Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the medico-economic impact of adherence to INCa (National Cancer Institute) guidelines in ovarian cancer surgery by assessment of outcome in cost per Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY).

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, comparative and non-randomized study designed to investigate the medico-economic impact of adherence to INCa guidelines in ovarian cancer surgery by assessment of outcome in cost per Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY).

A cost-utility study will be performed. It will primarily aim to assess the Incremental Cost-Utility Ratio (ICUR) at 3 years of the two treatment strategies of ovarian cancer surgery: adherence to INCa quality indicators versus non-adherence to INCa quality indicators.

Consecutive patients with stage IIIC and IV ovarian, tubal, and primary peritoneal malignancies will be recruited in different health care institutions, including comprehensive cancer centers, university hospitals and private hospitals.

Evaluation of adherence to quality indicators will be assessed retrospectively (once patients have completed the treatment) by two independent experts.

200 patients will be included over a period of 2 years and will be followed for a 3 years period after treatment (every 4 months the first two years and then every 6 months).

Interventions

  • OtherCollection of additional data with questionnaires

    * questionnaires for quality of life measurements: QLQC30; QLQ-OV28 * questionnaires for medico-economic purposes: ADL (activities of daily living); IADL (instrumental activities of daily living); EQ-5D3L; absenteeism questionnaire. These questionnaires will be completed during the study time (5 or 6 times during the treatment, next every 4 months during the first two years and then every 6 months during the third year of follow-up).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Cost-utility study

    The primary endpoint is defined as cost per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) at 3 years. Patient utilities will be obtained from the EuroQoL 5D-3L questionnaire.

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of institutions adherent to INCa quality indicators

    The rate of institutions adherent to INCa quality indicators corresponds to the number of institutions adherent to INCa quality indicators among the total number of institutions.

    Time frame: 2 years and 6 months

  2. Rate of patients "adherent" to INCa quality indicators

    The rate of patients "adherent" to INCa quality indicators corresponds to the number of patients adherent to INCa quality indicators among the total number of patients.

    Time frame: 2 years and 6 months

  3. Quality of life

    The quality of life will be evaluated according to the QLQ-C30, QLQ-0V28 and the EQ-5D-3L questionnaires

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months

  4. Budgetary impact on the health insurance budget of these INCa quality indicators on the care management of ovarian cancer patients

    Budgetary impact on the health insurance budget of these INCa quality indicators on the care management of ovarian cancer patients using costs data collected from the French insurance databases, Medical Information Departments of each participating centers and from patients' questionnaires (treatment costs, other induced costs and avoided costs).

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months

  5. Progression Free Survival

    Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from inclusion until progression or death from any cause

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months

  6. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from inclusion until death from any cause or last follow-up news (censored data).

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months

  7. Morbidity

    Morbidity will be assessed through recording of adverse events using NCI-CTCAE toxicity classification and vital signs measurement.

    Time frame: 5 years and 6 months
