The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer does not collect data pertaining to patient race/ethnicity.

For S9346, any grade bone pain was included; for S9916, only grades ≥ 2 were included.

N = 1,065, as prior prostatectomy status was missing for 13 patients.

§

For S9346, the landmark time was 7 months after starting androgen-deprivation therapy. For S9916, the landmark time was 3 months after starting chemotherapy.
