Real-world treatment patterns and outcomes in advanced prostate cancer: A cohort study using the prostate cancer disease observation (PRECISION) data platform.

59 Background: There are several real-world data sources for prostate cancer (PC), each with its own limitations; the most notable limitation is an incomplete picture of the multidisciplinary clinical management of PC. The PRECISION data platform, the largest, most comprehensive, and continually updated real-world evidence source on patients with advanced PC to date, tries to address this limitation and shed light on PC management in both urology and oncology practices in both academic and community settings in the US. The platform includes a wide variety of PC-specific data variables among patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive PC (mHSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) treated across the US. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes among patients with mHSPC and mCRPC included in PRECISION to date. Methods: A retrospective cohort study that included patients with a diagnosis of mHSPC or mCRPC (index date) in PRECISION between 2018 and 2024 (cohorts could overlap). For each cohort, patient characteristics and treatment patterns were evaluated descriptively. Results: The PRECISION platform currently includes 72,855 and 33,538 patients with mHSPC and mCRPC, respectively. Among the mHSPC cohort, the mean ± standard deviation (SD) age was 74.5±9.4 years; 67% and 33% were treated at oncology and urology centers, respectively; 40% and 60% were from academic and community settings, respectively. The average ± SD time from mHSPC to mCRPC was 11.2±11.7 months. Overall, 77.6% of patients were treated with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), of whom 64.7% had ADT combined with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs) including abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, and apalutamide. Among the mCRPC cohort, the mean ± SD age was 74.1±9.3 years; similar treatment setting patterns as mHSPC were observed. Overall, 74.6% initiated a first-line (1L) therapy on/after mCRPC diagnosis; 52.1% had 1L ARPIs, 16.2% 1L immunotherapy, and 4.6% 1L taxane chemotherapy. In addition, 2.2% of patients received the recently US FDA-approved therapy, lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan, at some point during their mCRPC disease duration. Conclusions: This analysis provides key insights into the patients included in the PRECISION data platform. This multidisciplinary dataset provides a 70/30 split between oncology and urology centers, and a 40/60 split between academic and community settings. The observed clinical profile, treatment patterns, and outcomes comprise the most comprehensive representation of current treatment practice in the US. Future analyses of clinical outcomes with existing and novel therapies could contribute significantly to our understanding of opportunities to improve the treatment of patients with mHSPC and mCRPC in the US.

Abstract

59 Background: There are several real-world data sources for prostate cancer (PC), each with its own limitations; the most notable limitation is an incomplete picture of the multidisciplinary clinical management of PC. The PRECISION data platform, the largest, most comprehensive, and continually updated real-world evidence source on patients with advanced PC to date, tries to address this limitation and shed light on PC management in both urology and oncology practices in both academic and community settings in the US. The platform includes a wide variety of PC-specific data variables among patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive PC (mHSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) treated across the US. This study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes among patients with mHSPC and mCRPC included in PRECISION to date.
