About this study

Official title: Non-interventional and Longitudinal Study to Evaluate a List of Anticancer Drugs Under Real Conditions of Use and Measure the Quality of Life of Patients Treated at Rafaël Institute

Currently, aspects related to the effects of anticancer treatments and the quality of life of patients and their needs are still poorly documented at the Rafael Institute. Thus this study will meet a dual objective: (1) the establishment of a registry to collect data on the safety and effectiveness of innovative and expensive anticancer drugs when administered in real life and (2) a measurement quantitative quality of life of patients treated with these drugs.

Read the detailed description

In France, the promotion of more patient-centered medicine is among the priorities identified by the High Authority for Health in its 2024 strategic project. The patient-centered approach is based on a partnership relationship with the patient, their loved ones, and the healthcare professional or a multi-professional team to built together the best option of care.

In this approach, the Rafael Institute was created with the objective of caring for people and not simply pathologies. Initiated around the problem of cancer and the harmful effects of its treatments, the Rafaël Institute offers personalisation of care and continuity of care over time by providing monitoring and support to the patient by a multi-professional and multidisciplinary team. Thus, maintaining quality of life constitutes one of the objectives of the therapeutic management of patients with cancer.

Although modern oncological treatments have today enabled real advances on the biomedical level, they often have side effects that must be taken into account for the overall assessment and management of patients. Although most anticancer therapies have a negative impact on the patient's quality of life, this does not always reflect the occurrence of toxicity.

Since the 1990s, quality of life has been strongly associated with survival. Patients with high overall quality of life live significantly longer than patients with low overall quality of life.

The relationship between symptoms, their intensity and quality of life is essential to study to understand the perceived impact of treatments and optimize their use in daily practice.

The effects of treatment and quality of life can be assessed precisely and reliably using standardized and validated self-questionnaires. Completed by patients, they make it possible to measure the qualitative aspects directly linked to their health and to take into account their subjective perception of their state of health.

What is being measured

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

  1. overall survival

    OS is defined as the time from the starting date of study drug to the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Until death, assessed up to 36 months

  2. progression free survival

    PFS is defined as the time from the starting date of study drug to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Until progression or death, assessed up to 36 months

  3. incidence of adverse events

    graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Measured: up to 36 months

  4. incidence of serious adverse events

    graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Measured: up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change from Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Score

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. Individual responses for each of 28 items are given on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much), with a lower score indicating a better outcome, and responses for each of 2 items (overall health and overall quality of life) are given on a 7-point scale (1=Very poor to 7=Excellent), with a higher score indicating a better outcome.

    Measured: every 6 months and up to 36 months

  2. change from baseline in quality of life measured with the EQ5D5L questionnaire

    The questionnaire covers five dimensions of health: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. The levels of severity for each dimension ranges from no problems (1) to extreme problems/unable to perform. The raw scores are also converted to an EQ-5D index value using a scoring algorithm (British tariff) ranging from -0.594 (worst perceived health state) to 1.00 (best perceived health state)

    Measured: every 6 months and up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oncology and Quality of Life, run by Institut Rafael at 1 site in France.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Alain TOLEDANO, MD (+ 33 (0)1 84 00 70 07, alain.toledano@horg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: Until death, assessed up to 36 months). The study lists 4 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 1 Oct 2024.
