Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study was to evaluate patient characteristics, treatment patterns, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) reduction, and overall survival (OS) of prostate cancer patients treated with 177-Lutetium-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen-617 (177Lu-PSMA-617). Patient data from multiple electronic health record databases, including claims (open-source medical and pharmacy claims), consumer attributes, mortality, and laboratory data linked to claims databases was used.
The study analysis was conducted in two phases. Phase I provided an early view of patients treated with 177Lu-PSMA-617 shortly after launch. Phase II refreshed the data, added mortality and extracted additional years of historical data to allow for the identification of the initial metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) diagnosis and follow-up from that date through the start of 177Lu-PSMA-617.

Inclusion Criteria
- •Phase I inclusion criteria:
- •Patients with ≥1 claim in the open-source medical claims data with a Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code of A9607 or ≥1 claim in the open-source medical or pharmacy claims data with a National Drug Code (NDC) code for 177Lu-PSMA-617 during the patient selection window. The date of the first such claim is the index date.
- •For patients identified via NDC code, ≥1 claim with one of the following procedure codes on the same date as the 177Lu-PSMA-617 NDC claim: HCPCS - A9699, J3590; CPT 79191; or ≥1 claim with HCPCS code A9595 or A9597 occurring within 14 days before or after the index date.
- •At least 18 years of age at index date.
- •Patients with ≥2 medical claims ≥180 days prior to the index date.
- •For the treatment response analysis, the following additional criteria were applied:
- •Patients with linkage to lab data.
- •Patients with ≥1 PSA result available on or within 6 months prior to the index date. The PSA result closest to the index date was defined as the baseline PSA level.
- •Patients with ≥1 PSA result available after the index date.
- •Phase II inclusion criteria:
Exclusion Criteria
- •1\. Standard data cleaning processes were applied to remove patients with data quality issues. Specific data quality issues included missing or invalid age or sex.
Arms & Interventions
177Lu-PSMA-617 Patients Meeting Minimum Study Criteria
Phase I analysis group. Adult patients treated with 177Lu-PSMA-617 who met the minimum study criteria.
177Lu-PSMA-617 Patients with Pre- and Post-PSA Data Available
Phase I analysis group. Adult patients who met the minimum study criteria and had at least one PSA result available 28 days or more after the index date (177Lu-PSMA-617 initiation) while still on 177Lu-PSMA-617 treatment.
Patients who Received 177Lu-PSMA-617 at Anytime During the Study Period
Phase II analysis group. Adult patients with mCRPC who initiated 177Lu-PSMA-617 between 01 July 2014 and 30 September 2024 (index period).
Post-mCRPC 177Lu-PSMA-617 (≥6 Months Continuous Enrollment)
Phase II analysis group. Adult patients with continuous enrollment (CE) between the mCRPC diagnosis date and initiating 177Lu-PSMA-617 (index date), and at least 6 months of CE prior to the index date.
