About this study

This real-life Health Economics and Outcome Research (HEOR) study will enable to assess the impact of current therapies on quality of life (QoL), productivity loss and health care resource utilization in metastatic breast cancer (mBC). This prospective study will estimate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and resource utilization data for mBC patients stratified according to treatment type, treatment line and disease status (progression vs. progression free) in a real-life setting.

To estimate QoL, work productivity and health care resource utilization of post-menopausal patients with ER+/HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer in a real-life setting. The secondary objective is to estimate QoL and work productivity of mBC patients' caregivers.

During the course of the study, data will be collected on quality of life and work productivity. Patients and caregivers will be asked to fill a set of questionnaires at their recruitment in the study, at 3 months and at 6 months after recruitment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pharmacoeconomic impact of current therapies for the treatment of mBC in a real-life setting.

    Pharmacoeconomic impact will be evaluated by questionnaires completed by the patient and the caregiver. These include quality of life, health care resource utilization, work productivity and activity impairment, and health questionnaires. Data will be summarized by time points (recruitment, 3 months and 6 months) and categorized by the line of treatment (first line, second and subsequent line), by disease status (progression and progression free), by treatment type (chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and if sample size permits by type of endocrine therapy such as anti-estrogen and aromatase inhibitors), and by specific treatment (such as letrozole and anastrozole), if sample size permits.

    Measured: 6-month follow-up after recruitment
