A Study of Real-World Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

July 15, 2026 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Real-World Characteristics, Treatment Patterns, and Clinical Outcomes in Contemporary Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in the PRECISION Data Platform

The aim of this study is to assess treatment patterns, clinical outcomes, and patient characteristics among adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the United States (US) real-world clinical practice. This study will be conducted using data extracted from the PRECISION (PRostatE Cancer dISease observatION) data platform.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult male patients with a confirmed mCRPC diagnosis in the US in the last 5 years who are included in the PRECISION data platform.

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosis of mCRPC between 01 January 2021 and 31 December 2025.
  • Male sex at index, where index is the date of initial mCRPC diagnosis.
  • Age 18 years at index.

Exclusion criteria:

• None

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients by Prior Therapies
Time Frame: Baseline
Baseline
Number of Patients by Number of Post-index Lines of Therapy (LOTs)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Up to approximately 5 years
Number of Patients by Type of Therapy at Each LOT
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Up to approximately 5 years
Percentage of Patients Switching From One Type of Therapy to Another at Each LOT
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Up to approximately 5 years
Time to First-line (1L) Treatment Initiation (TTTI)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Time from index date (mCRPC diagnosis) to the start of 1L treatment.
Up to approximately 5 years
Time to Next Therapy (TTNT) for Each LOT
Time Frame: Up to approximately 5 years
Time from the end of each LOT to initiation of the next LOT.
Up to approximately 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Age
Time Frame: Baseline

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
