More than 1 in 5 Medicare patients with mCRPC did not receive any life-prolonging therapy, and less than half received 2 L therapy. NHTs were the most common 1 L and 2 L therapies, with patients treated with NHT as 1 L followed by a different NHT for 2 L as the most common treatment sequence. Median survival from diagnosis for all patients was 25.6 months. These data highlight the dramatic undertreatment that occurs for mCRPC patients, particularly for therapies beyond NHTs as well as the common use of sequential NHTs in real-world data.
