Sequencing of treatments in metastatic CRPC for patients who have completed all therapeutic interventions.

2016 
339 Background: The current treatment paradigm for metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) has rapidly changed and six therapies [abiraterone (Abi), enzalutamide (Enza), docetaxel (Doc), cabazitaxel (Cab), radium-223 (Ra-223), and sipuleucel-T (Sip-T)] have now been proven to prolong overall survival. Though sequential therapy is the norm, few studies have reported on the variety and prevalence of these agents over the course of patient's lifetime. Herein, we sought to describe the temporal frequencies of mCRPC therapies in patients who completed all of their therapies. Methods: Retrospective chart reviews were conducted on 119 patients who died from mCRPC at Tulane Cancer Center from 2008-2015 (thus completing all possible therapies). Many patients were not treated with multiple life-prolonging therapies given the timing of their death. Post-mCRPC therapies were longitudinally sequenced and a frequency table was generated for first, second, third, etc. line of therapies. Results: Median du...
