Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the pharmacological treatment pattern among patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in China.

Detailed Description

Diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) are common subtypes of neuropathic pain. The treatment pattern, subsequent medication usage, and adherence information of medication among these patients are still not clear. There is also an unmet need for the use of relevant analgesic medications in this area. This real-world data study aims to understand patients' characteristics, clinical diagnosis and treatment patterns, medication adherence, real-world effectiveness among DPNP and CIPN patients in China and will explore the current unmet needs of DPNP and CIPN, in order to inform physicians' decision-making in clinical practice

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of participants who restarted treatment after discontinuation in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Among those who had discontinued treatment, the proportion of patients who received at least one targeted medication at the next visit will be assessed, where the treatment regimen containing the targeted medication includes the same treatment medication prior to discontinuation or a different treatment medication after treatment switch/add-on.

Duration of the current treatment in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Duration of the current treatment is defined as the time interval from the start date of a treatment to its end date. The end date of the treatment refers to its discontinuation date; for participants who did not experience a treatment discontinuation, the end date of treatment prescription is used.

Proportion of participants who discontinue/switch/add-on treatment and related medication categories in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Treatment discontinuation is defined as the time interval between two adjacent treatment regimens, or the time interval between the end of the last treatment regimen and the study end date (31st December 2022), or the time interval between the end of the last treatment regimen and the date of death is β‰₯90 days. Treatment switch is defined as the change of treatment regimen, either in monotherapy or in combination (exclude treatment add-on). Treatment add-on is defined as the addition of one or more targeted medications to an existing treatment regimen (monotherapy or combination therapy).

Proportion of participants receiving different treatment regimens (targeted medications or combinations) and related medication categories in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

The treatment regimen will be evaluated and confirmed as monotherapy or combination therapy based on prescription records at each visit. Monotherapy is defined as participants only received one targeted medication. Combination therapy is defined as participants received more than one targeted medication at the same time.

Time to treatment add-on in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Time to treatment add-on is defined as the time interval between the end date of the current treatment regimen (including days covered by take-away medications) and the start date of the add-on treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Initial daily dose in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Initial daily dose is defined as the first prescribed daily dose of the targeted medications.

Maximum daily dose in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Maximum daily dose is defined as the maximum of the daily dose.

Proportion of participants who underwent the daily dose change in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Proportion of participants who underwent the daily dose change is defined as the proportion of participants who underwent the dose changes from the initial daily dose to 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively.

Time to the maximum daily dose in participants with DPNP or CIPNFrom index date up to 31st December 2022

Time to the maximum daily dose is defined as the time interval between the daily dose to the maximum daily dose.
