About this study

Official title: A Cross-Sectional Patient-Reported Study To Assess The Patient Preference Of Treatment Administration Setting, Impact On Health-Related Quality Of Life, Work Productivity, Wider Societal Costs And Healthcare Utilisation For Patients With Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (GEP-NETs) Prescribed Somatuline® Autogel® In A Homecare Setting and Hospital Setting.

The aim of the study is to generate real-world evidence to describe the patient experience of administration of Somatuline® Autogel® (lanreotide) in homecare and hospital settings, and the associated impact on healthcare utilisation, societal cost, work productivity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL)

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient preferences of treatment administration setting (homecare or hospital)

    Survey responses of patient experience of injections at home and compared to responses of patient experience of injections when given in hospital

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Demographic characteristics of enrolled patients with GEP-NETs

    Age (years); Gender (male, female); Current employment status: full time, part time, unemployed, retired, student, homemaker, unpaid carer)

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Clinical characteristics of enrolled patients with GEP-NETs

    Disease duration; Duration of homecare administration of lanreotide; Duration of hospital administration of lanreotide

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Patient-reported impact on healthcare resource use

    Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Patient-reported impact on wider societal costs

    Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Patient-reported work productivity

    Assessed using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH) and bespoke questionaire

    Measured: Baseline

  6. Description of patient-reported HRQoL

    Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.)

    Measured: Baseline

  7. Description of patient experience of taking lanreotide in the hospital and homecare settings and reported benefits/limitations of each setting;

    Assessed using qualitative interviews which will be conducted over the telephone by an experienced qualitative interviewer. During the interview semi-structured interview guide will be used, based on guidance and feedback from a clinical expert (specialist nurse) and patient expert(s). The interviews will be primarily guided by the questions in the discussion guide; however, participants will be free to direct the conversation to topics they feel are relevant to their experience.

    Measured: 1 month

  8. Description of the impact of the homecare and hospital settings on HRQoL, work productivity, emotional and physical health

    Assessed using qualitative interviews which will be conducted over the telephone by an experienced qualitative interviewer. During the interview semi-structured interview guide will be used, based on guidance and feedback from a clinical expert (specialist nurse) and patient expert(s). The interviews will be primarily guided by the questions in the discussion guide; however, participants will be free to direct the conversation to topics they feel are relevant to their experience.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neuroendocrine Tumours (NET), run by Ipsen at 5 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 4 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 17 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

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?

Patient preferences of treatment administration setting (homecare or hospital) (time frame: Baseline). 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 17 Dec 2024.
