Pazopanib in the real-world setting in soft tissue sarcomas: data from the Italian national registry.

Background: Pazopanib is part of the therapeutic armamentarium for the treatment of patients with advanced non-adipocytic soft tissue sarcomas (STS) who have received prior chemotherapy, but its optimal use in STS histologies is still left to be further defined.

Design And Methods: Data on STS patients treated with pazopanib in Italy have been prospectively collected from July 2013 to December 2019 through a drug monitoring registry managed by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA). This nationwide observational cohort study included patients with advanced STS who received pazopanib.

Comparison of baseline patient characteristics in Italian oncology drug monitoring registries and clinical trials: a real-world cross-sectional study.

Background: Generalizability of registrative clinical trials to real-world clinical practice is influenced by comparability of patients in the two settings. We compared characteristics of cancer patients in registrative trials with real-world clinical practice in Italy.

Methods: Data on age, sex and performance status (PS) were derived from web-based monitoring registries developed by Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) and corresponding registrative trials reported in the European Public Assessment Reports (EPAR) of European Medicines Agency (EMA).
