  1. Symptom Benefit StudyMeasuring the Benefit of Palliative Chemotherapy in women with platinum refractory/ resistant ovarian cancer ANZGOG – 0701

  2. Study Background • The aim is to develop a method to measure the benefit of chemotherapy, which takes into account BOTH subjective and objective responses • Document time to symptom progression as an additional endpoint as well as symptom benefit • Better insight into patterns of care and reasons for treatment with platinum resistant or refractory ovarian cancer • Develop a prognostic index that better defines outcomes and test in a separate group

  3. Objective • Stage 1: To determine the symptoms and aspects of HRQL that are rated most severe, troublesome in patients and identify best instruments to use in stage 2 • Stage 2: To determine the proportion of women benefiting from palliative chemotherapy as defined by a clinically significant improvement in HRQL scores and improvement of symptoms and time to symptom progression.

  5. Study Schema • During Trial • Stage1 • Complete QoL • questionnaires at • each cycle • 20 subjects will • participate in • additional QoL • telephone interviews • Stage2 • Determine the optimal • QoL forms from Stage1 • Longer follow-up • Prognostic data collected at baseline Target Population >18yrs platinum resistant/ refractory epithelial ovarian cancer ECOG 0-3 Able to commence treatment within 2wks of registration Ability to complete QoL forms independently Data Collection 4 Treatment cycles or Disease progression Proposed longer follow-up for Stage 2 REGISTER

  6. Lung Cancer as a Model Close parallels between platinum resistant/ refractory ovarian cancer and recurrent NSCLC and SCLC in terms of response rates and survival

  13. Current status Fourteen sites open to recruitment Twelve in Australia Two in Canada A further nine Australian sites are currently awaiting final ethics approval Total recruitment 46 26 Australia 20 Canada

  14. Baseline Demographics Reason for treatment at enrolment N = 46

  15. Baseline Demographics cont’d Major symptoms reported at baseline: 1. Pain 2. Fatigue 3. Abdominal Bloating ECOG 0 = 17 (N = 45 - missing data for one patient) 1 = 26 2 = 2 3 = 0

  16. Previous lines of chemotherapy N = 43 * Missing data on 3 x pts – awaiting response from sites

  17. Majority Platinum Resistant Compliance All questionnaires were completed to a very high compliance rate with few or no missing data

  18. Death/Disease Progression 1 x pt. has withdrawn consent 3 x pts. off study due to site error NB. Due to centralised data entry, there is a time lag in receipt of CRFs

  19. Stage 1 QoL Questionnaires • Symptom Representation Questionnaire • FACT-O (includes FOSI) • EORTC QLQ-C30 • EORTC QLQ-OV28 • Patient Data Form • Expected and Perceived Benefit Scale • HAD Scale (Baseline & End of Treatment only) • Herth Hope Index (Baseline & End of Treatment only)

  20. Ovarian Symptom Benefit Study (OSBS) Initial results and rationale for choosing the FACT-O and revising the Patient DATA Form – Ovarian as the patient reported outcome measures (PRO) for stage 2 Prepared by Madeleine King and Martin Stockler on behalf of theOvarian Symptom Benefit Study Team 6 October 2009

  21. Background: What’s the problem? • OSBS stage 1 uses 4 questionnaires to measure symptoms and/or quality of life: items • Symptom Representation Questionnaire (SRQ) 66 • Pt Disease & Treatment Assessment (Pt DATA Form) 48 • FACT-O (including 8 items of FOSI) 39 • QLQ-C30 + Ov28 58 • The booklet was deliberately long and repetitive to corroborate findings and help determine the best subset of items for future studies • Interviews with 10 patients indicated that they neither preferred nor disliked any particular questionnaires

  22. Substitutability of candidate questionnaires • SRQ vs. Patient DATA Form • designed to measure clinically important aspects of QOL • similar layouts, 0 to 10 scales • single-item scoring (rather than multi-item or domain scoring) • QLQ-C30/Ov28 vs. FACT-O • designed to measure quality of life (QOL) in cancer clinical trials • similar format and layout, similar response scales • multi-item domains & scoring (QLQ-C30 incl. some single items) • We decided to choose for OSBS stage 2 • Either SRQ or Pt-DATA Form for individual symptoms • Either QLQ-C30/Ov28 or FACT-O for multi-dimensional QOL

  23. ‘First filter’ analysis: aims & methods Aim Determine which 4 PRO questionnaires to retain for stage 2 Analysis • Prevalence of each possible symptom in the ‘Top Three Most Noticed Symptoms in the last week’ (as asked by the Symptom Representation Questionnaire). • Summary statistics and histograms describing the frequency distributions of items and domain scores for each symptom at baseline • Changes from baseline in item and domain scores Data 31 patients who completed QOL questionnaires at baseline (pre-C1) AND (pre-C2 (AND/OR) pre-C3) by Jul ‘09

  24. Results: Top 10 Symptoms of the ‘Three Most Noticed Symptoms in the last week’at baseline

  25. Coverage of Top 10 symptoms by candidate questionnaires

  26. Detailed example of overlap Pain - general

  27. Results at baseline (pre-cycle 1) • For each of the top 10 symptoms: • we compared distributions and summary statistics for similar items • No major ceiling or floor effects • Similar distributions for similar items • Nothing to choose between questionnaires

  28. Change at Cycles 2 and 3 • For each of the top 10 symptoms: • we compared distributions and summary statistics of change scores on similar items • Mean change ~0 with large SD reflecting improvements in some women and deteriorations in others • Comparable results across q’aires • Nothing to choose between questionnaires

  29. Decisions Retain modified Pt DATA Form – Ovarian to measure key symptoms • Enhance coverage of the Top 10 • Allow measurement of both current status and change • Modifications by developer and OSBS investigators  OSBS Recent Status Form (after each cycle) OSBS Change Form (after every 2nd cycle) • Develop a separate Side Effects Form for net clinical benefit Retain FACT-O (including FOSI) to measure QOL FACT-O • Has fewer items: 39 (incl. 8 for FOSI) vs. 58 in the QLQ-C30/Ov28 • Provides summary scores: overall QOL, Trial Outcome Index, FOSI • Overall QOL based on all items QLQ-C30 • 22 sub scales • Duplication of single-item symptoms with Pt DATA Form • Global QOL based on 2 items
