An Observational Time and Motion Study of Trastuzumab Subcutaneous (SC) and Intravenous (IV) Formulations in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Early Breast Cancer (EBC)

March 28, 2016 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

Time and Motion Study of Trastuzumab Subcutaneous (SC) and Intravenous (IV) Formulations for the Treatment of Patients With HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer (EBC)

This prospective, non-interventional time and motion study will evaluate the costs of healthcare resource utilization associated with the administration of trastuzumab (Herceptin) SC and IV formulations in HER2-positive EBC. This is a sub-study of the clinical study MO22982 (NCT01401166/PrefHer).

Trastuzumab IV Infusion
Participants with HER2-positive EBC will be evaluated for the costs and other factors associated with health care utilization with the administration of trastuzumab via IV infusion.
Drug: Trastuzumab
Trastuzumab will be given on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for a total of 18 cycles. Dosage will be according to the local labeling: 600 milligrams (mg) SC or 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) via IV infusion. For those assigned to the IV arm or if IV treatment is delayed >1 week, an initial loading/reloading dose of 8 mg/kg will be given instead. Due to the observational nature of this study, trastuzumab is not an investigational product but will be supplied in the MO22982 trial. Each route/device (SC single-use injection device, SC vial/syringe, IV infusion) will be observed in at least 12 episodes of care.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Monetary Cost of Health Care Resources Used Per Episode of Care in Administration of Trastuzumab Single-Use Injection Device
Time Frame: Data collection up to 1 year
The study observed 36 episodes of care (12 per study arm) to collect data on infusion/injection-related tasks. HCP time was estimated using hourly salary data from National Health Service (NHS) reference costs. Consumable supplies were costed using hospital pharmacy data and online sources. Analysis was limited to only those items with an individual cost of £0.05 or more. Monetary cost of health care resources was determined by adding the costs of consumable supplies and HCP time spent in the administration of trastuzumab single-use injection device during a single episode of care. The average monetary cost per episode was calculated and expressed in pounds.
