Key clinical point: A significant improvement in overall survival is seen in chemotherapy-naïve Black vs White patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who received abiraterone or enzalutamide.
Major finding: The median follow-up was 19.0 and 18.7 months in Black and White patients, respectively. The overall survival was significantly longer in Black vs White patients (hazard ratio, 0.67; P <.0001).
Study details: A retrospective study of 2,910 patients with mCRPC from the Veterans Health Administration database who received enzalutamide or abiraterone after castration between April 2014 and March 2017.
Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Pfizer Inc. and Astellas Pharma, Inc. The authors received grants, personal/consulting fees, and nonfinancial support outside this work. Some authors were being employed and/or held stocks in various pharmaceutical companies.
