aSPARTAN patients were stratified according to PSA doubling time (> 6 months vs. ≤ 6 months), use of bone-targeting agents (yes vs. no), and classification of local or regional nodal disease (N0 vs. N1) at the time of study entry. Efficacy analyses were performed using a log-rank test

bSPARTAN patients were matched to PROSPER patients on the following variables: age, PSA and PSA doubling time at baseline, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, total Gleason score, use of bone-targeting agents, and history of surgical prostate cancer procedures at baseline

cFor this analysis, any events occurring after 112 days after treatment discontinuation were censored
