Study summary

The overall aim of this project is to help improve the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. There is currently an urgent and unmet need for specific tools to aid in the evaluation of HRQOL in MBC and this project aims to address these needs by developing a comprehensive EORTC questionnaire for assessing the HRQOL of this group. The new module will be used in conjunction with EORTC QLQ-C30 and will provide better measurement of the quality of life issues experienced by women with MBC. Interviews will be conducted with patients from several centres across Europe, guiding the development process in a patient centred way.

Study population

Adult females with Metastatic breast cancer

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adult females aged 18 years or over.
  • Have a diagnosis of MBC (Breast cancer that has spread to another part of the body), including de novo MBC patients. Patients with will be included, providing there is no associated major cognitive impairment.
  • Have received (patients under observation) or currently receiving treatment for MBC, including chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted agents (anti-, CDK4/6 inhibitors, mTOR/PIK3CA inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, immune therapy), radiotherapy and combinations.
  • Conversant in the language of questionnaire administration.
  • Have the capacity to give .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer.
  • Patients with any psychiatric condition or cognitive impairment, as determined by the treating physician, that would hamper participation in interviews.
  • Patients previously involved in Phase I.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
