N2 - Although both docetaxel and androgen-receptor-axis-targeted (ARAT) agents have yielded survival improvements in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) compared to ADT alone in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) patients, the optimal therapeutic choice remains to be established. We analyzed estimates of the hazard ratios for death (OS-HRs) in patients treated in the first-line setting enrolled in the GETUG-AFU15, CHAARTED, STAMPEDE, LATITUDE, ENZAMET, and TITAN trials. Overall, men with mCSPC receiving ADT with vs. without either an ARAT agent or docetaxel as first-line systemic therapy showed a pooled OS-HR of 0.69 (95 % CI: 0.61-0.78), with significant heterogeneity (p = 0.045, I2 = 52.5 %). Network meta-analysis showed an OS-HR in patients receiving an ARAT agent vs. docetaxel of 0.78 (95 %CI: 0.67-0.91). In conclusion, the evidence analysed indicates that an ARAT agent may provide improved OS outcomes compared to docetaxel. Prospective randomized trials are warranted.
