Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the proportion of carcinoid syndrome (CS) patients who are satisfied with their overall symptom control, 6 months after initiating treatment with telotristat ethyl (XERMELO).
Detailed Description
This study will evaluate patient-reported outcomes for adults initiating telotristat ethyl (XERMELO) for carcinoid syndrome diarrhea (CSD) not adequately controlled by somatostatin analogs in US clinical practice. The primary objective is satisfaction with overall CS symptom control 6 months after starting XERMELO. Secondary objectives will evaluate satisfaction with control of CSD and flushing, CS symptoms, work productivity and activity impairment, SSA use, and weight. This study will provide real-world patient-reported outcomes in CS with XERMELO treatment for at least 6 months.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Patients Who Are Satisfied With Their Overall Symptom Control
Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months
The percentage of CS patients who are satisfied with their overall symptom control, 6 months after initiating treatment with telotristat ethyl (XERMELO). Satisfaction with how Xermelo has controlled diarrhea, flushing, and overall CS symptoms was assessed at the initial 6-month follow-up. The questionnaire allowed participants to choose a response on a 5-level Likert scale ranging from "Very dissatisfied" (level 1) to "Very satisfied" (level 5). For the assessments of satisfaction with control of diarrhea and flushing, "Not applicable" (level 0) was a response option for participants who do not have the particular symptom that is being assessed.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Patients Reporting an Overall Improvement in CS Symptom Control Based on Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)(Baseline to 6 months)
- Number of Patients Reporting Reduction in Rescue SSA Use(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Reduction in the Dose of Long-acting SSA Injection(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Reduction in the Frequency of Long-acting SSA Injection(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Satisfaction of CS- Related Flushing Control(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Satisfaction of CS-related Diarrhea Control(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage Change of Patients Who Had Reduction in Work-related Absenteeism, Presenteeism, Activity Impairment, and Overall Productivity Loss From Baseline to 6 Months After Initiating Telotristat Ethyl Based on WPAI-SHP(Baseline to 6 months)
- Percentage of Patients Reporting Weight Gain(Baseline to 6 months)
