, STAMPEDE included patients with not only metastatic disease, but also locally advanced disease, high-risk non-metastatic disease, and high-risk relapse after primary treatment; , high volume per CHAARTED presence of visceral metastases and/or at least four bone lesions with at least one lesion outside of the vertebral column and/or pelvis; §, HRQoL was worse at 3 months, but better at 12 months (15); , assumes full dose of 1,000 mg branded abiraterone daily. Abiraterone in generic form has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and 250 mg with a low-fat meal has been shown to be non-inferior to full dose in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based on PSA response in a small study (16). ADT, androgen deprivation therapy; mCSPC, metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.
