• Study description:
  Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and represents more than 57,000 new cases each year in France. Several therapeutic options are available at metastatic stage. Since 2004, docetaxel has been the first-line treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Since 2011, several drugs (cabazitaxel, abiraterone, enzalutamide) successively received European market authorisation as second-line treatment and then as a first-line treatment for the last two. Changes in therapeutic strategies have a major impact on care for mCRPC patients. The research question is to assess the therapeutic strategy changes for mCRPC between 2012 and 2014, as well as the size of the population and healthcare use over three years. Two cohorts of mCRPC patients with a first treatment for mCRPC will be identified from the French nationwide claims and hospital database, and all patients will have a 5-year database history and will be followed during three years. The index date will be the date of the mCRPC first-line treatment initiation during the inclusion period (Cohort 2012: from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012, and − Cohort 2014: from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014). The main objective is to describe first-line treatment for patients with mCRPC in 2012 and 2014 and then subsequent-line treatments during a 3-year follow-up. Secondary objectives are to estimate the number of patients treated for a mCRPC in 2012 and 2014, to describe characteristics of patients treated for a mCRPC: demographic, comorbidities, and prostate cancer history, to estimate overall survival for all patients and according to the first-line treatment, to describe the complications that could be related to mCRPC treatment, and to describe 3-year healthcare resource use and costs for all patients and according to first-line treatment.
