Real-world evaluation of health-related quality of life in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma based on a multinational survey.

Background: Real-world health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) are scarce. This study is to compare patient-reported outcomes in patients with DLBCL across therapy lines and countries.

Methods: Data were derived from the Adelphi DLBCL Disease Specific Programme™ from January 2021 to May 2021, a survey of physicians and their DLBCL patients in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US).

Real-world clinical profile, RET mutation testing, treatments, and PROs for MTC in Europe.

Objective: This study aimed to describe real-world patient and physician characteristics, rearranged during transfection (RET) mutation testing and results, treatment patterns, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (aMTC) across five populous European countries.

Methods: Cross-sectional physician and patient surveys were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK from July to December 2020, prior to the introduction of selective RET inhibitors in Europe. Physicians completed patient record forms and a survey about their specialty and practice site.

Real-world clinical profile, treatment patterns and patient-reported outcomes for thyroid cancer in Japan.

To provide a real-world snapshot of the clinical profile, management, and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) for advanced medullary and papillary thyroid cancer prior to the availability of rearranged during transfection (RET) inhibitors in Japan. Physicians completed patient-record forms for eligible patients seen during routine clinical practice. Physicians were also surveyed about their routine practice and patients were asked to provide PRO data.

Advantages of Proactive Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in a Prospective Cohort of Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated With Anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor.

Few studies have addressed whether proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results in improved clinical outcomes in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with anti-tumour necrosis factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of using proactive TDM in this patient group.Pilot single-centre observational study to accrue data on patients managed with proactive TDM.
