  1. Abbreviations: AE Adverse event; ARI Androgen receptor inhibitor; CI Confidence interval
  2. aTwo patients received both apalutamide and enzalutamide. The specific AEs have been attributed to the respective therapy cohort, and therefore the Ns add to > 100%
  3. bNo patients experienced neutropenia, cerebral ischemia, heart failure, or posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome
  4. cIncluded cognitive and attention disorders, memory impairment, mental and cognitive changes, and mental impairment disorder
