Brief summary
This was a multinational, non-interventional, cross-sectional survey conducted among HCPs based in the EU/EEA who prescribe Piqray. The survey assessed the knowledge of HCPs prescribing Piqray in relation to the management of hyperglycemia in patients treated with Piqray.
Interventions
oncologists/healthcare professionals (HCPs) prescribing Piqray in the EU/EEA were provided with the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia (educational material). The educational material aimed to provide oncologists/HCPs prescribing Piqray with additional measures/guidance prior to, and during treatment with Piqray for the identification and management of hyperglycemia.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| assess HCPs' knowledge and understanding of the key information included in the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia | Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year | The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint based on the percentages of HCPs with correct responses to all questions included in the composite regarding the below information: * Risk of hyperglycemia and its potential risk factors * Signs and symptoms of hyperglycemia * Recommendations for monitoring for hyperglycemia prior to, and during, treatment with Piqray * Recommendations for managing hyperglycemia during treatment with Piqray. Specifically, the primary endpoint was a weighted composite knowledge score aggregated across the following survey questions: 4A, 5A-C, 6, 8A-C, 10, and 12-15. It was calculated as the number of all correctly answered questions divided by the number of all answered questions (i.e. questions that were answered either correct and not correct - unanswered questions are excluded). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assess HCPs' reported levels of receipt, and reading, of the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia | Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessed as the percentages of HCPs who report receipt and reading of the same (survey questions 1, 2). |
| Assess HCPs' knowledge levels for each survey question regarding knowledge of, and management of, hyperglycemia | Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessed as the percentages of HCPs with correct responses to each question (individual responses to survey questions 4-15). |
| Assess the primary source from which HCPs learned about the messages included in the Piqray Prescriber's/HCP Guide for hyperglycemia | Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year | Assessed as the percentages of HCPs who report using each of the possible sources as the primary source they used (survey question 3). |
