Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Breast cancer ranks top 4 Taiwan mortality cause in 2016 and the incidence rate has been increasing. Since advances in screening and treatment over last decades, disease-free survival in HER2 positive breast cancer improved and relapse rates decrease as well. While health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and productivity benefit is not currently formally assessed by Taiwan Health Technology Agency (HTA) in Taiwan, the value of therapy in terms of a wider societal benefit is a critical factor which is increasingly being considered as part of the overall assessment of the value of a new medicine.

Sort of productivity study in cancer is lack of in Taiwan. Referenced Roche UK team published comprehensive productivity studies1 Taiwan Epidemiology Association wants to initiate study to understand holistic value in each stage of breast cancer and quantify the value of new drug to support HTA assessment.

The data will be collected through study, and adapt to cost-effectiveness model for future reimbursement submission.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group1

Patients currently undergoing treatment for early breast cancer (either targeted HER2 therapy and chemotherapy OR targeted HER therapy alone)

No interventions assigned to this group

Group2

Patients with early breast cancer who have completed treatment and are in disease-free survival (i.e. no longer receiving locoregional treatment, chemotherapy or targeted HER2 therapy; patients may still be receiving hormone therapy)

No interventions assigned to this group

Group3

Patients receiving treatment for metastatic breast cancer

No interventions assigned to this group
