Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"-To demonstrate that PSMA-flare seen 2-3weeks after initiation of ADT at baseline is more common in bony lesions than in prostatic lesions","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessed as PSMA-flare seen 2-3weeks after initiation of ADT (as stated in main objective)."}

Secondary endpoints
