This prospective, non-interventional time and motion study will evaluate the costs of healthcare resource utilization associated with the administration of trastuzumab (Herceptin) SC and IV formulations in HER2-positive EBC. This is a sub-study of the clinical study MO22982 (NCT01401166/PrefHer).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TrastuzumabDrug

    Also called Herceptin

    Trastuzumab will be given on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for a total of 18 cycles. Dosage will be according to the local labeling: 600 milligrams (mg) SC or 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) via IV infusion. For those assigned to the IV arm or if IV treatment is delayed >1 week, an initial loading/reloading dose of 8 mg/kg will be given instead. Due to the observational nature of this study, trastuzumab is not an investigational product but will be supplied in the MO22982 trial. Each route/device (SC single-use injection device, SC vial/syringe, IV infusion) will be observed in at least 12 episodes of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Monetary Cost of Health Care Resources Used Per Episode of Care in Administration of Trastuzumab Single-Use Injection Device

    The study observed 36 episodes of care (12 per study arm) to collect data on infusion/injection-related tasks. HCP time was estimated using hourly salary data from National Health Service (NHS) reference costs. Consumable supplies were costed using hospital pharmacy data and online sources. Analysis was limited to only those items with an individual cost of £0.05 or more. Monetary cost of health care resources was determined by adding the costs of consumable supplies and HCP time spent in the administration of trastuzumab single-use injection device during a single episode of care. The average monetary cost per episode was calculated and expressed in pounds.

    Measured: Data collection up to 1 year

  2. Monetary Cost of Health Care Resources Used Per Episode of Care in Administration of Trastuzumab SC Injection

    The study observed 36 episodes of care (12 per study arm) to collect data on infusion/injection-related tasks. HCP time was estimated using hourly salary data from NHS reference costs. Consumable supplies were costed using hospital pharmacy data and online sources. Analysis was limited to only those items with an individual cost of £0.05 or more. Monetary cost of health care resources was determined by adding the costs of consumable supplies and HCP time spent in the administration of trastuzumab SC injection during a single episode of care. The average monetary cost per episode was calculated and expressed in pounds.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 4 sites in United Kingdom.

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 2 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 29 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Mar 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Monetary Cost of Health Care Resources Used Per Episode of Care in Administration of Trastuzumab Single-Use Injection Device (time frame: Data collection up to 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Apr 2016.
