简要总结

To evaluate the compliance with and perceptions of treatment, as well as health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in surgically resected melanoma patients undergoing HDI or PEG IFN therapy.

详细描述

The primary objective of this study is:

• To evaluate compliance with the administration of standard HDI versus PEG IFN for patients with melanoma in need of adjuvant therapy

The secondary objectives of this study are:

  • To compare the convenience and satisfaction with chemotherapy for patients on standard HDI versus PEG IFN using a chemotherapy convenience and satisfaction questionnaire (CCSQ) and to evaluate the treatment-related side effects that may impact the patient's HRQOL using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy of Biologic Response Modifier (FACT BRM)
  • To assess the frequency of Grade 3 and 4 toxicities, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) for patients on standard HDI versus PEG IFN
  • To examine reasons for patients' choice of treatment with HDI versus PEG IFN, for those cases in which patients are presented with a choice of either treatment option
  • To assess Health Resource Utilization on both arms of the study
