Brief summary

For patients receiving Faslodex 500 mg, to compare the effectiveness in terms of Time to Progression (TTP) as a function of the line of treatment (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd line). For all patients, to collect and explore real-life data on the epidemiology and management of Pseudomyxoma Peritonea (PMP) patients with HR+ advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with Faslodex 500 mg or exemestane.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of the effectiveness of Faslodex 500 mg in terms of time to progression (TTP) of disease.Period from inclusion up to 9 months (average time period )
Disease management dataPeriod from inclusion up to 9 months (average time period )The analysis will be adjusted for the main prognostic factors, such as visceral metastases, age, receptor status etc

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Real-life data on patient outcomes by line of treatment (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd line).Every 3 monthsIncluding overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS),time to progression (TTP), response rate (RR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Real-life pharmacoeconomic data and use of health care resources.Every 3 monthsAccording to lines of treatment and other patient related factors (such as age, co-morbidities etc.), including primary care visits, hospital stays and other resource
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients undergoing treatment with Faslodex 500 mg or exemestane.Every 3 monthsHealth-related quality of life will be assessed with a patient-based instrument (eg, EQ5D).
