About this study

Official title: YERVOY Risk Minimisation Tool Evaluation Survey

To evaluate the effectiveness of the YERVOY® educational Risk Minimization (RM) tools in terms of awareness about these tools, their utilization, knowledge and comprehension of Immune Related Adverse Reaction (irAR)s, and appropriate behavior by Healthcare Professional (HCP)s and patients

Read the detailed description

A total sample size of 160 to 200 HCPs and 160 to 200 patients

Being tested

Receives: Drug: Ipilimumab

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The proportion of YERVOY HCPs that are aware of the existence of the risk communications tools and how the tools were accessed (i.e. paper or electronic versions)

    Distribution metrics and awareness of the tools from responses through the survey will be analysed and descriptive statistics will be used within the different participant groups

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Questionnaire: "Who uses the RM communication tools, how, when they are used and how often they are used"

    Web downloads metrics will be collected and the usage of tools from responses in the survey will be analysed, and descriptive statistics will be used within the participant groups

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Level of knowledge and comprehension of the key elements of important identified risks associated with YERVOY treatment based on the scores obtained from the Questionnaire Surveys

    Knowledge and comprehension in HCPs and patients, the knowledge surveys will provide the following data

    1. Total number of responses to the question including the proportions of correct answers to questions where appropriate
    2. Number or frequency and proportion of response options selected
    3. Percentage of responses/total responses per option
    4. Mean value and standard deviation (for appropriate questions)

    From the obtained data, Acceptable levels of correct responses will be determined, post data analysis, reporting and discussion with EMA, to set baseline levels for potential future evaluations and then the scores will be assessed

    Measured: 6 months

  4. HCP and patient behaviours via behavioural questions and scenarios based on the scores obtained from the Questionnaire Surveys

    For determining appropriate behaviours in HCPs and patients, ideal expected behaviours will be mapped to the ideal care pathway from the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as described in the RMP. The metrics will show:

    1. Total of number of participants answering the question.
    2. Proportions of participants providing correct answers (to identify knowledge and comprehension)
    3. Proportion of participants showing expected (ideal) behaviour - i.e. correct answers to individual questions.
    4. Proportion of participants showing non-ideal behaviour - i.e. partially correct or incorrect answers to individual questions.

    Analysis will examine knowledge, comprehension and behaviours for different participant types (HCP, Hospital type and Country)

    Measured: 6 months
