In the analysis of metastasis-free survival, the hazard ratio is for metastasis or death. In the analysis of overall survival, the hazard ratio is for death. NR denotes not reached.

Death was defined as death without evidence of radiographic progression that occurred in the period from randomization to 112 days after the discontinuation of the trial regimen. Causes of death are presented in Table S2 in the Supplementary Appendix.

Scores on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy–Prostate (FACT-P) scale range from 0 to 156, with higher scores indicating more favorable health-related quality of life. Degradation in the FACT-P score was defined as a decrease of at least 10 points from baseline in the global score for each patient.
