Model 1 evaluated the effect of any gDDRm versus wild‐type. Model 2 evaluated the effect of BRCA2 mutation versus wild‐type.

High‐volume disease was defined as the presence of visceral metastases or ≥ 4 bone lesions with at least one outside of the vertebral column and pelvis according to the CHAARTED trial.

Abbreviations: ADT, androgen deprivation therapy; CI, confidence interval; gDDRm, germline DNA repair gene mutations; PSA, prostate‐specific antigen.
