Brief Summary

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

Non-profit, multicenter, prospective, observational study. This study aims to evaluate whether the articulated treatment algorithm that is now possible for OC patients does produce tangible changes of financial distress over the time and whether the determinants of financial distress change their relative weight over the time.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PROFFIT questionnaire is an Italian instrument for evaluating FT in cancer patients in the Italian healthcare context. It includes 16 total items, 7 measuring FT (defining the PROFFIT financial score) and 9 measuring possible determinants of FT.The primary aim of the study is to compare PROFFIT financial score (items 1-7 measuring the financial distress) across different lines of treatment for OC patients undergoing anticancer medical treatment. Primary comparison will be based on PROFFIT questionnaire fulfilled at baseline, before starting each line of treatment.

In addition, among secondary aims of this study, we aim to verify whether FT is associated with quality of life response (items 29-30 of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire and items 55-56 of the EORTC QLQ-OV28 questionnaire), with patient-self reporting toxicity of treatments (selected symptoms of the PRO-CTCAE library response), and with overall survival.

Study Groups

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

Cohort 1:

Patients undergoing their first medical treatment for OC (including adjuvant and neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and first-line treatment for advanced in patients not previously treated with adjuvant chemotherapy)

Questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

The PROFFIT questionnaire is a PRO instrument composed by 16 items encompassing all the major life domains where FT can be expressed and is formed by two type of items: (1) outcome (items 1-7) and (2) determinants (items 8-16); EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire (items 29-30) and OV28 (items 55-58); PRO-CTCAE: short list of 43 symptoms relevant for ovarian cancer

Cohort 2

Patients undergoing their second medical treatment for OC (including the second-line treatment for advanced disease and the first-line treatment for advanced disease in patients previously treated with adjuvant CT)
