Real-World Treatment With Abiraterone Acetate In Patients With Chemotherapy-Naive Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (Mcrpc)

239Background: In the COU-AA-302 trial, abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) resulted in extension of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival in chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients compared to prednisone alone. However, limited data on AAP treatment and outcomes is available in the real-world in this setting. The aim of this study is to describe the duration of AAP treatment in routine clinical practice in mCRPC patients prior to chemotherapy. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective chart review of mCRPC patients identified through oncology and urology practice in Belgium, France, Germany and the UK. This first analysis reports baseline patient characteristics at AAP initiation for the first 224 patients. Treatment duration, PFS and rPFS were estimated using Kaplan-Meier curves. Potential factors associated with treatment duration were explored using the log-rank test. Results: Data from 224 mCRPC patients treated with AAP (Belgium: 67; Germany: 150; UK: 7; none fr...
