Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and lethal primary brain tumor. The standard treatment for newly diagnosed GBM includes surgical resection, when feasible, followed by radiotherapy and temozolomide-based chemotherapy. Upon disease progression, the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, can be considered.

For many new oncological drugs, including target therapy and immunotherapy, the treatment should be continued as long as the patient is deriving clinical benefit from therapy or until unacceptable toxicity occurs. Drug survival or Time to treatment discontinuation (Ttd) or persistence have become important intermediate efficacy endpoints, especially in real-world settings due to their strong correlation with endpoints such as Time to treatment failure (Ttf) and Progression free survival (Pfs). Our methodology is based on validated indicators and information technology tools, to develop continuous and updated oncology drug utilization reports in hospital setting which include data about enrolment curves, Ttd, adherence, dose intensity, dose changes and budget impact.

Dual inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways offers the prospect of improving the effectiveness of EFGR-targeted therapy. In this phase 3 study (ClinicalTrial.gov: NCT04028778), 315 patients with treatment-naïve, EGFR-mutated, advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were randomized (1:1) to receive anlotinib or placebo plus gefitinib once daily on days 1-14 per a 3-week cycle.
