Community oncology treatment patterns and clinical effectiveness in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients who progressed after docetaxel.

2013 
118 Background: Cabazitaxel (C) and abiraterone (A) improve survival in mCRPC after progression on docetaxel (D). We examined whether mCRPC patients progressing on D received C and/or A, in which sequence, and how they compared with patients not receiving C or A. Methods: This retrospective study used medical records from the ACORN Data Warehouse. Eligible patients were: diagnosed with mCRPC, progressed after 1st-line D, treated 2nd-line with C (DC) or A (DA). Some went to 3rd-line C or A (DCA, DAC). A random sample of comparable patients without A or C (DO) was included. Demographic and clinical characteristics were extracted. Cox regression analyses assessed PFS and OS by 2nd-line group after D. Results: Screened out patients were: 60 with no progression on D; 41 absent records; 18 with another cancer. Table below shows patients by treatment sequence group. Age, PS, and PSA did not differ significantly. More patients appear to have received A after C (56.7%) than C after A (25.7%). In the 3-drug sequenc...
