Population studied

Short description of the study population

Prostate cancer patients with bone metastases (mPC) and among a subgroup of Mpc patients among whom the prostate cancer was castration-resistant (mCRPC).
Patients with valid information on sex, age and the region of residence, a period of at least 12 months of continuous insurance preceding cohort entry, diagnosis of PC (ICD-10 Code C61) in the study period (January 1, 2004 – December 31, 2011), diagnosis of bone metastases (ICD-10 Code C79.5) in the enrolment period (January 1, 2005 – December 31, 2011) were included in the mPC cohort.
Members of the mCRPC cohort should have one of the following in the enrolment period and before or at the same time with bone metastases
a. Discontinuation of the initial chemical castration, change of the agent or modality of the ADT, or start of treatment for advanced PC after the primary ADT
b. Surgical castration and initiation of ADT treatment
c. Treatment with medication specific to mCRPC or hormone-refractory PC. These are cabazitaxel, enzalutamide, abiraterone, estramustine, docetaxel, mitoxantrone, as well as sipuleucel-T, which are indicated for advanced hormone-refractory PC in Germany

Study design details

Main study objective

Incidence of second primary malignancies in patients with castration resistent prostate cancer.

Outcomes

Incidences of Second primary malignancies are characterized by the following ICD-10 codes: C00-C76, C81-C96, D00-D09, D37-D48. - Up to 10 years, Overall survival - Up to 10 years

Data analysis plan

The incidence of second primary malignancies will be calculated. Overall survival will be described. Details on analysis will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).
