Researchers are evaluating the real-world effectiveness, safety, and patient compliance of ribociclib combined with an aromatase inhibitor for adjuvant treatment in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer at high risk of recurrence. This observational study also compares ribociclib treatment with abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy and endocrine therapy alone, aiming to better understand treatment decisions and clinical adoption in routine practice. The study is conducted across breast centers and gynecological practices to represent typical healthcare settings. Participants receive treatment based on their physicians clinical judgment without randomization or intervention assignment. The study collects data from patients treated with ribociclib plus aromatase inhibitor with or without luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone LHRH, abemaciclib plus endocrine therapy with or without LHRH, or endocrine therapy alone with or without LHRH. Baseline data and follow-up information on adverse events, quality of life, treatment adherence, and socio-economic factors are gathered over time. During the study, participants undergo assessments including evaluation of invasive disease-free survival up to 36 months, quality of life questionnaires, medication adherence reports, and monitoring of adverse events and treatment changes. Data on reasons for treatment decisions, patient perceptions, and healthcare provider involvement are also collected. The study duration extends up to 39 months to provide a comprehensive overview of treatment impact and patient experience in real-world clinical settings.

Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to examine asthma control, health-related quality of life HRQL, lung function, and asthma medication use in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab in routine clinical practice settings in Germany. The study aims to gather real-world evidence on these patients over a 52-week period. Participants will be treated with benralizumab as part of their standard care, and no additional treatment will be assigned by the study. Asthma control will be assessed using the Asthma Control Test ACT and the Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire AIRQae at various timepoints. Health-related quality of life will be measured using the mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire miniAQLQ at baseline and follow-up visits. Patients will record their weekly asthma medication intake using either paper or electronic diaries throughout the study. During the study, participants will attend routine follow-up visits where investigators will collect clinical assessments and questionnaire data. Researchers will monitor changes in asthma control, lung function parameters, medication use, and patient-reported outcomes up to 52 weeks after the first dose of benralizumab. The primary outcomes include changes in ACT scores and inhaled corticosteroid use, while secondary outcomes cover remission criteria, lung function, biomarkers, exacerbation rates, and quality of life measures.

Researchers are observing the real-world effects and patient experiences of trastuzumab deruxtecan T-DXd treatment in adults with HER2-positive, HER2-low, or HER2-ultralow unresectable or metastatic breast cancer. This prospective, non-interventional study takes place in multiple centers in Germany and aims to collect patient-reported outcomes along with safety and efficacy data during routine clinical practice. Approximately 800 patients will be enrolled, divided evenly between HER2-positive and HER2-lowultralow cohorts. Participants will receive T-DXd treatment as prescribed by their doctors according to the approved product guidelines SmPC. Treatment and visit schedules are determined by the treating physician and are not fixed by the study protocol. Patients will also be informed about using a digital healthcare application DiGA during the study. The study includes two cohorts based on HER2 status, both receiving T-DXd in routine care. During the study, participants will be followed to measure the time until their next treatment or death, assessed for up to 60 months from the first T-DXd dose. Quality of life will be evaluated using questionnaires at six months after baseline. Patient safety and treatment effects will be monitored through data collected in routine clinical visits. The total participation period may extend up to eight years, allowing for long-term observation of treatment outcomes in real-world settings.
