A note of caution
‡ Key eligibility criteria in STAMPEDE unchanged in 15 years ‡ Subtle shifts over time in patients joining any trial ‡ Some shifts in standard practice and management,
especially relating to second-line care

A note of caution
‡ Key eligibility criteria in STAMPEDE unchanged in 15 years ‡ Subtle shifts over time in patients joining any trial ‡ Some shifts in standard practice and management,
especially relating to second-line care KEY MESSAGE: If must be careful within 1 consistent protocol, must be really careful trying to understand differences across protocols!

CONCLUSIONS Increasing number of positive trials in mHSPC Very little direct head-to-head data comparing new treatments Be cautious in comparing results from papers Consider: characteristics of trials and patients all outcome measures, including efficacy and safety available and cost of treatments Help each other with: consistent outcome measures and assessments clear presentations of results
