Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of abiraterone in patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. We retrospectively analyzed 51 patients with mCRPC treated with abiraterone acetate from January 2014 to August 2018. Clinicopathological information, treatment modalities, treatment responses, and survival times were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 51 patients who received abiraterone 1000mg/day + prednisone 10mg/day between January 2014 and August 2018 were included in the study. Of these patients, 33 (64.7%) had post-chemotherapy (CT) and 18 (35.3%) had CT-naive abiraterone receipt. Median overall survival (OS) was 17.3 months (range 9.3-33.1). Median OS was found to be 12.7 months (range 9.4-18.3) and 29.4 months (range 9.3-33.0) in the CT-naive and post-CT group, respectively (P=.236). Median radiographic PFS (rPFS) was 10.1 months (range 4.5-18.4). In the CT-naive group, rPFS was 10.1 months (IQR 6.0-14.7) and in the post-CT group, it was 9.7 months (range 4.0-18.4) (P=.808). PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS) was 9.1 months (range 4.6-13.1). In the CT-naive group, PSA-PFS was 7.4 months (range 4.6-13.4) and in post-CT, it was 9.1 months (range 4.8-13.1) (P=.843). These results show that abiraterone acetate is an effective and reliable agent in real-life data.
