Early prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response defined as a decline >50% from baseline at day 28 is associated with better radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival (OS).
Early PSA response (EPR) remained prognostic for OS in multivariate analyses that included validated pre-therapeutic prognostic factors for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Prognostic values of EPR for radiographic progression-free survival and OS were confirmed in an independent cohort of 95 abiraterone-treated non-trial patients.
