A Study to Describe the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Path of Patients with NSCLC in Early Stage and Locally Advanced

Recruiting

• Conditions: NSCLC; Non-small Cell Lung Cancer; NSCLC, Stage III; NSCLC, Stage I

• Registration Number: NCT06467383
• Lead Sponsor: MSD Italia S.r.l.

Brief Summary

This is a non-interventional, retrospective observational study to improve knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatments of patients who have/had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), either early stage (stage I-II).

Detailed Description

Due to heterogeneity of patients with stage I-III Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), there is not a unique common therapeutic approach and there is no consensus about the optimal timing, sequencing and combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy across the spectrum of early stage and locally advance disease. Consequently, the choice of local treatment modality can vary across countries and centers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NSCLC treatment approaches in Real-World practice	Restrospective data capture from January 2018 to January 2021.	Percentage of patients undergoing to: 1. surgical resection of the lung cancer with curative intent; 2. definitive (chemo)radiotherapy (defined as any regimen of chemotherapy administered with concurrent radiotherapy); 3. neoadjuvant treatment (4 cycles) before surgery; 4. adjuvant treatments (4 cycles) after surgery
Healthcare resource utilization aof different therapeutic approaches	Restrospective data capture from January 2018 to January 2021.	Healthcare resources used to manage the patients will be described in terms of lab tests and/or outpatient visits and/or drug therapy and/or diagnostic tests.
Direct medical costs of different therapeutic approaches	Restrospective data capture from January 2018 to January 2021.	The cost of the therapeutic approach (cost of illness) will be estimated through an activity-based costing (ABC) technique which allows to calculate the full cost of a service by measuring the cost of each individual activity/resource related to it.
Percentage of patients discusses in multidisciplinary team	Restrospective data capture from January 2018 to January 2021	Multidisciplinary team defined as the involvement of radiotherapy unit, pneumology and/or interventional pneumology unit in patient discussion.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
NSCLC treatments timeline in Real-World practice	Restrospective data capture from January 2018 to January 2021.	Median Time from: 1. diagnosis/multidisciplinary referral to surgery or start of radioterapy; 2. surgery/completion of Radiotherapy to satrt of adjiuvant treatmen
