Introduction: Abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AA+P) has shown to significantly improve survival. COSMiC, a Canadian Observational Study in Metastatic Cancer of the Prostate, set out to prospectively amass real-world data on metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients managed with AA+P in Canada. Here, we report their patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Methods: After a median followup of 67.1 weeks, 254 patients were enrolled across 39 sites. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Brief Pain Inventory-Short form (BPI-SF), Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI), and Current Health Satisfaction in Prostate Cancer (CHS-PCa) were evaluated at baseline, as well as at weeks 12, 24, 48, and 72 after AA+P initiation. Descriptive analysis was used with continuous variables. Changes from baseline were summarized using mean (standard deviation [SD]). Results: At a median age of 76.6 (8.94), baseline FACT-P total score was 111.3 (19.56) with no significant change in their functional status observed from baseline over time. The median baseline MoCA score was 25.2 (4.52), yet subsequent assessments showed an absence of cognitive decline while under treatment. Similarly, no meaningful changes were detected in BPI, BFI, and CHS-PCa during the 72-week study period, thus suggesting that patients’ PROs were well-maintained throughout AA+P treatment. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response with >50% decline was 66.4%. Safety profile was consistent with the known side effect of AA+P. Conclusions: COSMiC represents the largest Canadian mCRPC cohort treated with AA+P with real-world, prospective evaluation of PROs. This data demonstrated the maintenance in quality of life and cognitive status over the course of the study and underscores the importance of PRO use in this complex patient population.

A Canadian Observational Study in Metastatic Cancer of the Prostate: A Study of ZYTIGA Use in the Community Urology Setting. The COSMiC Prospective Prostate Cancer Registry.The purpose of this non-interventional, prospective, observational study is to temporally evaluate the impact of abiraterone acetate (ZYTIGA) therapy on Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and on clinical outcomes in the chemotherapy-naive metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) population.Study participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of mCRPC according to medical history and have rising PSA levels or radiographic progression (documented by previous positive bone scan or metastatic lesions identified on CT or MRI) despite ongoing conventional ADT.Study participants will complete Quality of Life and Patient Satisfaction questionnaires longitudinally at defined time points. Safety and efficacy data, as well as levels of health care resource utilization associated with ZYTIGA therapy, will also be prospectively collected and analyzed.Once enrolled, study participants will be followed for a maximum of 72 weeks from the time of initiation of ZYTIGA treatment, or up to the time of early study withdrawal/termination.For additional information please contact Richard K.

232 Background: Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) and electronic PRO (ePRO) are increasingly becoming an important aspect of cancer clinical trials and patient care, especially with regard to measuring drug efficacy, patient quality of life and drug safety. Subject compliance with completion of PRO/ePRO assessments is an important component for obtaining accurate and high-quality data when conducting clinical trials. It has been hypothesized that patient health status, length of time in a trial and country of origin, may affect compliance. Methods: To address this hypothesis, an operational analysis was conducted to assess oncology subject completion compliance of PRO reports using an electronic tablet to determine its suitability and performance in use. Toward this objective, the compliance of prostate cancer patients in completing three electronic questionnaires that were administered at clinic visits was evaluated. Subjects were asked to complete the Brief Pain Inventory – Short Form (BPI-SF) at every clinic visit. At some clinic visits, subjects were asked to additionally complete the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – Prostate (FACT-P) and the Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D). Questionnaires were completed electronically on the tablet. Percent completion was calculated as the number of questionnaires completed divided by the number of questionnaires expected, based on attended clinic visits compiled for this review and the administration schedule for the questionnaires. Results: This review draws on the experience of over 1,000 subjects from 21 countries, and describes the individual and overall compliance with the expected questionnaire completion, the variance between subsequent visits, and compliance by country. Conclusions: The collection of ePRO using a clinic-based tablet yielded a highly complete data set in prostate cancer subjects demonstrating that this is an effective and feasible approach for recording symptoms and quality of life assessments.
