An Observational Study Evaluating the Productivity and Health-Related Quality of Life of People With HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

March 31, 2017 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

UK HER2 Positive Breast Cancer Productivity & Utility Non-Interventional Study (PURPOSE)

The purpose of this study is to compare productivity (in terms of work or daily activity) and generic and disease-specific health-related quality of life of participants with HER2 positive early breast cancer currently receiving adjuvant treatment (with chemotherapy and/or targeted HER2 therapy), with participants who have completed adjuvant parenteral therapy, and participants with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer.

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

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants with HER2 positive early breast cancer currently receiving adjuvant treatment (with chemotherapy and/or targeted HER2 therapy), or have completed treatment and in disease-free survival, or receiving treatment for metastatic breast cancer will be observed.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with early stage or metastatic (Stage IV) HER2-positive breast cancer (confirmed by the study site physician). [HER2-positive is defined as ImmunoHistoChemistry (IHC3+) and/or in situ hybridization (ISH) ≥2.0]
  • Able to provide written, informed consent.
  • Early Stage Breast Cancer (eBC) patients must have received at least 1 cycle of adjuvant anti-cancer therapy following surgery; metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients must have received at least 1 cycle of treatment for their metastatic disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unwilling or unable to consent.
  • Unable to complete written quality of life questionnaires
  • Partcipants with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≥3

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Cohort 1
Participants with early breast cancer currently undergoing treatment (either chemotherapy and targeted HER2 therapy OR targeted HER2 therapy alone) will be observed.
Other: No Intervention
Cohort 2
Participants with early breast cancer who have completed treatment and are in disease-free survival (i.e. no longer receiving loco-regional treatment, chemotherapy or targeted HER2 therapy; participants may still be receiving hormone therapy) will be observed.
Other: No Intervention
Cohort 3
Participants receiving treatment for metastatic breast cancer will be observed.
Other: No Intervention

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
A Comparison of Productivity, Assessed by Patient-Reported Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire Score, of Participants in Cohort 1 vs Cohort 2 vs Cohort 3
Time Frame: Baseline
The WPAI is a patient-reported measure which assesses the effect of general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities. The General Health questionnaire asks participants to estimate the number of hours missed from work due to reasons related and unrelated to their health problems, as well as the total number of hours worked in the preceding 7-day period. The percentage of participants reporting that they were employed (working for pay) was assessed at baseline along with absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness), work productivity loss (overall work impairment/absenteeism plus presenteeism), and activity Impairment. The score range for the scales of the WPAI is between 0 (no effect) to 100% (max effect).
Baseline

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
A Comparison of Generic Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Assessed by EuroQoL Health Related Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Score, of Participants in Cohort 1 vs Cohort 2 vs Cohort 3
Time Frame: Baseline
EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated instrument for use as a measure of health outcomes. The EQ 5D-5L includes 2 components: the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and the visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D-5L descriptive system provides a profile of the participant's health state in 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). For each dimension, the participant is instructed to choose one of 5 levels that best describes their health on that day: "no problem" (1), "slight" (2), "moderate" (3), "severe" (4), or "unable/extreme" (5). The VAS is the participant's rating of their health on a scale of 0 "worst health you can imagine" to 100 "best health you can imagine".
Baseline
A Comparison of Disease-Specific HRQoL, Assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) Score, of Participants in Cohort 1 vs Cohort 2 vs Cohort 3
Time Frame: Baseline
FACT-B was used as the breast cancer-specific quality-of-life measure. FACT-B consists of 5 subscale scores pertaining to 4 well-being dimensions (physical, social/family, emotional, functional) and additional breast cancer concerns. A total overall score is the sum of all subscales. Response options were 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much.
