About this trial

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.

Secondary outcomes

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.

Time frame
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)

Time frame
every 6 months and up to 36 months
