Clinical characteristics of enrolled patients with GEP-NETsBaseline

Disease duration; Duration of homecare administration of lanreotide; Duration of hospital administration of lanreotide

Patient-reported impact on healthcare resource useBaseline

Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.

Patient-reported impact on wider societal costsBaseline

Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.

Patient-reported work productivityBaseline

Assessed using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH) and bespoke questionaire

Description of patient-reported HRQoLBaseline

Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.)
