Recently, mutations in speckle-type pox virus and zinc finger protein (SPOP) gene (mutant SPOP [ mtSPOP ]) have been associated with improved outcomes to abiraterone in the castration-resistant setting. We hypothesized that mtSPOP would be associated with improved outcomes to systemic therapy in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (d-mCSPC). Retrospective data of newly diagnosed d-mCSPC patients were collected from four institutions. Eligibility criteria included standard androgen deprivation therapy without intensification, and SPOP mutational status (mtSPOP or wild-type SPOP [ wtSPOP ]) determination by targeted next-generation sequencing from tumor biopsies. A total of 121 men (25 mtSPOP [21%] and 96 wtSPOP [79%]) were included. After adjusting for covariates, mtSPOP was significantly associated with better median progression-free survival (35 vs 13 mo; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.47; p = 0.016) and overall survival (97 vs 69 mo; adjusted HR 0.32; p = 0.027), with similar HR and p value on the univariate analysis. These findings, upon external validation, may assist with counseling and prognostication in the clinic, and inform the design of future clinical trials in this setting. : Presence of tumor mutation in speckle-type pox virus and zinc finger protein (SPOP) gene was associated with improved survival outcomes in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer receiving standard androgen deprivation therapy. Presence of tumor mutation in speckle-type pox virus and zinc finger protein (SPOP) gene was associated with improved survival outcomes in men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer receiving standard androgen deprivation therapy.
