Scientific title | Real-world study of the management and outcomes of patients with frontline transplant-eligible multiple myeloma in four European countries (France, Germany, Spain and Italy) |
Study hypothesis | Which treatment regimen is considered the current standard of care in the selected European countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy) for the management of patients with frontline transplant eligible multiple myeloma (FLTE MM) and what has been the evolution of the use of the different regimens in recent years? |
Ethics approval(s) | This study does not require ethics approval. As this is an observational study that uses data previously collected and does not impose any form of intervention, no formal Consent to Release Information form and no Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) review were required. Cancerology database French Q1 2020 edition was conducted as part of the commitment of the MR-004 reference methodology which covers the data processing and delivered by the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) with the authorization number n°2204473 v0. Other Cancerology database editions (French 2021, German 2021, Italian 2020, Spanish 2020) were conducted under ISO 20252 quality standards that guarantee the anonymity of the respondents and of their responses. |
Condition | Frontline transplant-eligible multiple myeloma |
Intervention | A non-interventional retrospective observational study will be conducted in France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Patients with a reported diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) and on ongoing active treatment will be extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of each of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions). The Cancerology MM database includes fully anonymized real-world data, composed of serial chart reviews of patients with a diagnosis of MM and on ongoing active treatment. |

Primary outcome measure | Repartition of the treatments received by the patients with frontline transplant eligible multiple myeloma in induction, consolidation, and maintenance phases and evolution of the repartition by year from 2017 to 2019, extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from diagnosis to date of data collection. |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Time from frontline induction to frontline stem cell transplantation extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from start of frontline induction to frontline stem cell transplantation. 2. Time to next treatment calculated as the duration from the date of initiation of first-line induction to the initiation of the second line of treatment extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from start of frontline induction to initiation of second line of treatment. 3. Best observed response defined as per standard International myeloma working group response criteria over each previous phase of treatment extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from diagnosis to date of data collection. 4. Time to best-observed response calculated as the duration from the date of initiation of frontline therapy to the most recent best-observed response date extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from diagnosis to date of data collection. 5. Duration of therapy calculated as the time from the start of a given treatment to the discontinuation of the same treatment for any reason extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from diagnosis to date of data collection. 6. Treatment-free interval calculated as the time from the discontinuation of first-line therapy to the initiation of second-line therapy extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions) collected for the period from discontinuation of first-line therapy to initiation of second line of treatment. 7. Minimal residual disease based on physician clinical judgement extracted from the Cancerology MM database editions of those four countries (French 2020 & 2021, German 2021, Spanish 2020, and Italian 2020 editions collected for the period from diagnosis to date of data collection. |
