Real-world Evidence Prospective Study on the Effect of Nab-paclitaxel Treatment on the Clinical Outcomes and HRQoL in Patients With MBC in Greece
- Conditions
- Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02626013
- Lead Sponsor
- Genesis Pharma S.A.
- Brief Summary
This non-interventional study aims at assessing the impact of nab-paclitaxel on the clinical outcomes and the health-related QoL (HRQoL) of this heavily burdened and difficult-to-treat population. Notably, the data generated in the context of this study will serve as complementary evidence to that of the tightly and strictly controlled pre-registration clinical trial setting, which is of essential importance especially in patient populations with diseases of complex and heterogeneous biology, such as breast cancer.

Patients eligible for inclusion in this study have to meet all of the following criteria:
- Adult patients (18 years and older);
- Patients with a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of MBC who have failed first-line treatment for metastatic disease and for whom standard, anthracycline containing therapy is not indicated;
- Patients for whom the decision to prescribe therapy with nab-paclitaxel according to the locally approved product's summary of product characteristics (SmPC) has already been taken prior to their enrolment in the study; the assignment of the patient to this therapeutic strategy is not decided in advance by the study protocol but falls within current practice and the prescription of nab-paclitaxel is clearly separated from the physician's decision to include the patient in the current study;
- Patients must be able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the requirements of this study protocol;
- Patients must have signed an informed consent document;
- Patients must be able to read, understand and complete the study specific questionnaire
A patient who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
- Patients who have initiated treatment with nab-paclitaxel more than 7 days prior to their enrolment into the study;
- Patients that meet any of the contraindications to the administration of the study drug according to the approved SmPC;

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of the best objective response to nab-paclitaxel treatment in eligible MBC patients as measured from the start of therapy until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or termination of study participation as measured by routine assessments from the start of nab-paclitaxel therapy (at least 6 months post-treatment onset and up to 12 months) until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or study participation termination The proportion of objective responders \[patients with either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) as the best objective response\] as measured by routine assessments from the start of nab-paclitaxel therapy until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or study participation termination whichever occurs sooner
