Abstract 1995P
Background
Contemporary, real-world data on eligible pts receiving systemic tx following progression on first-line (1L) mUC therapy are needed to inform tx algorithms and identify potential gaps in the mUC care pathway. The objective of this analysis was to determine the prevalence and predictors of 2L tx receipt in pts with mUC in Germany.
Methods
This study identified adults with incident mUC (ICD-10 C65-68 and C77-79) from Jan 2015 to Jun 2021, using data from 2 statutory health insurance claims databases (Jan 2013-Jun 2022; ≈8 million pts). Pts were observed for ≥12 mo post incident mUC diagnosis (index) or until death. Baseline (BL) characteristics were identified 24 mo before index, and multivariable logistic regression analyzed factors associated with receiving 2L tx.
Results
Of 4,290 pts with mUC who were identified, 1,779 (41.5%) received 1L tx (mean age, 69.1 y; male, 74.2%; mean Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] score, 5.6; mean follow-up [FU], 19.6 mo). Of these pts, 699 (39.3%) received 2L tx (mean age, 67.6 y; male, 75.3%; mean CCI score, 5.3; mean FU, 22.8 mo). The number of pts with incident mUC who received 2L tx increased over time (index year 2015: 78 pts [11.2%]; 2020: 132 pts [18.9%]). The most common 2L txs were immune checkpoint inhibitors (462 pts [66.1%]), followed by non–platinum-based chemotherapy (non-PBC) in 121 pts (17.3%), and PBC in 116 pts (16.6%). Younger pts and those without other primary malignancies at BL were more likely to receive 2L tx (Table).
Conclusions
A high proportion of pts (60.7%) did not receive 2L tx. Pts who received 2L tx were generally younger and healthier with slightly lower CCI scores and fewer non-UC primary malignancies. Tx rates may be underestimated due to the potential for unaccounted txs from clinical trials. Further research is needed to clarify barriers to accessing 2L tx in this patient population.
