Breast Cancer Real-World Insights and Decision Guidance Evaluation in Hong Kong (BRIDGE-HK)

November 2, 2026 updated by: AstraZeneca

Breast Cancer Real-World Insights and Decision Guidance Evaluation (BRIDGE-HK) An Observational, Retrospective, Real-world Study on Breast Cancer Patients in Hong Kong Using the Hospital Authority CDARS Database

Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in Hong Kong, but comprehensive real-world evidence on treatment and outcomes remains limited. This retrospective observational study will use Hong Kong Hospital Authority electronic health records, covering approximately 80% of healthcare utilisation, to evaluate around 45,000 adult women treated between 2018 and 2025. The study will describe patient characteristics, treatment patterns, treatment sequences, treatment duration, discontinuation, response, overall survival, and progression-free survival across HER2-positive, hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative, and triple-negative subtypes. It will also assess neoadjuvant therapy, pathological complete response, and disease-free survival in eligible early-stage patients.

Contacts and Locations

This section provides the contact details for those conducting the study, and information on where this study is being conducted.

Study Contact

Study Contact

The name and contact information for the person who can answer enrollment questions for a clinical study. Each location where the study is being conducted may also have a specific contact, who may be better able to answer those questions.

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

Probability Sample

Study Population

Female breast cancer patients are anticipated, determined by data availability in the Hong Kong HA database (2018-2025).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Female sex
  2. Age ≥18 years at the time of breast cancer diagnosis (index date)
  3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer (invasive or in situ) recorded in the HA database in all available records
  4. Documentation of surgery, or at least one systemic therapy (chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy) administered after the breast cancer diagnosis, as evidenced by pharmacy dispensing records or treatment administration records in the HA database between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2025
  5. Availability of at least 6 months of follow-up data in the HA database after the index date, unless death occurs within the 6-month period

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Male sex
  2. History of any other primary malignancy diagnosed prior to the index date (other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) as identified through ICD-9-CM codes 140.x-172.x, 176.x-208.x (excluding 174.x) recorded in the HA database during the 120-month baseline lookback period
  3. Patients with documented participation in an interventional clinical trial during the study period, where such information is available in the HA database, to preserve the real-world representativeness of observed treatment patterns
