Table 9. Key treatment recommendations.
| Recommendations | Agreement by panelist | |
|---|---|---|
| Combination therapy vs. ADT alone | ||
| Consensus was reached on recommending ADT intensification over ADT alone, irrespective of disease volume or whether the disease is metachronous or synchronous | Synchronous HV: 100.0% Synchronous LV: 87.0% Metachronous HV: 100.0% Metachronous LV: 95.7% |
|
| For treatment intensification, ARPI in addition to ADT is recommended by all panelists for the majority of patients with mHSPC | 100.0% | |
| Docetaxel addition | ||
| Docetaxel alone is not recommended by any panelists for addition to ADT when an ARPI is available for intensification | 100.0% | |
| Pathogenic SPOP mutation | ||
| For patients with high-volume mHSPC and a pathogenic SPOP mutation, ADT+ARPI is recommended by all panelists over docetaxel doublet or triplet therapy as the systemic therapy | 100.0% | |
| Monitoring | ||
| Consensus was reached on recommending regular imaging every 3 months, regardless of PSA levels, under the current local reimbursement guidelines that were based on clinical trials | 82.6% | |
| If there are no strict reimbursement guidelines, the recommendation changes to regular imaging every 6–12 months, regardless of PSA levels | 87.0% | |
| Oligometastatic mHSPC | ||
| ADT+ARPI is the most recommended systemic treatment option by all panelists | 100.0% | |
