PROVEN RESULTS IN mHSPC

mHSPC stands for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

**NUBEQA in combination with docetaxel* (chemotherapy) was studied in patients with mHSPC**

The ARASENS study looked at NUBEQA + docetaxel (chemotherapy^†) and hormone therapy^‡ in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) compared to docetaxel* (chemotherapy^†) and hormone therapy.^‡

Select inclusion criteria:

1306 men between the ages of 41 and 89 were included in the study, with a median^§ age of 67
83% of men in the study had stage M1b prostate cancer, meaning their cancer had spread to their bones
71% (928 men) were still physically able to do things they could before their disease^¶

About half of the patients in the study took NUBEQA + doxetaxel (chemotherapy) and hormone therapy, while the other half did not.

NUBEQA group (651 men)
NUBEQA + hormone therapy^‡ + docetaxel* (chemotherapy^†)

Placebo group (655 men)
Hormone therapy^‡ + docetaxel* (chemotherapy^†)

^*Docetaxel is an intravenous (IV) chemotherapy infusion used in combination with NUBEQA to treat mHSPC.

^†Docetaxel 75mg/m² for 21 days for 6 cycles. Note 21 days is one cycle.

^‡Hormone therapy includes drug treatments or surgery to lower testosterone.

^§Median is the middle value in a set of numbers, not the average.

^¶According to the Easter Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) scale. 29% of patients had an ECOG performance status score of 1, meaning they were restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature.

In the ARASENS study, the addition of NUBEQA to docetaxel (chemotherapy) helped men live life longer

Men with mHSPC who added NUBEQA + hormone therapy + docetaxel (chemotherapy) had a 32% lower risk of dying than men who only received hormone therapy + chemotherapy.

Median^§ for the treatment groups were: NR (not reached) for NUBEQA + docetaxel (NR, NR) and 48.9 (44.4, NR) for placebo + docetaxel.

At the time of analysis, 35% (229 out of 651) of patients in the NUBEQA with docetaxel group died compared to 46% (304 out of 654) of patients in the placebo with docetaxel group.

In the same study, the addition of NUBEQA to docetaxel (chemotherapy) delayed pain progression^#

It took significantly longer for pain to get worse for men with mHSPC who added NUBEQA to hormone therapy + docetaxel (chemotherapy) compared with men in the placebo group.

^#Pain progression was defined as:

An increase of 2 or more points of the worst pain felt in a 24-hour period, measured twice in a row, 4 weeks apart, OR an initiation of opioids for at least 7 days in a row for patients without pain
An increase of 2 or more points, from a pain score of 4 or more, of the worst pain felt in a 24-hour period, measured twice in a row, 4 weeks apart, OR an initiation of opioids for at least 7 days in a row for patients with pain and a pain score of 1 or more

Patients who used opioids within 4 weeks were removed from the analysis, with 19% removed from the NUBEQA + docetaxel arm and 18% removed from the placebo + docetaxel arm.
