Study design details

Main study objective

To describe first-line treatment for patients with incident mCRPC in 2012 and 2014 and then subsequent-line treatments during a 3-year follow-up.

Outcomes

mCRPC 1st-line therapy. mCRPC is defined as patients with prostate cancer and: -metastatic, based on hospitalisation for metastases, or specific treatment for metastases (e.g. radiofrequency), or metastases specific drug dispensing (e.g. denosumab) -castration-resistant, based on specific drug for prostate cancer (androgen deprivation), CRPC (estramustine), mCRPC (hormonotherapy, cabazitaxel), Overall survival: death at 3-year of follow-up. Complication: hospitalisation with main diagnosis of sepsis, cardiovascular events, adrenal insufficiency, hepatitis fulminant, acute hepatic failure, acute renal failure, rhabdomyolysis, fractures, etc.

Data analysis plan

The following analyses will be performed for each cohort using the total population and according to mCRPC first-line treatment: - Definition of mCRPC stage using preliminary EGB analyses, - A flow chart depicting the number of patients and sequences of treatment available in the database satisfying the cohort criteria and follow-up duration, - Description of baseline characteristics, comorbidities and prostate cancer history, - Description of first-line treatment for mCRPC patients in 2012 and 2014 and then subsequent-line treatments during a 3-year follow-up, - Estimation of overall survival using time to events methods, - Description of complications that could be related to mCRPC treatment, - Description of the 3-year healthcare resources use and costs.
