About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Skin Health and Quality of Life in Patients Receiving Anticancer Therapies Based on Monoclonal Antibody Anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or Cyclin-dependent Kinase (CDK) Inhibitors

The study aim to investigate the relationship between cutaneous adverse events and quality of life in patients taking immune check point inhibitor or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 and 6 inhibitors by two steps. In the first one, it will be investigated the relationship between the skin toxicity related to the use selected therapies and the quality of life of patients already receiving these therapies for treatment of their cancer. In the second one, it will be evaluated the relationship between skin toxicity and quality of life over three months of treatment in patients initially naïve for selected therapies. Cancer included in the analysis are NSCLC, renal cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Being tested
EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General), FACT-EGFRI-18 (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Epidermal Growth Factor Inhibitors 18 Item)

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of life in patients undergoing anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors evaluated by EQ-5D-5L questionnaire.

    To evaluate the correlation between skin toxicity and quality of life over three months of treatment in patients initially naïve for monoclonal antibody anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors.

    Skin toxicity will be evaluated by the physician and graded based ob CTCAE v 5.0.

    The EQ-5D-5L essentially consists of 2 pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS).

    The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems.

    The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can image' and 'The worst health you can image'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflects the patient's own judgement.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Quality of life during therapy with anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors by FACT-G scale

    To evaluate the correlation between skin toxicity and quality of life over three months of treatment in patients initially naïve for monoclonal antibody anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors.

    Skin toxicity will be evaluated by the physician and graded based ob CTCAE v 5.0.

    The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) is a 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of HRQOL in cancer patients: Physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being. For all FACIT measures, higher scores are better than lower scores.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Quality of life during therapy with anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors by FACT-EGFRI-18 scale. For all FACIT measures, higher scores are better than lower scores.

    To evaluate the correlation between skin toxicity and quality of life over three months of treatment in patients initially naïve for monoclonal antibody anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors.

    Skin toxicity will be evaluated by the physician and graded based ob CTCAE v 5.0.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Role of gender

    To describe differences in quality of life based on gender. The incidence and grade of skin toxicity based ob CTCAE v 5.0, will be estimated based on sex. Similarly the correlation of skin toxicity with quality of life evaluated by EQ-5D-5L, FACT-G, FACT-EGFRI-18 measures will be estimated by sex.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Role of therapy

    To describe differences in quality of life based on type of therapy received (Immunotherapy vs CDK inhibitors).

    The incidence and grade of skin toxicity based ob CTCAE v 5.0, will be estimated based on type of therapy. Similarly the correlation of skin toxicity with quality of life evaluated by EQ-5D-5L, FACT-G, FACT-EGFRI-18 measures will be estimated by type of therapy.

    Measured: 18 months

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of life in patients undergoing anti-PD1/PDL1/CTLA4 or cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors evaluated by EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 3 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?
