Solid TumoursNCT01209091
Utility and Work Productivity Data for Economic Evaluation of Breast Cancer Therapies in the Netherlands and Sweden
An observational study of Solid Tumours, run by GlaxoSmithKline.
Trial summary
Introduction: Many reimbursement authorities use economic evaluation to help guide decisions regarding the adoption of new treatments in reimbursement systems. Survival and quality of life are often the main measure of benefit used in an economic evaluation - expressed as a quality adjusted life year (QALY). Read more about this study

Study population: A hundred members of the general public will be recruited in the Netherlands and in Sweden to participate in time trade off (TTO) interviews. In Sweden in order to try to match the socio-demographic profile of women suffering from HER2+ MBC, recruitment will be aimed at females aged over 50. In the Netherlands participants will be from both genders, and of mixed age, ethnicity, education and employment status categories. In Sweden, interviews will be conducted in Stockholm, Tyresö and Malmo. In the Netherlands, interviews will be conducted in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Colmschate.

About this study
Introduction: Many reimbursement authorities use economic evaluation to help guide decisions regarding the adoption of new treatments in reimbursement systems. Survival and quality of life are often the main measure of benefit used in an economic evaluation - expressed as a quality adjusted life year (QALY). In addition though, some decision makers will also consider the impact of a treatment on a patient's ability to continue working (expressed in terms of productivity). The aim of the present study is to estimate quality of life weights (utilities) and productivity loss for women with metastatic breast cancer (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 positive or HER 2+).
Methods: Separate surveys will be used to assess utilities and productivity in HER2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC). To capture utilities health state descriptions or vignettes describing progressive disease, stable disease, and seven grade 3/4 adverse events (diarrhoea, fatigue, anaemia, leukopenia, anorexia, decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and skin rash) will be developed. The vignettes will be developed based on a literature review and in depth interviews with women with MBC in the Netherlands and Sweden. Clinical experts in both countries will review the health states for content validity. The health states will be translated using forward and back translation. Members of the general public will rate the states (100 men and women in NL; 100 women aged 50+ in Sweden) using the visual analogue scale and Time Trade Off method to determine utility values. In a separate survey women who are currently being treated or have recently completed their treatment for MBC will be surveyed regarding the impact of disease on their ability to work using a validated work productivity measure (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment) in women in the Netherlands and Sweden.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| No treatment | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Health utility: is a measure of strength of preference that people have for particular health states. A year in full health is arbitrarily assigned a value of 1: a state that is considered equivalent to death is assigned a value of zero
Secondary outcomes (1)
Productivity loss: productive working time lost due to health related inability to work. These include the costs of lost work due to absenteeism or early retirement, impaired productivity at work, and lost or impaired leisure activity.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Solid Tumours, run by GlaxoSmithKline.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Health utility: is a measure of strength of preference that people have for particular health states. A year in full health is arbitrarily assigned a value of 1: a state that is considered equivalent to death is assigned a value of zero. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2016.
