Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| incidence of hepatotoxicity and QT prolongation to assess liver and cardiac tolerability profile of ketoconazole. | up to 5 years of follow up | The primary objective is to document liver and cardiac tolerability profile of ketoconazole p.o when administered as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies, in routine clinical practice, in patients with CS. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Drug utilization pattern regarding safe utilization of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on liver function | up to 5 years of follow up | Number of liver tests performed per patient Number of patients for whom LFTs were performed according to SmPC recommendations. Number of patients with reduction of ketoconazole dose following liver enzymes increase Number of patients with interruptions / definitive stop of ketoconazole following liver enzymes increase |
| Drug utilization pattern of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on liver function | up to 5 years of follow up | Timing of liver tests performed per patient according to defined windows. |
| Drug utilization pattern regarding safe use of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on liver function | up to 5 years of follow up | Percentage of patients for whom LFTs were performed according to SmPC recommendations. Percentage of patients with reduction of ketoconazole dose following liver enzymes increase Percentage of patients with interruptions / definitive stop of ketoconazole following liver enzymes increase |
| Drug utilization pattern regarding safe utilization of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on Qt interval monitoring. | up to 5 years of follow up | Number of ECGs performed per patient Number of patients for whom ECGs were performed according to SmPC recommendations |
| Number of patients with adverse events | up to 5 years of follow up | Number of adverse events with Ketoconazole in monotherapy or in combination with other therapies for Cushing Syndrome. |
| Drug utilization pattern regarding safe use of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on Qt interval monitoring. | up to 5 years of follow up | Percentage of patients for whom ECGs were performed according to SmPC recommendations |
| Effectiveness of ketoconazole | up to 5 years of follow up | clinical outcome evaluated by the physician after ketoconazole treatment: cortisol levels improvement or normalization after ketoconazole treatment clinical symptoms of Cushing Syndrome over time. Number and type of comorbidities. Number of concomitant treatments for comorbidities by drug class. |
| Impact on Quality of life, European Quality of Life questionnaire | up to 5 years of follow up | self-administered questionnaire of Health-Related Quality of Life to evaluate current health regarding mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, and the perceived health status of the patient. The answers given can be converted into utility scores anchored at 0 for death and 1 for perfect health. The questionnaire also includes a Vi-sual Analog Scale (VAS), by which respondents can reporttheir perceived health status with a grade ranging from 0(the worst possible health status) to 100 (the best possiblehealth status). |
| Impact on Quality of life, Cushing Quality of Life questionnaire | up to 5 years of follow up | items referring to problems relevant to patients with CS with five categories of response. Answers are rated on a scale of 1-5, where '1' corresponds to 'Always' or 'Very much' and '5' to 'Never' or 'Not at all'. Therefore, the lower the score, the greater the impact on Health-Related Quality of Life. |
| Drug utilization pattern of ketoconazole according to HRA SmPC recommendations on Qt interval monitoring. | up to 5 years of follow up | Timing of ECGs performed per patient according to defined windows |
