This research investigates treatment patterns and the evaluation of homologous recombination repair mutations (HRRm) in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) among patients with aggressive high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) in the Russian Federation. The study focuses on patients with high-aggressive disease characterized by Gleason scores 8-10 and high-volume disease as defined by specific criteria for bone and visceral metastases. Approximately 400 male patients aged 18 years and older with known tumor HRRm status will participate to better understand demographic and clinical characteristics and treatment approaches in routine practice. The study does not introduce new treatments but observes and collects data as patients receive standard care. Two study visits will occur: the first at baseline to gather medical history, demographic data, and treatment information from diagnosis to enrollment, including routine blood samples for ctDNA and HRRm testing. The second visit will happen at disease progression or after about 12 months to collect follow-up data on progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and subsequent treatments. Blood samples will be analyzed centrally. Participants will have their medical records reviewed and may be interviewed to complete missing information. Data will be entered into electronic records by the study physician. Outcome measures include the proportion of patients receiving various treatments (such as androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and specific inhibitors), duration of therapies, time to progression, mutation presence in ctDNA, testosterone levels, and sites of disease progression over 36 months. Follow-up may be completed by phone if in-person visits are not possible, with the total study duration lasting about 38 months or until data from 400 patients are collected.

Researchers are conducting an observational multicenter cross-sectional study to better understand the characteristics of adults with uncontrolled severe asthma in Russia who are not receiving biological therapy. The study aims to collect detailed information on the epidemiology, clinical features, treatment patterns, and demographics of these patients across different regions of the Russian Federation, which vary widely in population composition and environmental factors. The study will help fill the gap in data about severe asthma in Russia, especially in patients treated according to standard care but excluding biologics. The study plans to include 5,000 adult patients from about 50 outpatient centers across 50 regions of Russia. It will collect routine clinical data without altering standard medical care or introducing any new diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. The study design includes one visit per patient to gather demographic, clinical, and treatment information, focusing on patients with uncontrolled severe asthma receiving standard treatments like inhaled corticosteroids with other medications but not biological agents. Participants will provide data through medical records and assessments such as the Asthma Control Questionnaire. Researchers will analyze patterns of drug use, clinical characteristics including comorbidities, blood counts, immunoglobulin levels, and lifestyle factors. The study will characterize patients' demographics, treatment trends, and asthma control status from June 2024 to June 2027. Safety monitoring is observational, with no intervention beyond routine care, and the total participation involves a single study visit.

Researchers are conducting a large, non-interventional observational study to better understand adults with uncontrolled asthma across Russia. This study aims to gather detailed information on the demographic and clinical characteristics of these patients, the treatments they receive, and how their condition is managed in routine clinical practice. The study focuses on patients not treated with biologics and covers a diverse population from about 50 regions in Russia, reflecting differences in ethnicity, climate, and economic status. The study will include 9,000 adult patients with uncontrolled mild to moderate asthma who are receiving standard care. Data will be collected during 2-3 visits that follow routine clinical practice schedules. At the first visit, information from the previous 52 weeks will be gathered from medical records and patient interviews. The second visit will take place about 12 weeks later to collect follow-up data on treatment changes and clinical outcomes. For a subgroup of 500 patients using a fixed-dose combination of budesonide/salbutamol at the second visit, an additional third visit will occur 12 weeks later to further monitor treatment and outcomes. Participants will be monitored through medical record reviews and interviews during these visits. Researchers will assess baseline characteristics such as blood eosinophil counts, sputum eosinophils, and total IgE levels, along with treatment profiles and clinical outcomes. The study does not involve any experimental interventions beyond standard care and aims to provide comprehensive real-world data on uncontrolled asthma management in Russia. The total study duration for participants includes up to 24 weeks of follow-up for some patients.
