July 29, 2026 updated by: AstraZeneca

VERITAS Longitudinal Real-world Registry of HR+/HER2- mBC to Understand Treatment Pattern and Clinical Outcomes in HR+/HER2- mBC

The study aims to describe demographics, clinical characteristics, genetic test diagnosis, treatment patterns, and clinical outcomes in HR+/HER2- (including HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, and HER2-null) unresectable or metastatic breast cancer patients in China; and exploratory describe clinical outcomes by treatment regimens, also report the QoL and other patient-report outcomes (PRO) and to assess healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and costs overall and by LoT.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population includes Chinese adult patients with HR+/HER2- (including HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, and HER2-null) unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who are about to initiate 2L systemic therapy or initiated 2L systemic therapy within 2 months at participating sites.

Description

Inclusion Criteria * Must be competent and able to comprehend, sign, and date an Institutional Review Board or Institutional Ethics Committee approved Informed consent form (ICF) before participating in the study. OR Eligible for exemption from informed consent (for patients who die or became lost to follow-up within 2 months of initiating 2L therapy). * Chinese men or women ≥ 18 years old at time of consent. * Pathologically documented breast cancer that: a) is unresectable or metastatic. b) is HR+/HER2- (IHC 2+/ISH- or IHC 1+ or IHC 0, with/without membrane staining) based on the most recent test result * Planning to initiate 2L treatment or initiated 2L systemic therapy within 2 months prior enrollment as per the prescription or medical records. Exclusion Criteria * Patients who plan to participate in any blinded interventional clinical trial in 2L setting.

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.
Patients with HR+/HER2- unresectable or metastatic breast cancer
The study will include adult patients with HR+/HER2- (including HER2-low, HER2-ultralow, and HER2-null) unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who plan to initiate second-line (2L) systemic therapy or initiated 2L systemic therapy within 2 months.

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
Percentage of patients receiving different regimens in each Line of treatment (LoT)
Time Frame: From baseline up to 5 years
Percentage of participants receiving each systemic regimen within a given LoT.
From baseline up to 5 years
Percentage of participants receiving different treatment sequence across LoTs
Time Frame: From baseline up to 5 years
Percentage of participants receiving different treatment sequence among those who entered the subsequent LoT.
From baseline up to 5 years
The attrition rate after each Line of Treatment (LoT)
Time Frame: From baseline up to 5 years
Among participants with a documented therapy end for a given LoT, the percentage who did not initiate the next LoT.
From baseline up to 5 years

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

Primary Completion (Estimated)

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.
