  • Two randomized trials have established that triplet therapy (androgen deprivation therapy, ARPI, and docetaxel) provides better survival rates compared to doublet therapy (ADT and docetaxel) for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
  • A real-world analysis involving 97 mHSPC patients from various Austrian centers was conducted, tracking treatment responses and clinical parameters, while certain guideline-based treatments were underutilized in a significant percentage of the patients.
  • Findings showed that patients who started ARPI after chemotherapy had better treatment responses, while 61.9% experienced adverse events, yet all patients had a notable decline in PSA levels, indicating treatment effectiveness.
