Based on the LATITUDE criteria, the comparison among abiraterone, enzalutamide, and apalutamide was exclusively conducted in high\u2010risk patients. Prostate\u2010specific antigen (PSA) responses such as the achievement of 95% and 99% PSA decline, overall survival (OS), cancer\u2010specific survival (CSS), time to castration\u2010resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and the incidence of adverse events (AEs) were compared. All two\u2010group comparisons relied on propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize the effect on possible confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 297 patients with high\u2010risk mHSPC treated with abiraterone, 127 with enzalutamide, and 142 with apalutamide were compared. There were no differences in time to CRPC (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.13), OS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.7), and CSS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.5) among the three ARPIs. No differences were observed in the achievement rates for 95% PSA decline at 3 months among the three ARPIs, while abiraterone was significantly better in 99% PSA decline achievement compared to apalutamide (72% vs. 57%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.003). The aforementioned oncologic outcomes were sustained even when performing PSM analyzes. Although skin rash for APA (34%) was the highest incidence of AEs, there were no differences in the rates of severe AEs across the three ARPIs. Enzalutamide resulted in the lowest treatment discontinuation rates (10%) other than disease progression compared to the other regimens.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Abiraterone, enzalutamide, and apalutamide have comparable oncologic outcomes in terms of OS, CSS, and time to CRPC in patients with high\u2010risk mHSPC.
