CI, confidence interval; ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; HR, hazard ratio; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase; PSA, prostate-specific antigen; SE, standard error; ULN, upper limit of normal.

a

Since baseline PSA was skewed, log-transformation was used in the multivariate model.

b

Survival for patients who had not died by the time of analysis was censored at the date the patient was last known to be alive.

c

Progression for patients who had not yet progressed by the time of analysis was censored at the date of the last radiographic assessment.

d

Serum albumin, PSA, and hemoglobin use was continuous.
