1: The table includes all included participants in which NGS results were generated independent of tumour content, this includes three patients in the GMT group and thirteen in the non-GMT group without a valid NGS. The five patients where NGS analysis was not possible are included in the non-GMT group, since no GMT advice could have been given.

2: Volume status for M1b and M1c assessed according to CHAARTED criteria: ≥ 4 bone metastasis, including ≥ 1 outside vertebral column or pelvis and/or visceral metastasis [51].

3: According to the Dutch Consensus criteria [52].

ADT: androgen deprivation treatment; GMT: genetically matched treatment; iPSA: initial PSA at diagnosis; mo.: months; ARSI: androgen receptor signalling inhibitor, i.e., abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide; other CRPC treatment: either radium-223, combination therapy or therapy within clinical trials; PGG: prognostic grade group; yr.: years.

Percentages below 10% are specified with one decimal place.
