer (ARAMIS) met the primary endpoint of metastasis-free survival (MFS). In total, 
1509 patients underwent randomization (955 to the darolutamide arm and 554 to the placebo 
arm). The median MFS was 40.4 months with darolutamide, as compared with 18.4 months 
with placebo (hazard ratio for metastasis or death in the darolutamide arm, 0.41; 
95% confidence interval, 0.34 to 0.50; p<0.001). Darolutamide was also associated with 
benefits with regard to all secondary endpoints, including overall survival, time to pain 
progression, time to cytotoxic chemotherapy, and time to a symptomatic skeletal event. 
Darolutamide treatment was well-tolerated with comparable incidence of the most common 
TEAEs and similar incidence of permanent discontinuations of treatment between the 
darolutamide and the placebo arms. Incidences of TEAEs were below 10% in both treatment 
arms, with the exception of fatigue (12.1% darolutamide vs. 8.7% placebo) (Fizazi et al. 
2019).
The median MFS with darolutamide in ARAMIS is similar to that in two other randomized 
controlled trials with enzalutamide and apalutamide in patients with non-metastatic CRPC. 
Median MFS was 36.6 months with enzalutamide (vs. 14.7 with placebo) in the PROSPER 
Phase 3 trial, and was 40.4 months with apalutamide (vs. 16.2 months with placebo) in the 
SPARTAN Phase 3 trial (Hussain et al. 2018, Smith et al. 2018). Rates of fatigue and asthenia, 
common adverse events for patients receiving hormone-targeted therapy for advanced 
prostate cancer, were lower in ARAMIS than in PROSPER and SPARTAN. In contrast to 
apalutamide and enzalutamide, darolutamide was not associated with increased rates of falls 
or fractures compared with placebo despite few patients using osteoclast-targeted therapies. 
Seizures were noted as a potential risk in the dose escalation and toxicity studies of 
enzalutamide (Scher et al. 2010). The incidence of seizure events was low and similar in the 
darolutamide and placebo arms; none of the patients with a medical history of seizure (12 in 
the darolutamide arm) experienced a seizure on study. Rates of rash and hypothyroidism, 
which were increased in patients receiving apalutamide compared with placebo, were low and 
similar between the darolutamide and placebo arms. Incidences of hypertension and central 
nervous system (CNS)-related adverse events were also low and similar between

darolutamide and placebo arms in ARAMIS. In PROSPER and SPARTAN, rates of 
hypertension and CNS-related adverse effects, such as mental impairment disorders and 
dizziness, were more common in patients receiving enzalutamide or apalutamide compared 
with placebo. The similar incidence of seizures, dizziness, and cognitive impairment in the 
darolutamide and placebo arms of ARAMIS may be linked to darolutamide’s low blood–brain 
barrier penetration observed in preclinical studies (Zurth et al. 2018).
However, currently there has been no study to assess differences in physical function and the 
influence on quality of life of CRPC patients treated with these treatment options, and the
effect of the treatments on daily function, quality of life, and activities are unknown. This
study is designed to assess physical function, daily activity level, cognitive functions, and 
influence of secondary events in patients with CRPC treated with darolutamide and 
enzalutamide.
2.3
Benefit/Risk Assessment
The available clinical data suggest that darolutamide use is well-tolerated and safe for patients 
with non-metastatic CRPC. Darolutamide has been shown to significantly increase the time to 
metastasis compared to placebo while providing a favorable safety profile with low risk for 
adverse reactions that could deteriorate patients’ quality of life. Therefore, the benefit from 
darolutamide treatment is significantly greater than the risk imposed by the treatment.
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably 
expected adverse events of darolutamide can be found in the IB. Information about the 
adverse events of enzalutamide is available in the prescription information of enzalutamide
(XTANDITM  Prescribing information).

Study Design
4.1
Overall Design
This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter, Phase 2b study to be conducted with a total of 
approximately 150 participants with CRPC who have not previously been treated with 
apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide. CRPC patients with a history of treatment with 
abiraterone may be eligible if they have not progressed and discontinued treatment within
6 months before signing the ICF for this study.
The study consists of two phases, a lead-in phase and a randomized phase (see 
Figure 1–1). In the lead-in phase, approximately 30 participants will be treated with 
darolutamide. Following the primary evaluation of the lead-in phase, approximately 
120 participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either darolutamide (600 mg 
twice daily) or enzalutamide (160 mg once daily) in the randomized phase of the study. 
Randomization will be stratified by age (<75, ≥75 years).
At the end of the lead-in phase of the study, the compliance and variability of the endpoints 
and overall feasibility of the study execution will be assessed. The randomized phase of the 
study will start only after the primary evaluation of the lead-in phase. Depending on the 
results of the evaluation, the primary endpoint for the randomized portion of the study may be 
changed. The final study design and endpoints for the randomized phase will be determined 
based on the lead-in cohort of 30 participants. The decision to move to the randomized phase 
of the study will involve reviewing the findings from the lead-in phase of the study with the 
members of the steering committee.


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 21 of 59
The primary evaluation of the lead-in phase will occur when at least 30 participants in the 
lead-in phase have been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the participant discontinued 
due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. Additional participants may be enrolled in the 
lead-in phase if necessary.  
The following endpoints will be evaluated at the end of the lead-in phase: 

the proportion of participants with a worsening in TUG time at week 12 and 24 and 
during the 24-week and 52-week period from baseline. Worsening is defined as an 
increase of at least 1 second in TUG time from baseline.

the proportion of participants with a worsening in SPPB total score at week 12 and 24 
and during the 24-week and 52-week period from baseline. Worsening is defined as a 
decline of at least 0.5 points in SPPB total score.

the proportion of participants with a decline in cognitive function during the 24-week
period from baseline, as assessed by HVLT-R and TMT
The suggested sample size for the randomized phase is based on the assessment of TUG test 
as the primary endpoint; however, after the feasibility assessment, the appropriate endpoint 
and the time point and time frame of evaluation of the endpoint for this part of the study will 
be chosen and the sample size will be reassessed.
The study is designed to evaluate physical function, including balance and daily activity, in 
participants treated with darolutamide or enzalutamide. It will also evaluate, safety, cognitive 
function, fatigue, and survival in participants treated with darolutamide or enzalutamide.
Participants will receive treatment (darolutamide or enzalutamide) until toxicity or disease 
progression and receive assessments during treatment. The study will continue until at least 
52 weeks after the initial dose of the last participant, unless the participant discontinued due to
lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. All participants will be followed up for survival status 
until the end of the study unless participants withdraw their informed consent.
The primary analysis for the lead-in phase will be performed when the last participant in the 
lead-in phase has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the participant discontinued 
due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.
The primary analysis for the randomized phase for the study will occur when last participant
in the randomized phase of the study has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the 
participant discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. A final analysis for the 
randomized phase for the study will occur when last participant in the randomized phase of 
the study has been on the study for at least 52 weeks, unless the participant discontinued due
to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.  
No data monitoring committee, dose escalation committee, or similar review group will be 
used for this study. The study will be conducted only in the USA at approximately 20 sites.
4.1.1
Randomization
This is an open-label study; however, the specific intervention to be taken by a participant 
will be assigned using an IWRS. The site will need to access the IWRS prior to the start of 
study intervention administration for each participant. The site will record the intervention 
assignment on the applicable case report form (CRF), if required. Randomization will be 
stratified by age (<75, ≥75 years).

4.2
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
This study is designed to assess physical function, daily activity level, cognitive functions, 
and influence of secondary events in participants with CRPC treated with darolutamide and 
enzalutamide. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of treatment with 
darolutamide or enzalutamide on physical function as demonstrated by changes in balance, 
mobility, and cognitive function in participants with CRPC. Standardized assessments of 
physical function including the TUG and SPPB will be used to monitor participants’ physical 
function on treatment (Belch et al. 2003). Each participant will also use an accelerometry 
device to measure daily physical activity. The cognitive function assessments included in this 
study are the HVLT-R, TMT, COWA, and FACT-Cog. Fatigue and depression will be 
assessed using the BFI and PHQ-9, respectively. Before the randomized phase, in the lead-in 
phase in participants treated with darolutamide, these parameters will be assessed for 
feasibility and clinical relevance. After assessment in approximately 30 evaluable 
participants, the parameters and endpoints will be assessed and selected accordingly. This will
allow a re-evaluation of the study design and endpoints before the randomized phase and
allow a re-estimation of the assumptions for the comparator and study arms.
4.3
Justification for Dose
In the ARAMIS Phase 3 study, it was demonstrated that a dose of 600 mg darolutamide bid is 
sufficient to achieve maximum decrease in PSA and to result in a significantly longer 
metastasis-free survival (MFS) compared to the placebo arm. Overall, a darolutamide dose of 
600 mg bid is considered to have an optimal benefit-risk profile.
The enzalutamide dose was based on approved dosing in the USA for enzalutamide in this 
population.
4.4
End of Study Definition
4.4.1
Final evaluation of the randomized phase
The final evaluation of the randomized phase will be at least 52 weeks from the initial dose of 
the study drug of the last participant randomized in the study, unless the participant 
discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.
If the trial is stopped but benefits are observed for ongoing participants, options for treatment 
continuation will be discussed and agreed between the investigator, sponsor and the 
participants.
4.4.2
End of assessments / follow-up
A participant is considered to have completed the study if he has completed all periods of the 
study including the last visit or evaluation at 52 weeks, unless the participant discontinued 
due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.
For participants treated with darolutamide, at the time of the final evaluation of the 
randomized phase:

If ongoing on study intervention, the participant can continue treatment until he meets 
the criteria for discontinuation (see Section 7). After discontinuation, the participant 
should complete an end-of-treatment visit and enter survival follow-up until the end of 
the study (defined in Section 4.4.3).

If in survival follow-up, the participant can continue in survival follow-up until the 
end of the study (defined in Section 4.4.3).

These participants should complete an end-of-treatment visit or a final survival 
follow-up, as applicable. All participants treated with enzalutamide will reach their 
final assessment. No data will be collected for participants treated with enzalutamide 
beyond this time.
4.4.3
End of study 
The end of the study is defined as the time when the last participant treated with darolutamide
has completed the end of treatment visit or survival follow-up; however, participants may 
continue darolutamide treatment outside of the study.
In the event a roll-over study is established:

The last patient last visit (LPLV) date can be reached based on the last participant 
switching to a roll-over study or being switched to another drug supply.

The present study will end when all participants have transitioned into the roll-over
study or have discontinued from this study for another reason (e.g. consent withdrawn, 
lost to follow-up, death). 

Until the transition to a roll-over study, participants will continue to follow all the 
procedures and visits required in the current version of the protocol.

Lifestyle Considerations
No restrictions are required.
5.4
Screen Failures
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the clinical study but 
are not subsequently entered in the study. A minimal set of screen failure information is 
required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet the Consolidated 
Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and to respond to queries 
from regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes demography, screen failure details, 
eligibility criteria, and any serious adverse event (SAE).
During the screening period, if a participant has failed a test, the test may be repeated if the 
investigator has determined that the repeated screening test does not expose the participant to 
an unjustifiable health risk. The participant may be eligible for study participation if the 
repeated test meets the screening criteria and protocol window.
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may be 
rescreened. A participant who is rescreened is required to sign another ICF. 
6.
Study Intervention
Study intervention is defined as any investigational intervention(s), marketed product(s), 
placebo, or medical device(s) intended to be administered to a study participant according to

Medical Devices
All enrolled participants will perform accelerometry assessments as described in the SoA
(Section 1.3). Additional accelerometry details will be specified in a separate Operational Site 
User manual.
1. Accelerometry medical devices (not manufactured by or for the sponsor) are provided
for use in this study.
2. Medical device incidents, including those resulting from malfunctions of the device, 
must be detected, documented, and reported by the investigator throughout the study.
6.2
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability
Darolutamide should be stored in the original container not above 30°C as indicated on the 
clinical supply label. 
1. The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have been 
maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any discrepancies are 
reported and resolved before use of the study intervention.
2. Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study intervention and only authorized 
site staff may supply or administer study intervention. All study intervention must be 
stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or automated) area 
in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with access limited to the investigator 
and authorized site staff.
3. The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance 
(i.e., receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records).
4. Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study interventions 
will be made available to sites as required.
6.3
Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization
This is an open-label study; however, all participants in the randomized phase will be 
centrally assigned to randomized study intervention using an Interactive Web Response 
System (IWRS). Before the study is initiated, the log in information & directions for the 
IWRS will be provided to each site.
The site will contact the IWRS prior to the start of study intervention administration for each 
participant. The site will record the intervention assignment in the participant’s source 
documents and on the applicable case report form, if required. Potential bias will be reduced 
by central randomization.
6.4
Study Intervention Compliance
Participant compliance with study intervention will be assessed at each visit. Compliance will 
be assessed by direct questioning, counting returned tablets/capsules, etc. The participant
should be asked about the reason for obvious non-compliance. Deviation(s) from the 
prescribed dosage regimen should be recorded in the source records and eCRF.

Concomitant Therapy
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, 
and/or herbal supplements) that the participant is receiving at the time of enrollment or 
receives during the study must be recorded along with:

Reason for use

Dates of administration including start and end dates

Dosage information including dose and frequency
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or 
prior therapy.
All participants must continue to receive ADT of the investigator’s choice (LHRH 
agonist/antagonists) as standard therapy or have had orchiectomy. Switching ADT to an 
LHRH antagonist is permitted during study treatment.
All concomitant treatments must be recorded in the participant’s source documents and on the 
CRFs, from the time of informed consent until the end of treatment visit at the time points 
specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). Once the participant has been withdrawn from treatment 
with the study intervention, subsequent systemic antineoplastic therapies for prostate cancer
also will be recorded. 
Palliative radiation therapy or surgical intervention as needed is allowed during study 
treatment. Treatment with biphosphonates and denosumab is allowed.
Darolutamide is a substrate of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Repeated administration 
of rifampicin (600 mg), a strong CYP3A4 and a P-gp inducer, with a single dose of 
darolutamide (600 mg) together with food, resulted in a decrease of 72% in mean exposure 
[AUC(0‑72)] and a decrease of 52% in Cmax of darolutamide. Use of strong CYP3A4 
inducers and P-gp inducers (e.g. carbamazepine, phenobarbital, St. John's Wort) during 
treatment with darolutamide is not recommended, unless there is no therapeutic alternative. 
Selection of an alternate concomitant medicinal product, with no or weak potential to induce 
CYP3A4 or P-gp should be considered. Concomitant short-term use is allowed.
Administration of 600 mg darolutamide bid over 4 days prior to administration of a single
dose of 5 mg rosuvastatin, a BCRP substrate, together with food resulted in a 5.2-fold
increase in mean exposure [AUC(0–24)] of rosuvastatin and a 4.9-fold increase in Cmax. 
These results indicate that co–administration of darolutamide can also increase the plasma 
concentrations of other concomitant BCRP substrates (e.g. methotrexate, sulfasalazine, 
fluvastatin, atorvastatin). Therefore, participants should be closely monitored for signs and 
symptoms of increased exposure to BCRP substrates. Dose modification of BCRP substrates 
should be considered based on the prescriber information.
For participants receiving enzalutamide in the study, the use of concomitant medications 
should follow the prescriber information for enzalutamide (XTANDITM  Prescribing 
information).
Prohibited concomitant medications and treatments
Concomitant treatment with another systemic antineoplastic therapy or another investigational
medicinal product is prohibited with the exception of ADT throughout the study.
Initiation of the following medications during the study treatment period is prohibited:

any investigational medicinal product

6.6
Dose Modification
In case a dose reduction is necessary, the study intervention will be administered as described 
in the following sections.
The dose or dosing schedule of the study intervention may be modified following the 
occurrence of clinically significant AEs.
6.6.1
Definitions

Delay: Administration of study intervention is later than the planned schedule;
however, no planned doses of medication are actually missed. Delays can only occur 
in regimens with a drug holiday, or regimens consisting of individual doses. Dose 
delay does not apply to the first administration of drug at the start of the study.

Interruption: Unscheduled break in administration during which scheduled doses of 
study intervention are not received.
6.6.2
Dose modifications 
Doses of study intervention may be interrupted or reduced in case of clinically significant 
toxicities that are related to study treatment. All dose modifications regardless of relatedness 
should be recorded on the CRF. 
Study intervention may be interrupted for situations other than treatment-related AEs such as 
medical/surgical events or logistical reasons not related to study therapy. Participants should 
be placed back on study intervention within 28 days of the interruption, unless otherwise 
discussed with the sponsor. The reason for interruption should be documented in the 
participant's study record.
Darolutamide
A participant who experiences a darolutamide treatment-related grade 3 or 4 AE should 
interrupt study treatment until the AE improves to grade 2 or less. Darolutamide treatment is 
then to be restarted at 300 mg bid.
Additional details are provided in Table 6–1.

Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0
a   If darolutamide is interrupted for 28 consecutive days, darolutamide should be permanently 
discontinued.
b   When the AE improves or is resolved, dose escalation to 600 mg bid may be considered at the 
discretion of the investigator.
c   If the dose is re-escalated to 600 mg and any treatment-related AE with a severity grade 3 or 
higher occurs, a permanent dose reduction is required. A third occurrence of a grade 3 or higher 
treatment-related AE requires permanent discontinuation of darolutamide.
Enzalutamide
Dose modification and/or interruption for toxicities considered related to enzalutamide 
treatment can be made according to the prescription information (XTANDITM  Prescribing 
information). If a participant experiences a grade ≥3 toxicity or an intolerable adverse 
reaction, dosing should be withheld for one week or until symptoms improve to grade ≤2, 
then resumed at the same or a reduced dose (120 mg or 80 mg) if warranted.
6.6.3
Dose reduction
Darolutamide
If considered necessary for the participant’s safety, the dose of darolutamide may be reduced 
to 300 mg bid. The medical monitor must be notified of any dose reduction. 
Dosing of darolutamide below 300 mg bid is not allowed. If a grade 3 or higher treatment-
related AE occurs while the participant is on 300 mg bid, the participant must be withdrawn 
from darolutamide.
When an AE leading to dose reduction improves or is resolved, dose re-escalation to 600 mg 
bid may be considered at the discretion of the investigator.
Enzalutamide
Dose reduction of enzalutamide can be done according to the prescription information
(XTANDITM  Prescribing information). The medical monitor must be notified of any dose 
reduction.


CONFIDENTIAL

When an AE leading to dose reduction improves or is resolved, dose re-escalation may be 
considered at the discretion of the investigator.
6.6.4
Dose interruption
Participants should restart study intervention within 7 days of dose interruption, but the 
maximum time allowed for a dose interruption period is 28 consecutive days. Any participant 
requiring treatment interruption >28 consecutive days must be withdrawn from study 
intervention.
6.7
Intervention after the End of the Study
The study will continue until at least 52 weeks from the initial dose of the study intervention
of the last participant randomized in the study, unless the participant discontinued due to lost 
to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.
All anti-cancer treatments after discontinuation of treatment with study intervention in this 
study will be recorded on the CRF.
At the end of study intervention for the individual participant, further therapy is at the 
discretion of the investigator. Participants treated with darolutamide who are clinically 
benefitting can continue to receive treatment.
The sponsor reserves the right to terminate access to study intervention, in particular if any of 
the following occur: 
a) the study is terminated due to safety concerns
b) the participant can obtain medication used in this study as treatment from a government 
sponsored or private health program
7.
Discontinuation of Study Intervention and Participant 
Discontinuation/Withdrawal
All participants who enter the study should complete all applicable study periods. Participants 
can be withdrawn from any study period at any time. Withdrawal from the intervention period 
alone does not constitute withdrawal from the study.
Participants will be followed up for survival status unless they withdraw their informed 
consent.
Participants will continue study intervention until intolerable toxicity or progressive disease.
Participants who withdraw from the intervention period for any reason are to be encouraged 
to remain on the study for follow-up of primary, secondary and other objectives (i.e., continue 
in the active follow-up and survival follow-up periods). Participants are expected to 
participate in follow-up unless they explicitly object. Withdrawal of consent to the 
intervention period should be documented in the participant's medical record. If the 
participant does not wish to be followed up further, this additional consent withdrawal for 
follow-up must also be documented.
7.1
Discontinuation of Study Intervention
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue study 
intervention. If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the participant will remain in 
the study to be evaluated for 52 weeks. 


CONFIDENTIAL

See the SoA (Section 1.3) for data to be collected at the time of intervention discontinuation 
and follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be completed.
7.2
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study

A participant must be withdrawn from the study at any time at his/her own request.

A participant may be withdrawn from the study at any time at the discretion of the 
investigator for safety, behavioral, compliance, or administrative reasons. This is 
expected to be uncommon.

If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor 
may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.

If a participant withdraws from the study, and additionally requests destruction of 
her/his samples taken but not yet tested, the investigator must document this (either 
destruction by site or request to central lab, as applicable) in the site study records.
7.3
Lost to Follow up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he repeatedly fails to return for scheduled 
visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit:

The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as soon 
as possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the assigned 
visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or should 
continue in the study.

Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone 
calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing address 
or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the 
participant’s medical record.

Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered lost to 
follow-up.
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of Appendix 1 
(Section 10.1).
8.
Study Assessments and Procedures

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA (Section 1.3). Protocol
waivers or exemptions are not allowed.

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or discontinue 
study intervention.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA
(Section 1.3), is essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening log 
to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable.

Efficacy Assessments
Assessments specific to tumor burden will not be collected in this study. Participants will be 
followed for survival to assess the 1-year survival rate.
8.2
Safety Assessments
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in the SoA in Section 1.3.
Safety assessments in this study are AEs, as recorded by the investigator. Descriptive 
summary tables will be presented for all safety parameters by each treatment arm. 
All AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 
coding system and graded using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0. A TEAE is defined as any event 
arising or worsening after start of study drug administration until 30 days after the last study 
drug intake.
Fatigue, cognitive function and depression will be assessed as described below.
Other AEs of interest including fractures, falls, fractures, and hypothyroidism will be 
collected with specific questions on CRF.
Study assessments for physical ability and cognitive function are described in Table 8–1.

(FACT-Cog)
The FACT-Cog questionnaire was 
developed to assess perceived cognitive 
function and impact on quality of life 
(QOL) in cancer patients. It is a patient-
reported outcome measure used to 
assess cognitive function in patients 
undergoing cancer therapy.

In addition, fatigue will be assessed using BFI. BFI is a validated tool and consists of three 
questions assessing the severity of fatigue and six questions assessing the impact of fatigue on 
the participant’s mood, social functioning and physical functioning. The BFI is a 9-item scale 
developed to assess subjective fatigue. Each question is asked in relation to the last 24 hours 
and is scored on an 11-point numerical rating scale, with higher scores indicating greater 
fatigue and interference with functionality. The first three questions measure fatigue severity 
at current, usual, and worst levels from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating “no fatigue,” and 10 
indicating “as bad as you can imagine”. The following six questions assess fatigue 
interference with daily activities including general activity, mood, walking ability, normal 
work (both inside and outside the home), relations with other people, and enjoyment of life. 
Response options range from 0 to 10 with 0 indicating “does not interfere” and 10 indicating 
“completely interferes.” Higher scores on the BFI correspond to greater self-reported levels of 
fatigue.
Depression will be assessed using PHQ-9. It is a self-administered version of the Primary 
Care Evaluation of Mental Disorders (PRIME-MD) diagnostic instrument for common mental

disorders. The PHQ-9 is the depression module, which scores each of the 9 Diagnostic and 
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) criteria as “0” (not at all) to “3” (nearly 
every day) (Kroenke et al. 2001). As a severity measure, the PHQ-9 score can range from 0 to 
27, since each of the 9 items can be scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Major 
depression is diagnosed if 5 or more of the 9 depressive symptom criteria have been present at 
least “more than half the days” in the past 2 weeks, and 1 of the symptoms is depressed mood 
or anhedonia. Other depression is diagnosed if 2, 3, or 4 depressive symptoms have been 
present at least “more than half the days” in the past 2 weeks, and 1 of the symptoms is 
depressed mood or anhedonia. One of the 9 symptom criteria (“thoughts that you would be 
better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way”) counts if present at all, regardless of 
duration.
8.2.1
Physical Examinations
A complete routine physical examination will be conducted at the time points outlined in the 
SoA (Section 1.3). Height (only baseline) and weight will also be measured and recorded.
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious illnesses.
8.2.2
Vital Signs
Vital signs will be measured and will include temperature, systolic and diastolic blood 
pressure, and pulse.
8.2.3
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
The laboratory safety assessments will be performed at the time points outlined in the SoA 
(Section 1.3).
Laboratory values will be classified by NCI-CTCAE severity grade.
Additional or repeated laboratory safety assessments may also be obtained according to the 
investigator’s judgment.

See Appendix 2 (Section 10.2) for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed 
and to the SoA (Section 1.3) for the timing and frequency.
o
The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and 
record any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE 
section of the CRF. The laboratory reports must be filed with the source 
documents. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings are those which 
are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition.

If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments performed at 
the institution’s local laboratory are considered clinically significant by the 
investigator, then these also need to be reported as SAE or AE.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or within 28 days after the last dose of study intervention 
should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer 
considered clinically significant by the investigator or medical monitor.
o
If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged 
reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor 
notified.


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 37 of 59
o
All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2 
(Section 10.2), must be conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and 
the SoA (Section 1.3).
o
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments 
performed at the institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant 
management or are considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., SAE 
or AE or dose modification), then the results must be recorded in the CRF. 
8.3
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
New lesions or disease progression per se should not be regarded as an AE. Instead, the 
associated signs and symptoms should be recorded as AEs.
The intensity of AEs should be documented using the National Cancer Institute’s Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE, version 5.0).
If a participant experiences several study intervention-related toxicities with different grading, 
the recommendation of the worst grading should be used.
An isolated laboratory abnormality that meets the criteria for a CTCAE Grade 4 classification 
is not reportable as an SAE, unless the investigator assesses that the event meets standard ICH 
criteria for an SAE (Section 10.3.2).
The study intervention action should be recorded as detailed in the CRF.
- Drug withdrawn
- Drug interrupted
- Dose reduced
- Dose not changed
- Dose increased
- Not applicable
- Unknown
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3).
An AE will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or 
the participant's legally authorized representative or health care professional not involved in 
the study).
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE. They remain responsible for 
following up SAEs, or AEs, considered related to the study intervention or study procedures, 
or those that caused the participant to discontinue the study (see Section 7). AEs of interest 
have to be followed up regardless of causality or relationship to study intervention.
8.3.1
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
An AE (irrespective of causal relationship) not completely resolved at the end of the
pre-defined collection period must be followed up until resolution (defined as chronicity, 
baseline grade or complete resolution) or until the investigator considers the event will not 
improve further.
All SAEs will be collected from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF) until 30 days 
after the last dose, at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 38 of 59
All AEs will be collected from the signing of the ICF until the follow-up visit(s) at the time 
points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).
Medical occurrences that begin before obtaining informed consent will be recorded on the 
medical history section of the case report form (CRF).
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after obtaining 
informed consent will be recorded on the AE section of the CRF.
Medical occurrences that started before but deteriorated after obtaining informed consent will 
be recorded as AEs. 
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and under no 
circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3). The 
investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being 
available.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AE or SAE after conclusion of the study 
participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time 
after a participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be 
reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must 
promptly notify the sponsor.
8.3.2
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AE and SAE and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 3 
(Section 10.3).
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and/or SAEs. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrences.
8.3.3
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs and non-serious AEs of interest will be 
followed until resolution, stabilization, the event is otherwise explained, or the participant is 
lost to follow-up (as defined in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is 
given in Appendix 3 (Section 10.3).
8.3.4
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that 
legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the 
safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.

The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators.

Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary.


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 39 of 59

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will 
review and then file it along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate 
according to local requirements.
8.3.5
Pregnancy

Details of all pregnancies in female partners of male participants will be collected after 
the start of study intervention and until at least 30 days after the last dose.

If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator should inform the sponsor within 24 hours 
of learning of the pregnancy and should follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 4 
(Section 10.4).

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g., spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs.
8.3.6
Disease-Related Events and/or Disease-Related Outcomes Not 
Qualifying as AEs or SAEs
Not applicable. For details on AEs and SAEs, refer to Section 10.3.
8.4
Treatment of Overdose
Darolutamide
For this study, any dose of darolutamide greater than 600 mg (2 tablets of 300 mg) twice daily
within a 24-hour time period will be considered an overdose.
The highest dose of darolutamide studied clinically was 900 mg twice daily, equal to a total 
daily dose of 1800 mg. No dose limiting toxicities were observed with this dose.
Considering the saturable absorption and the absence of evidence for acute toxicity, an intake 
of a higher than recommended dose of darolutamide is not expected to lead to toxicity.
Therefore, in the event of intake of a higher than recommended dose, it is suggested that 
darolutamide treatment be continued with the next dose as scheduled.
For detailed guidance on overdosing, please refer to the most current version of the IB for
darolutamide.
Enzalutamide
For detailed guidance on overdosing please refer to the prescribing information for 
enzalutamide (XTANDITM  Prescribing information).
In the event of an overdose of study intervention
In the event of an overdose, the investigator should:
1. Closely monitor the participant for any AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities.
2. Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis within 3 days from the date of the last dose 
of study intervention if requested by the Medical Monitor (determined on a 
case-by-case basis).
3. Any overdose or incorrect administration of study drug should be noted in the 
participant’s source documents and on the Study Drug Administration eCRF.

Statistical Considerations
9.1
Statistical Hypotheses
There is no formal statistical hypothesis testing for the lead-in part of the study.
For the randomized portion of the study, this study will test the null hypothesis of no 
difference in the proportion of participants with a worsening in physical function as assessed 
by the TUG test in the two arms against the alternative hypothesis that there is a difference.
9.2
Sample Size Determination
Lead-in phase 
Approximately 30 participants will receive study intervention in the lead-in phase of the 
study. The example point estimates of decline rates (physical or cognitive function) and the 
corresponding 2-sided 95% CI (based on exact binomial distribution) are shown in Table 9–1. 
For instance, decline/worsening for TUG test is defined as an increase of at least 1 second in 
TUG time from baseline. The definition of decline in cognitive functions is provided in 
Section 9.4.2. The values are provided as a reference rather than a basis for decision making.

Randomized phase
The sample size calculation for the randomized phase of the study is based on the primary 
endpoint of physical decline (using TUG test as an example). In the event that the primary 
endpoint or the assumed rate of decline changes based on results from the lead-in phase of the 
study, the sample size will be adjusted accordingly.
Approximately 120 participants in the randomized phase of the study will provide 85% power 
to detect a difference of 20% in the two arms using one-sided alpha of 10%. This is assuming 
that 20% of participants in the darolutamide arm and 40% of participants in the enzalutamide 
arm will have a worsening in physical function at 24 weeks as measured by the TUG test. 
Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 1 second in TUG time from baseline. A 10% 
drop-out rate is assumed.
9.3
Populations for Analyses
For the purposes of the analysis, the following populations are defined:
Population
Description
Enrolled
All participants who sign the ICF
Full analysis set (FAS)
All enrolled participants or all randomized patients (for the 
randomized portion of the study). This population will be used for 
baseline and disposition summaries as well as for the analysis of 
secondary endpoints related to efficacy.
Safety population
All enrolled (or randomized for the randomized portion of the study) 
participants who received any quantity of study intervention, 
regardless of their eligibility for the study. The safety evaluation will 
be performed based on the intervention actually received.
The safety population will be used for all baseline, exposure, 
physical function, cognitive function, daily function, and safety
analyses. For the evaluation of each endpoint using an instrument 
or questionnaire, participants with baseline and at least one post-
baseline assessment will be included.
9.4
Statistical Analyses
The statistical analysis plan (SAP) will be developed and finalized before database lock and 
will describe the participant populations to be included in the analyses and procedures for 
accounting for missing, unused, and spurious data. This section is a summary of the planned 
statistical analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints. Additional exploratory analyses 
of the data will be conducted as deemed appropriate.


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609

All variables will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods: categorical variables by 
frequency tables (absolute and relative frequencies) and continuous variables by sample 
statistics (i.e., mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, quartiles, and maximum). 
Continuous variables will be described by absolute value and as change from baseline per 
analysis time point, if applicable.
The primary analysis for the lead-in phase of the study will occur when the last participant has 
been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the participant discontinued due to lost to 
follow-up, withdrawal, or death. The primary analysis for the randomized phase of the study 
will occur when the last participant has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the 
participant discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. The final analysis for 
the randomized phase of the study will occur when the last participant has been on the study
for at least 52 weeks after the start of study intervention, unless the participant discontinued 
due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. Separate analyses will be performed for the 
lead-in phase and the randomized phase of the study. Participants will not be pooled across 
the two phases of the study.
9.4.1
Efficacy Analyses
Endpoint
Statistical Analysis
Primary
There is no primary efficacy endpoint in this study.
Secondary
The study is not powered to test a specific hypothesis for efficacy, therefore, 
the two arms will not be formally compared for efficacy.

The time to PSA progression will be calculated as the time from 
randomization (or the date of the first dose for participants in the lead-in 
phase) to the time when the criteria for PSA progression according to 
PCWG3. The PCWG3 guideline defines PSA progression as the date 
that an increase of 25% or more and absolute increase of 2 ng/mL or 
more from the nadir are documented. For participants who had an initial 
PSA decline during treatment, this must be confirmed by a second 
value 3 or more weeks later. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to 
estimate the median time to PSA progression and 95% CIs for each 
treatment arm.

Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization 
(or the date of the first dose for participants in the lead-in phase) to 
death due to any cause. Participants who did not die will be censored at 
the date known to be alive. The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to 
estimate the median survival and survival rate at the 1-year time-point 
along with the 95% CI for each treatment arm. 
Other pre-specified
Will be described in the statistical analysis plan 
9.4.2
Safety Analyses
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety population.
Endpoints measuring physical function, cognitive function, and daily activity will also be 
performed on the Safety population.

Interim Analyses
No formal interim analyses are planned in this study. However, this study will be conducted
in two phases and the primary analysis for the lead-in phase will be performed when the last 
participant in the lead-in phase has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the 
participant discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. The decision to move 
to the randomized phase of the study will involve reviewing the findings from the lead-in 
phase of the study with the members of the steering committee.
The primary analysis for the randomized phase for the study will occur when last participant 
in the randomized phase of the study has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, unless the 
participant discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death. A final analysis for the 
randomized phase for the study will occur when last participant in the randomized phase of 
the study has been on the study for at least 52 weeks, unless the participant discontinued due 
to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.

10.1.6
Data Quality Assurance

All participant data relating to the study will be recorded on printed or electronic CRF 
unless transmitted to the sponsor or designee electronically (e.g., laboratory data). The 
investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate and correct by 
physically or electronically signing the CRF.

The investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that supports the 
information entered in the CRF.

The investigator must permit study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, and 
regulatory agency inspections and provide direct access to source data documents.

Monitoring details describing strategy (e.g., risk-based initiatives in operations and 
quality such as Risk Management and Mitigation Strategies and Analytical Risk-
Based Monitoring), methods, responsibilities and requirements, including handling of 
noncompliance issues and monitoring techniques (central, remote, or on-site 
monitoring) are provided in the Monitoring Plan.

The sponsor or designee is responsible for the data management of this study 
including quality checking of the data.

The sponsor assumes accountability for actions delegated to other individuals (e.g., 
Contract Research Organizations).

Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification to confirm that data 
entered into the CRF by authorized site personnel are accurate, complete, and 
verifiable from source documents; that the safety and rights of participants are being 
protected; and that the study is being conducted in accordance with the currently 
approved protocol and any other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all applicable 
regulatory requirements.

Records and documents should be retained for the longer of the two periods prescribed 
below: 
o
Records and documents, including signed ICFs, pertaining to the conduct of 
this study must be retained by the investigator for 15 years after study 
completion unless local regulations or institutional policies require a longer 
retention period. No records may be destroyed during the retention period 
without the written approval of the sponsor. No records may be transferred to 
another location or party without written notification to the sponsor.
10.1.7
Source Documents

Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the participant and 
substantiate the integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the 
investigator’s site.

Data reported on the CRF or entered in the eCRF that are transcribed from source 
documents must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies must be 
explained. The investigator may need to request previous medical records or transfer 
records, depending on the study. Also, current medical records must be available.

Definition of what constitutes source data can be found in the monitoring plan.
10.1.8
Study and Site Closure
The sponsor designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor. Study sites will be closed upon study 


CONFIDENTIAL

Page 48 of 59
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study supplies 
have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed.
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable cause 
and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include but are 
not limited to:

Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB/IEC or local health authorities, the sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines

Inadequate recruitment of participants by the investigator

Discontinuation of further study intervention development

If risk-benefit ratio becomes unacceptable owing to, for example,
Safety findings from this study (e.g. SAEs) 
Results of parallel clinical Bayer studies or emerging data from literature
Results of parallel animal studies (on e.g. toxicity, teratogenicity, carcinogenicity 
or reproduction toxicity).

If the study conduct (e.g. recruitment rate; dropout rate; protocol compliance) does not 
suggest a proper completion of the trial within a reasonable time frame.

strategic reasons (e.g. the clinical development of the drug is stopped)
The site is entitled to end its participation in the study if necessary due to medical or ethical 
reasons.
For any of the above closures, the following applies:

Closures should occur only after consultation between involved parties. Final decision 
on the closure must be in writing.

All affected institutions (e.g., IEC(s)/IRB(s); competent authority (ies); study center; 
head of study center) must be informed as applicable according to local law.

All study materials (except documentation that has to remain stored at site) must be
returned to the sponsor. The investigator will retain all other documents until 
notification is given by the sponsor for destruction.
In the event of a study closure, participants on treatment and those in post-study follow-up 
must be taken care of in an ethical manner.
10.1.9

Appendix 3: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for Recording, 
Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
10.3.1
Definition of AE
AE Definition

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study 


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 51 of 59
AE Definition
participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or 
not considered related to the study intervention.

Note: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) 
temporally associated with the use of study intervention.
Events Meeting the AE Definition

Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or 
other safety assessments (e.g., electrocardiogram, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (i.e., not related to 
progression of underlying disease).

Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition.

New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an 
AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae.

The signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be 
reported as an AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an AE or SAE. Also, “lack 
of efficacy” or “failure of expected pharmacological action” also constitutes an AE 
or SAE.
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition

Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition.

Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE.

Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital).

Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.

10.3.2
Definition of SAE
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, death 
due to progression of disease).
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
a.
Results in death
b.
Is life-threatening
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which the 
participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, which 
hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe.
c.
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been detained (usually involving 
at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation and/or 
treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or outpatient 
setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are AEs. If a complication prolongs 
hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to 
whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered serious.
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE.
d.
Results in persistent disability/incapacity

The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct 
normal life functions.

This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (e.g., sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
e.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
f.
Other situations:

Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that 
may not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may 
jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These events should usually 
be considered serious.
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency 
or drug abuse.

10.3.3
Recording and Follow-Up of AE and/or SAE
AE and SAE Recording

When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and diagnostics 
reports) related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the CRF.

It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to the sponsor in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE CRF page.

There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by the sponsor. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception 
of the participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records 
before submission to the sponsor.

The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE.
Assessment of Intensity
All AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) 
coding system and graded using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.
An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes as 
described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.
Assessment of Causality

The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE.

A “reasonable possibility” of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out.

The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship.

Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated.

The investigator will also consult the IB and/or Product Information, for marketed 
products, in his/her assessment.

For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality.

There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to the sponsor. However, it is 
very important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality 
for every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to the sponsor.

The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 


CONFIDENTIAL
Clinical Study Protocol
BAY 1841788 / 20609
Page 54 of 59
Assessment of Causality
assessment.

The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs

The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by the 
sponsor to elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as 
possible. This may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, 
histopathological examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals.

If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized 
follow-up period, the investigator will provide the sponsor with a copy of any 
post-mortem findings including histopathology.

New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed CRF.

The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours 
of receipt of the information.
10.3.4
Reporting of SAEs
SAE Reporting to the Sponsor via an Electronic Data Collection Tool

The primary mechanism for reporting an SAE to the sponsor will be the electronic 
data collection tool.

If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next section) in order to report the event within 24 hours.

The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available.

After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will 
be taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data.

If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to safety at the vendor by telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the Investigator site file.
SAE Reporting to the Sponsor via Paper CRF

Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper CRF is the preferred method to transmit 
this information to safety at the vendor.

In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by 
overnight mail or courier service.

Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 


CONFIDENTIAL

complete and sign the SAE CRF pages within the designated reporting time frames.

Appendix 4: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of Pregnancy 
Information
Contraception Guidance for women of childbearing potential: (see Inclusion criterion 3, 
Section 5.1)
The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the participant how to 
achieve highly effective birth control in women of childbearing potential. Highly effective 
(failure rate of less than 1% per year) contraception methods include:

Combined (estrogen and progesterone containing: oral, intravaginal, transdermal) and 
progesterone-only (oral, injectable, implantable) hormonal contraception associated 
with inhibition of ovulation.

Intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS).

Bilateral tubal occlusion or vasectomized partner (provided that the partner is the sole 
sexual partner and has received medical assessment of the surgical success).

Sexual abstinence (reliability to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical 
trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant). 
Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and 
withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Collection of Pregnancy Information
Male participants with partners who become pregnant:

The investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male 
participant’s female partner who becomes pregnant while the male participant is in 
this study. This applies only to male participants who receive study intervention.

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female 
partner directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the appropriate 
form and submit it to the sponsor within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s 
pregnancy. The female partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the 
pregnancy. Information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to the 
sponsor. Generally, the follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the 
estimated delivery date. Any termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless 
of fetal status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for the procedure.

Primary 
 
The primary objective of this study is to 
compare the effects of treatment with 
darolutamide vs. enzalutamide on physical 
function as assessed by the Timed Up and 
Go (TUG) test in participants with 
castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). 
Proportion of participants with a worsening in 
TUG time during the 24-week period from 
baseline. Worsening is defined as an increase of 
at least 1 second from baseline, using the best 
TUG time out of the measured assessments 
during study visits. (The minimum clinically 
important difference [MCID] in TUG time is 
1 second (Davies et al. 2016)) [1].

participants with CRPC, treated with darolutamide (or enzalutamide in 
randomized phase). It will also evaluate, safety, cognitive function, fatigue, 
and survival.  
The study consists of two phases, a lead-in phase and a randomized phase. 
In the lead-in phase, approximately 30 participants will be treated with 
darolutamide. The lead-in phase analysis will be performed when the last 
participant in the lead-in phase has been on the study for at least 24 weeks, 
unless the participant discontinued due to lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or 
death. The decision to move to the randomized phase of the study will will 
be conditional on the findings of the lead-in phase which will be reviewed 
with the members of the steering committee. Findings of the lead-in phase 
will determine feasibility to move on or not with a randomized phase. If 
determined feasible and decided to proceed with the randomized phase, 
the appropriate endpoint and the time point and time frame of evaluation 
of the endpoint for a randomized part of the study will be chosen and the 
sample size will be reassessed.  
In the randomized phase, approximately 120 additional participants will be 
randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either darolutamide (600 mg twice 
daily) or enzalutamide (160 mg once daily) in the randomized phase of the 
study. Randomization will be stratified by age (<75, ≥75 years). 
The endpoints used in this study are novel in a way that, decline in physical 
function, will be evaluated using objective measures such as TUG, SPPB, 
and accelerometry, therefore, the lead-in phase has been added to be able 
to assess compliance and the variability of the endpoints and overall 
feasibility of the study execution. The randomized phase of the study will 
start only after a decision is made based on the findings from the primary 
analysis of the lead-in phase as described above.

3.2 Blinding and Unblinding 
This is an open-label study; blinding techniques are not required. 
 
No formal interim analyses are planned in this study and a Data Monitoring 
Committee will not be utilized. However, a Steering Committee will provide 
strategic direction, guidance and oversight for the study.  This committee 
will meet approximately once a year or as required to keep track of issues 
and the progress of the study’s implementation and activity. 
 
3.3 Randomization and Stratification 
Following the primary evaluation of the lead-in phase,  approximately 
120 additional patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either 
darolutamide (600 mg twice daily) or enzalutamide (160 mg once daily) 
using an Interactive Web Response System. Randomization will be 
stratified by age (<75, ≥75 years). 
 
3.4 Sample Size 
Lead-in phase  
Approximately 30 participants will receive study intervention in the lead-
in phase of the study. The example point estimates of decline rates 
(physical or cognitive function), and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CI 
(based on exact binomial distribution) are shown in Table 2. For instance, 
decline/worsening for TUG test is defined as an increase of at least 
1 second in TUG time from baseline. The values are provided as a 
reference rather than a basis for decision making.

Randomized phase  
The sample size calculation for the randomized phase of the study is 
based on the primary endpoint of physical decline (using TUG test as an 
example). In the event that the primary endpoint or the assumed rate of 
decline changes based on results from the lead-in phase of the study, 
the sample size will be adjusted accordingly. 
Approximately 120 participants in the randomized phase of the study will 
provide 85% power to detect a difference of 20% in the two arms using 
one-sided alpha of 10%. This is assuming that 20% of participants in the 
darolutamide arm and 40% of participants in the enzalutamide arm will 
have a worsening in physical function at 24 weeks as measured by the 
TUG test. Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 1 second in TUG 
time from baseline. A 10% drop-out rate is assumed.

Management of Analysis Data  
The data from all study centers will be pooled together for analyses. 
Participants will not be pooled across the two phases of the study, 
separate analyses will be performed for the lead-in phase and 
randomized phase. 
 
4.1 Data Handling 
Unscheduled laboratory results will not be analyzed for the visit 
summary of continuous values but will be included in the laboratory shift 
tables.  
4.2 Missing Data 
The primary endpoint is the Proportion of patients with worsening in TUG 
time from Baseline. Primary endpoint-related missing data will not be 
imputed, but a sensitivity analysis will be conducted by replacing missing 
TUG times with ≥ 1 second increase.   
All missing or partial date will be presented in the patient listings, as they 
are recorded on the case report form, unless otherwise specified. 
A conservative approach will be taken for partial or missing dates of AE 
and concomitant medications.  Partial dates with missing day only will be 
imputed to either first of month, or first dose date if it falls in the same 
month.  Partial dates with missing month will be imputed to either

Statistical Methods 
5.1 General 
Demographic and baseline characteristics, efficacy assessments, and 
safety data will be summarized for the lead-in Phase and for the 
Randomization Phase separately.  The Lead-in Phase summary will be 
based on a single group of subjects treated with darolutamide, while the 
Randomization 
Phase 
will 
be 
summarized 
by 
darolutamide, 
enzalutamide and overall groups.  Unless otherwise stated, all analyses 
described below will be applied to both phases of the trial. 
 
All variables will be analyzed with appropriate statistical methods.  
Continuous data will be presented as n, mean, standard deviation, 
median, quartiles, minimum, and maximum. Continuous variables will be 
described by absolute value and as change from baseline per analysis 
time point. Categorical data will be presented as frequency counts , 
percentages and 95% CI. All raw data collected will be listed.  
 
5.1.1 Definitions 
Baseline: The last measurements taken prior to first exposure to study 
drug, including Day 1 measurements taken pre-dosing. If patients have 
no value as defined above for a particular parameter, the baseline value 
will be missing.

5.3.3 Protocol Deviations 
Protocol deviations are categorized by Theradex Oncology and Bayer 
HealthCare BioPharma as minor protocol deviations (a protocol deviation 
that does not have a significant impact on the research participant’s rights, 
safety, or welfare; the integrity of the data; nor substantially alter risks to 
subjects as determined by IRB), and major protocol deviations (a deviation 
from the protocol, International Council for Harmonization Good Clinical 
Practice [ICH-GCP], or local requirements that may impact patient safety, 
affect the scientific integrity of the trial, or the patient’s willingness to 
participate in the trial).  
 
5.3.4 Prior Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy 
Prior systemic life prolonging anti-cancer therapies including treatment 
intent, the number of regimens (1, >=2) administered, best response, and 
discontinuation reason along with therapy types (Abiraterona acetate, 
prednisone, 
enzalutamide, 
apalutamide, 
darolutamide, 
docetaxel, 
bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, Radium-223, sipuluecel-t,  and 
systemic radiotherapy) as allowed based on exclusion criteria, will be 
summarized by frequency and percentage of patients within each category. 
 
5.3.5 Prior Radiotherapy and Prior Surgery 
Prior radiotherapy including intent, type, relieve skeletal symptom, 
irradiated location, best response, and prior surgeries will be summarized 
by frequency and percentage of patients within each category. 
 
5.3.6 Demographics and Baseline Characteristics 
Demographic data including age categories (<75, ≥75 ), sex, race, ethnicity, 
CRPC metastatic status and Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) are 
summarized by frequency and percentage of patients within each category.  
 
Age is also summarized using descriptive statistics as a continuous 
variable. Dominant hand and education level are summarized by frequency 
and percentage of patients within each category.

participant discontinued due to being lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or 
death.  
 
The final analysis for the randomized phase of the study will occur when 
the last participant has been on the study for at least 52 weeks after the 
start of study intervention, unless the participant discontinued due to being 
lost to follow-up, withdrawal, or death.  
 
5.4.1 Primary Efficacy Endpoint Analysis 
There is no primary efficacy endpoint in this study. 
 
5.4.2 Secondary Efficacy Endpoint Analyses 
The study is not powered to test a specific hypothesis for efficacy, the two 
arms will not be formally compared for efficacy. 
 
Time to PSA progression will be calculated as the time from 
randomization (or the date of the first dose for participants in the lead-in 
phase) to the time when the criteria for PSA progression (according to 
PCWG3) are met. The PCWG3 guideline defines PSA progression as the date 
that an increase of 25% or more and absolute increase of 2 ng/mL or more 
from the nadir are documented. For participants who had an initial PSA 
decline during treatment, this must be confirmed by a second value 3 or 
more weeks later. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to estimate the 
median time to PSA progression and 95% CIs for each treatment arm.
 
The SAS procedure, Proc Lifetest, will be used to calculate estimates of the 
time to PSA progression using Kaplan-Meier methodology. The Kaplan-
Meier curves for the time to PSA progression will be presented. Confidence 
intervals (CIs) for the median duration times are calculated using the 
method by Brookmeyer and Crowley [2]. CIs for point estimates of the 
survival distribution are calculated using the method by Kalbfleisch and 
Prentice [3]. Patients who did not have a PSA progression event at the time 
of analysis (either for lead-in or randomization phase) will be censored at 
the date of the last assessment showing no evidence of PSA progression 
 
PSA response at 24 and 52 weeks

Number (%) of subjects achieving 30% / 50% / 90% PSA reduction from 
baseline will be summarized for the time period up to and including each 
visit. 
 
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of 
randomization (or the date of the first dose for participants in the lead-in 
phase) to death due to any cause. Participants who are still alive will be 
censored at the last date known to be alive. The Kaplan-Meier method will 
be used to estimate the median survival and survival rate at the 1-year 
timepoint along with the 95% CI for each treatment arm of the randomized 
phase (not to be analyzed in lead-in phase). 
 
A listing of deaths on study or within 30 days post-last dose will also be 
produced.

5.5 Safety and Tolerability Analysis 
Safety analyses are based on the Safety population. Descriptive statistics 
are used to summarize the safety parameters. Safety data including AEs, 
AESI, laboratory parameters, vital signs, exposure and KPS. The protocol 
schedule of events and windowing will be used for the applicable safety 
table assessments. 
 
Endpoints measuring physical function, daily activity and cognitive function 
will also be performed on the Safety population.  
 
5.5.1 Primary Endpoint Analyses

three assessments). Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 
1 second in TUG time from baseline. 
The proportion of participants with a worsening in TUG time and the (exact) 
95% CIs will be summarized by treatment arm. A comparison between  
treatment arms will be made using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test 
adjusting for Age (<75, ≥75). A sensitivity analysis will be provided by 
replacing missing TUG times with ≥ 1 second increase. Primary endpoint 
(worsening in TUG) analysis will be performed by age (<75, ≥75), metastatic 
state (nmCRPC, mCRPC), Pain (yes, no pain), and opioid use (yes, no opioid 
use).  Information on pain and opioid use will be retrieved from an 
examination of medical history and prior medication CRFs. 
5.5.2 Secondary Endpoints Analyses 
Physical function  
x
Proportion of participants with a worsening  in TUG time from baseline 
at 12 and 24 week study visits, and at any time up to 52 weeks will be 
summarized. 
x
TUG time (secs) and percent change from baseline will also be 
summarized by metastatic/non-metastatic CRPC status, pain (yes, no 
pain), and opioid use (yes, no opioid use).   
x
At each assessment, status of TUG time will be summarized as the 
categories of improved, stable or worsened. 
x
Time to worsening in TUG time will be defined as time from 
randomization (or time from first dose for participants in the lead-in 
phase) to the first date a participant had a worsening. Time to 
worsening in TUG time will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier 
methodology, and a comparison between the two arms in the 
randomization phase will be made using a two-sided, stratified log-rank 
test, stratified by Age (<75, ≥75). The hazard ratio as well as its 95% CI 
will be presented using a stratified Cox regression model. An 
unstratified analysis will also be performed. The Kaplan-Meier plots will 
be provided for both stratified and unstratified analyses.

Pain (yes, no pain), opioid use (yes, no opioid use). 
 
Daily Activity 
x
Descriptive statistics on mean change and percent change from 
baseline in daily activity, measured as counts per minute (CPM), will be 
provided for both lead-in at 12 and 24 weeks and randomization phase 
at 12, 24 and 52 weeks.   Subjects must provide at least 2 out of 7 days 
of data prior to the visit, each day containing ≥10 awake hours, to be 
considered eligible for analysis.  For each epoch, counts from the X, Y 
and Z axes will be converted to a single measure per the vector 
magnitude =  
ඥ(ܽݔ݅ݏ 1)ଶ+ (ܽݔ݅ݏ 2)ଶ+ (ܽݔ݅ݏ 3)ଶ 
 
CPM for each valid day is defined as ‘awake wear-filtered total vector 
magnitude counts’ divided by ‘awake wear minutes’.  A subject’s CPM at 
each visit is the average of daily CPM. 
x
CPM will also be analyzed by age (<75, ≥75), metastatic state (nmCRPC, 
mCRPC), pain (yes, no pain), and opioid use (yes, no opioid use) in both 
phases.    In the randomization phase, model-based least squares 
means on percent change from baseline in CPM will  be reported for 
treatment group, adjusting for baseline CPM, age (<75, ≥75), metastatic 
state (nmCRPC, mCRPC), pain (yes, no pain) and opioid use (yes, no 
opioid use). 
x
Because of the skewed nature of CPM data, summary statistics will also 
be provided for log-transformed CPM.  For summary statistics by visit, 
calculations are done on the log scale, and then back-transformed at 
the end.  For % change from baseline, the back-transform for (LS)mean 
(95% CI) =  100 × [exp( (LS)mean change from baseline (95% CI) in natural 
logarithm) – 1].    
x
For the randomization phase, treatment arms will be compared at each 
visit using 2-sample t-test, mean change difference (SE), 95% CI and p-
value of darolutamide vs. enzalutamide will be provided.  
x
The percentage of time at each visit that CPM fall into the following 
categories will be summarized for the lead-in phase: Sedentary (0-99), 
Light (100-1951), Moderate (1952-5724), Vigorous (5725-9498), Very 
vigorous (9499-∞).  Also mean change and percentage change from

Cognitive function 
x
The proportion of participants with a decline in cognitive function at 
24 and within 52 weeks as assessed by HVLT-R, TMT, and COWA, will be 
summarized. At each assessment, the change in score from baseline will 
be calculated and the status of cognitive function will be categorized as 
improved, stable, or declined using the Reliable Change Index (RCI) as 
shown below. Each test will be assessed individually. The proportion of 
participants with a decline and exact 95% CIs will be summarized. For 
the randomization phase, the proportion of subjects with a decline will 
be summarized separately by treatment arm, and a comparison 
between arms at week 24 and week 52 will be made using CMH test 
adjusting for Age (<75, ≥75).

flexibility (i.e., executive function). On 
this subtest, dots with numbers and 
letters are randomly scattered on the 
test page. Participants are required to 
alternate between connecting 
numbers and letters in an ascending 
sequential order.  
Both tests require the participants to 
complete the sequence as fast as 
possible. TMTA is discontinued after 
3 minutes and TMTB is discontinued 
after 5 minutes for participants who 
have difficulty in order to reduce 
participant burden.

Controlled Oral 
Word Association 
(COWA) 
The COWA test assesses lexical 
fluency. Given a specific letter of the 
alphabet, participants are required to 
produce as many words as possible 
that begin with that letter. There are 
two alternate forms of the COWA, 
0 – unlimited 
words 
±12 words

Cognitive tests – Patient-reported outcomes 
Functional 
Assessment of 
Cancer Therapy-
Cognitive (FACT-
Cog) 
The FACT-Cog questionnaire was 
developed to assess perceived 
cognitive function and impact on 
quality of life in cancer patients. It is a 
patient-reported outcome measure 
used to assess cognitive function in 
patients undergoing cancer therapy.  
0–72 points

Note: 
COWA = Controlled Oral Word Association; FACT-Cog = Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-
Cognitive; HVLT-R DR = Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised Delayed Recall; HVLT-R RECOG = Hopkins 
Verbal Learning Test-Revised Delayed Recognition; HVLT-R TR = Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised 
Total Recall; MCID = minimal clinically important difference; RCI = reliable change index; SPPB = Short 
Physical Performance Battery; TMTA/TMTB = Trail Making Test Part A/B; TUG = Timed up and Go 
 
5.5.4 Treatment Exposure and Compliance  
Study drug (Darolutamide / Enzalutamide) exposure and compliance will 
be summarized using descriptive statistics.  The summary of treatment 
exposure will include number of cycles, duration of treatment, total actual 
dose and total intended dose. Duration of Exposure is defined as the 
duration between the first and last dose of treatment (last dose date - first 
dose date+1). Total Actual Dose is defined as the sum of all treatment 
administered over the entire course of the study. Total Intended Dose is 
defined as the sum of intended doses during the duration of exposure, 
based on no modifications to dose or schedule. Percent Compliance is 
defined as the Total Actual Dose divided by Total Intended Dose multiplied 
by 100% for each patient. The frequency and percentage of patients 
receiving <100%, 100%, and >100% of their dose compliance are 
summarized.  
 
The number of patients with dose reductions, increased, interrupted and 
withdrawn (along with their reasons) are all summarized using frequency 
counts and percentages, for patients that received darolutamide or 
enzalutamide.

A TEAE is defined as any event arising or worsening after first dose study 
drug until 30 days after last dose. If an AE occurs before the first dose of 
treatment it will be considered a non-treatment emergent AE.  
 
TEAEs and AEs will be summarized by frequency and percentage of patients 
and tabulated by MedDRA system organ class (SOC) and preferred term 
(PT), by maximum NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 grade and by drug relationship as 
not related and related to treatment. SAEs, TEAEs leading to treatment 
discontinuation and deaths will be summarized. Drug-related TEAEs by 
CTCAE grade, and drug-related grade 3 or higher TEAEs are summarized. 
Patients with multiple TEAEs or AEs are counted once within a summary 
category-SOC, PT, maximum grade, or relationship to treatments.  
 
AESI be summarized by SOC and PT and grade in separate summary tables. 
All AEs will be listed. 
 
5.5.6 Laboratory Data 
Laboratory data are summarized by laboratory tests for the treatment 
period, defined as the time from first dose up to 30 days post last dose of 
treatment. Laboratory data are converted to SI units prior to 
summarization. All laboratory tests are provided in patient data listings. 
The listings indicate the normal ranges for each parameter. Each value, if 
appropriate, is classified as falling above (H), below (L), or within normal 
range and also graded using the CTCAE criteria.  
 
The observed data and change from baseline are summarized at each of 
the laboratory timepoints, using descriptive statistics, for hematology, 
chemistry and urinalysis laboratory tests.  
 
The changes from baseline to maximum CTCAE grade during treatment are 
summarized by frequency and percentage of patients using shift tables for 
every gradable hematology and chemistry tests. Maximum CTCAE Grade is 
defined as the highest CTCAE version 5.0 grade reported during the 
treatment period.  
 
A listing of patients with grade 3 or 4 laboratory values during treatment 
period is also provided.

Vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse rate, and temperature, as well 
as weight and height are summarized using descriptive statistics.  
 
5.5.8 Concomitant and Prior Medications 
Prior and Concomitant medications are coded using the World Health 
Organization Drug Dictionary Enhanced (WHO-DDE version 2020Mar or 
higher), tabulated by drug class and term, and summarized by frequency 
and percentage of patients. Patients are counted only once in each 
summary category (e.g. drug class or term).  
 
Prior medications are defined as medications taken within 12 weeks and 
stopped before treatment Day 1. Concomitant medications are defined as 
ongoing at treatment Day 1 or taken on Day 1 or thereafter up to the last 
dose of treatment plus 30 days. Prior and concomitant medications are 
summarized within each category separately and listed.

Accelerometry assessment will require the participant to wear an accelerometry device on the wrist or hip for a minimum of 7 days at each time 
point. The first accelerometry assessment is to be performed before the first dose (i.e. during screening).
f
Cognitive function tests include the HVLT-R, TMT, and COWA, as well as the patient-reported outcome questionnaire FACT-Cog.
g
BFI is a 5 minute self-assessment tool that identifies fatigue in cancer participants over a 24-hour period.
h    The first TUG assessment is to be performed before the first dose (either during screening or Week 1 Day 1).
i     Once the baseline procedures are completed, the first administration of study intervention will be provided at the study center and the participant 
will be provided with additional medication to take as scheduled through the Week 4 visit. (Each participant will be instructed to bring any
remaining drug back to the center at the Week 4 visit.)
j     At this and each subsequent visit, the participant will return dispensed but unused study intervention to the investigator for recording on the CRF. 
Reasons for non-compliance will be recorded. A new supply of study drug sufficient to meet the dosing requirements of each participant will be 
dispensed.
k    Participants remaining on treatment beyond Week 52 will continue, where possible, to receive study intervention and assessments until the final
evaluation of the randomized phase (i.e. at Week 52 for the last participant, see Protocol Section 4.4.1)
l     Prior to the final evaluation of the randomized phase of the study, all participants will go into Week 53 active follow-up or survival follow-up as 
applicable.
m
Each participant should complete an end of treatment visit after discontinuation of study intervention for any reason. All anti-cancer treatments 
after discontinuation of study intervention in this study will be recorded on the CRF at the end of treatment visit. See Section 4.4.2 for more 
details once the date of the final evaluation of the randomized phase is determined. 
QSurvival will be followed with contact with the participant and/or his caregiver every 3 months following the date of last treatment
