Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have received Pluvicto in real-world settings (pre- or post-taxane) and have sufficient prior data available.

Probably not a fit

Patients without documented Pluvicto treatment or without adequate prior data may not contribute to the effectiveness assessment.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes real-world data to describe treatment effectiveness of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, in both pre- and post-taxane settings. It uses routine clinical and claims data from the United States and Germany to capture outcomes such as survival and other effectiveness measures. No interventional procedures are performed within the study framework; data are extracted from existing records. Eligible participants are adults with a confirmed metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis who received Pluvicto after mCRPC, with at least 12 months of prior data available for context. The study is sponsored by Novartis Pharmaceuticals and conducted at sites associated with the sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Findings could clarify how Pluvicto performs in routine clinical practice and inform patient selection and care decisions.

How similar studies have gone: Real-world investigations of Pluvicto in mCRPC have shown informative survival and treatment patterns, supporting the relevance of this observational approach.

Inclusion criteria:

1. Patients with at least one inpatient OR two outpatient primary prostate cancer (PC) diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification \[ICD-10-CM\]: C61) during the identification period. For outpatient diagnoses, the second confirmatory PC diagnosis must be at least 30 to 365 days after the first primary diagnosis date.
2. Patients with a metastatic diagnosis (ICD-10-CM: C77-C79) on or after the primary PC diagnosis date. The earliest metastatic diagnosis will be the patient's metastatic diagnosis date.
3. Patients with an mCRPC diagnosis on or after the metastatic diagnosis or satisfying any of the proxy criteria.
4. Patients with evidence of treatment with \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 after the mCRPC diagnosis date. The date of \[177Lu\]Lu-PSMA-617 administration will be considered as the index date.
5. Patients ≥18 years of age on metastatic diagnosis date.
6. Patients who are male.
7. Patients with at least 12 months pre-index and at least six months post-index (unless patient died) of medical history or continuous medical and pharmacy enrollment or activity (three-month allowable gap).

Exclusion criteria:

1. Patients with other non-prostate primary cancer (≥ two ICD codes for one specific type of cancer in the baseline period at least 30 days apart) within three years prior to the first PC diagnosis.
2. Patients enrolled in a current clinical trial/investigational study within the 30-day period immediately prior to and including the index date or within five half-lives of the investigational product (whichever is longer) or during post-index period (ICD-10-CM: Z00.6).
3. Patients with missing age and gender information.
