Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma |
This trial is a prospective, observational Phase IV study is to understand the cancer management and health-related quality of life in patients with mRCC in routine real-world clinical practice in the United States, including both community and academic treatment settings. Primarily, the study will evaluate patient experience through collection of patient reported outcomes (PROs). The study will also collect and assess information on the therapies used such as first-line treatment selection, treatment sequence and duration, the drivers of physician selection of particular agents, and discontinuation of therapies.
The primary objective is to determine distinct patterns of change in the quality of life and symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy.
Patients will be identified and undergo consent and baseline assessments, including research blood collection and processing, by the study site team, this baseline visit will be their only clinic visits per protocol. All other visits are standard of care visits and outside the scope of the study.
Subsequent follow up with be coordinated centrally by DCRI. Additional clinic data will be obtained via PCORnet data pull and Medicare claims. Patient reported outcomes, quality of life and medications data will be obtained via the DCRI Call Center through follow-up phone interviews.

Group/Cohort |
---|
Patients with metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) with no prior systemic therapy for mRCC
This is an observational cohort.
|
- Change in medication adherence as measured by patient report. [ Time Frame: baseline, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for up to 36 months ]Patient's report their medication at each study visit.
- Change in quality of life in mRCC patients receiving therapy as measured by FKSI-19 [ Time Frame: baseline, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for up to 36 months ]The FKSI-19 is a questionnaire about the disease-related symptoms - physical, disease-related symptoms - emotional, treatment side-effects, and function/well-being.
- Change in symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy as measured by FKSI-19 [ Time Frame: baseline, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for up to 36 months ]The FKSI-19 is a questionnaire about the disease-related symptoms - physical, disease-related symptoms - emotional, treatment side-effects, and function/well-being.
- Change in quality of life in mRCC patients receiving therapy as measured by FACT-G [ Time Frame: baseline, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for up to 36 months ]The FACT-G is a questionnaire about the physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being.
- Change in symptom burden in mRCC patients receiving therapy as measured by FACT-G [ Time Frame: baseline, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for up to 36 months ]The FACT-G is a questionnaire about the physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, and functional well-being.
- First line management choice(s) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of REDCap data entry by sites, PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on line management choice(s).
- Subsequent line management choice(s) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of REDCap data entry by sites, PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on line management choice(s).
- Dosing (starting dose, dose intensity, ending dose) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of REDCap data entry by sites, PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on dosing.
- Dose holds and dose interruptions [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on dosing holds and interruptions.
- Time on treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of REDCap data entry by sites, PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on time on treatment.
- Time to next treatment [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on time to next treatment.
- Early discontinuation of one agent of a combination [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on early discontinuation of one agent of a combination.
- Concomitant glucocorticoid use [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on concomitant glucocorticoid use.
- Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WAPI) questionnaire [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of REDCap data entry by sites, PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on the WAPI questionnaire.
- Health care resource utilization (including hospitalizations) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of PCORnet data pull, Medicare data pull, Physician questionnaire and patient follow-up interviews will be used to get data on health care resource utilization.
- Overall survival (OS) of mRCC patients [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months ]A composite of various starting points (time of diagnosis of metastatic disease, time of study entry and time of starting systemic therapy) to avoid lead-time bias.
