Overview
Brief Summary
This multicountry, multicenter, retrospective, non-interventional study involving patients diagnosed with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer mBC will be conducted to understand the demographic and clinico-pathological profile of the patients, diagnostic practices for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, current treatment landscape and sequencing of therapies, associated burden of toxicities with all lines of treatment (LOTs), and survival outcomes in the real-world setting.
Detailed Description
The study will involve patients diagnosed with HER2-positive unresectable or mBC since the earlier date between the date of trastuzumab emtansine (\[T-DM1\] Kadcyla) becoming available through reimbursement or patient access programme as a valid local treatment option or 01 January 2017 and who received at least 1 LOT. The data will be collected from the date of diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (index date) to the end of follow-up (ie, until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is earlier). The study will not have any study-specific patient visits or a longitudinal follow-up. All available data will be extracted from patients' medical records or obtained from patients themselves after obtaining an informed consent unless a waiver is granted by the local Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC)/Ethics Committee (EC). The informed consent may be obtained at the time of patients routine clinical care visit to the oncology centre. The data on different types of treatment received by the patients, socio-demographics, and clinico-pathological characteristics will be extracted from patients medical records up to the date informed consent was obtained. This study will be conducted in non-US and non-European countries including Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. The total number of patients in the study will be approximately a minimum of 570 and a maximum of 830 patients. The study will be implemented at approximately 50 to 100 oncology centres spanning across 6 countries in the AstraZeneca (AZ) International Region (ie, non-US, non-European countries).
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Adult female or male patients ≥18 years old or 'adults' according to the age of majority as defined by the local regulations
- •Patient or next of kin/legal representative willing and able to provide written informed consent according to the local regulations unless a waiver is granted by the local IRB/IEC/EC
- •Patients' medical records showing a diagnosis of HER2-positive unresectable or mBC (can be either de novo advanced disease, progression or recurrence of previous early-stage HER2-positive BC) since the available date of T-DM1 (Kadcyla) through reimbursement or patient access programme as a valid local treatment option or 01 January 2017, whichever is earlier and with the availability of at least 12 months of follow-up data (from the date of diagnosis of unresectable or mBC) in the medical records at the participating site, unless patient died within the first 12 months of diagnosis
- •Patients completing at least 1 LOT for HER2-positive unresectable or mBC
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with HER2-negative unresectable or mBC at index diagnosis
- •Patients with a change in HER2 status from positive to negative at the progression from early-stage to advanced-stage disease (ie, shown on a repeat biopsy at diagnosis of advanced-stage disease) will be excluded (patients who change from HER2-positive to negative on repeat biopsy during treatment for advanced-stage disease may be included)
- •Patients with concomitant cancer at the time of diagnosis of HER2-positive unresectable or mBC except for the non-metastatic non-melanoma skin cancers, or in situ, or benign neoplasms; a cancer is considered concomitant if it occurs within 5 years of HER2-positive breast cancer diagnosis
- •Patients who at the time of data collection for this study are participating or have participated in an interventional study that remains blinded
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of patients receiving each treatment regimen with or without hormonal therapy in each LOT
Time Frame: Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months]
Assessment of treatment patterns in patients diagnosed with HER2-positive unresectable or mBC. Line of treatment (LOT) is defined as one regimen, possibly a combination of several drugs, given from either the index diagnosis or disease progression until the treatment fails to control the disease, is not tolerated by the patient, the disease relapses/progresses, or death occurs.
Duration of therapy (DoT) for each regimen in each LOT
Time Frame: Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months]
Assessment of length of time from initiation of therapy to permanent discontinuation. The DoT will be calculated as the time from the date of initiation of LOT to the stop of the treatment regimen for every LOT as per dates available in the medical record.
Percentage of patients receiving local and regional treatment for metastasis
Time Frame: Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months]
Assessment of local and regional treatment for metastasis (radiotherapy and/or surgery), and bone protection therapy
Secondary Outcomes
- Real-world disease progression(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Real-world progression free survival (rwPFS)(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Demographic and clinico-pathological characteristics of patients with HER2-positive unresectable or mBC(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Real-world disease control rate(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Percentage of Proportion of patients with AESIs that led to treatment discontinuations, hospitalisatons and deaths.(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Overall survival(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
- Real-world objective response rate(Retrospective: from date of first diagnosis of unresectable or mBC (01 January 2017) to the end of follow-up (i.e., until death, the last medical record entry, or date of data extraction, whichever is the earliest) [Approximately 12 Months])
