Epidemiology and Management of Metastatic Breast Cancer

January 29, 2014 updated by: AstraZeneca

Epidemiology and Therapeutic Management of Metastatic Breast Cancer in Romania: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This is a multicenter, national, retrospective chart-review study that will be based on the collection of data from electronical or paper-based medical records with available data on female patients diagnosed with metastatic brest cancer . The main purpose of this study is to provide accurate, evidence based description on the incidence of progression of metastatic breast cancer and its clinical management.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Female patients diagosed with metastatic breast cance, age > 18 years

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female aged 18 years and over Diagnosis of breast cancer according to ICD-10 diagnostic criteria with confirmed metastasis
  • Confirmed diagnosis between 1st July 2010 - 30th June 2011
  • Female patient managed for her disease at the same setting where final diagnosis of MBC was performed

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of concurrent or other primary malignancies (except curatively resected non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The incidence rate of progression of disease in a cohort of patients newly diagnosed with MBC, either De Novo or having progressed from a non-metastatic stage
Time Frame: At 12 and 18 months after diagnosis
At 12 and 18 months after diagnosis

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
The progression free survival (PFS) rates
Time Frame: At 12 and 18 months after diagnosis
At 12 and 18 months after diagnosis
The progression free survival (PFS) time
Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis
At 18 months after diagnosis
Time to progression (TTP)
Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis
At 18 months after diagnosis
The clinical and pathological characteristics of newly diagnosed MBC patients
Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis
At 18 months after diagnosis
The socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics of newly diagnosed MBC patients
Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis
At 18 months after diagnosis
Health care utilization associated with the disease in Romania
Time Frame: At 18 months after diagnosis
At 18 months after diagnosis

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 2013

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (ACTUAL)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
