The CCP test is a validated molecular assay that assesses prostate cancer-specific disease progression and mortality risk when combined with clinicopathologic parameters.
The results from PROCEDE-1000, a large, prospective registry designed to evaluate the impact of the CCP test regarding shared treatment decision making for newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients, are presented here.
Materials and Methods: Untreated patients with newly diagnosed prostate adenocarcinoma were enrolled and the CCP test was performed on the initial prostate biopsy tissue. A set of four sequential surveys tracked changes relative to initial therapy recommendations (pre-CCP) based on clinopathologic parameters following: physician review of the CCP test result, physician/patient review of the CCP test results, and a minimum of three-months of clinical follow-up (actual treatment).
Results: 1206/1596 patients enrolled in this registry were eligible for analysis. There was a significant reduction in the treatment burden recorded at each successive evaluation (P<0.0001), with mean number of treatments per patient decreasing from 1.72 pre-CCP test to 1.16 in actual follow-up. The CCP test caused a change in actual treatment in 47.8% of patients. Of these changes, 72.1% were reductions and 26.9% were increases in treatment. For each clinical risk category, there was a significant change in treatment modality (intervention vs. non-intervention) pre-CCP to post-CCP testing (P=0.0002).
Conclusions: The CCP test has a significant impact in assisting physicians and patients reach personalized treatment decisions.
