Overall survival in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC): A retrospective electronic medical record analysis of men treated with sipuleucel-T in community urology over 14 years.
Abstract
e17041 Background: Treating mCRPC remains challenging, with limited options for prolonging overall survival (OS). Sipuleucel-T, an autologous prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-targeting cellular immunotherapy (therapeutic vaccine), was FDA-approved in April 2010. We examined the outcomes of treatment for mCRPC since 2010 in SoNaR for Prostate Cancer, the deidentified PPS Analytics/Specialty Networks Uro-oncology electronic medical record (EMR) database that encompasses 90 United States (US) community urology practices with over 3,200 providers. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective study analyzed OS in 2 cohorts of men aged ≥18 years who were diagnosed with mCRPC between January 1, 2010 and May 31, 2024 and treated (Cohort 1) or not treated (Cohort 2) with sipuleucel-T in community urology settings. For the preliminary covariates of race, US region, and age and Gleason group scores at diagnosis, patient characteristics were summarized descriptively, Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods and log-rank tests compared OS, and Cox proportional hazards estimated hazard ratios (HRs). Results: Of a total 11,265 men, 46.9% received sipuleucel-T (Cohort 1). Data from the the sipuleucel-T-treated cohort are described in text; all patients are described in the table. Mean age was 73.4 years, 14% were Black, and 46% were in the Southern US region (Table). At PC diagnosis, the mean Gleason score was 7.3, categorizing 53% as high-risk. At mCRPC diagnosis, the mean PSA level was 49.1 ng/mL (median 6.3 ng/mL). Median OS was 44 months (Table). Among the 4,494 patients of cohort 1 with known status, 28% were still alive 5 years after treatment; their median OS was 97 months. Conclusions: Despite their high-risk disease, patients who received sipuleucel-T had a 44-month median OS, with 28% being alive at 5 years later. This highlights the potential therapeutic benefit of integrating sipuleucel-T into real-world treatment for mCRPC. Further analysis is needed, leveraging the rich nature of this dataset.
