IGF‐1, IGF binding protein (BP)‐1, leptin, and adiponectin levels were measured by multiplex electrochemiluminescence assays. A multivariable Cox model assessed the association of time to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and overall survival by the protein levels, adjusted for clinical variables, age and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels at start of ADT, race, ECOG status, extent of metastases and were reported as hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI).</p> </sec> <sec id="pros22744-sec-0003" sec-type="section"> <title>RESULTS</title> <p>Median follow‐up and overall survival were 44 and 42.2 months, respectively. ECOG performance status (≥1 vs. 0) was negatively associated with overall survival [HR = 2.8 (1.1–7.0), <italic>P</italic> = 0.03], and PSA nadir <0.2 was predictive of longer time to CRPC [HR = 0.3 (0.2–0.5), <italic>P</italic> < 0.0001]. The median time to CRPC by low, middle, and top IGFBP‐1 tertile distribution was 20.7, 18.1, and 12.4 months, respectively, with HR for middle versus low tertile levels 3.1 (1.7–5), <italic>P</italic> = 0.0003, and for top versus low tertile levels was 2.4 (1.3–4.2), <italic>P</italic> = 0.003.
