Abstract
Patients with advanced-stage cancer seek treatments that prolong survival and improve quality of life. We analysed new anticancer drug indications approved by the FDA and EMA between 2020 and 2023 using the European Society for Medical Oncology-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale quality-of-life checklist. Our findings highlight critical gaps in the availability and reliability of quality-of-life outcomes from the pivotal trials that support these approvals.
晚期癌症患者寻求能延长生存期并改善生活质量的治疗方法。我们使用欧洲肿瘤内科学会临床获益量表(European Society for Medical Oncology-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale)生活质量检查表分析了美国食品药品管理局(FDA)和欧洲医学管理局(EMA)在 2020 年至 2023 年期间批准的新抗癌药物适应症。我们的研究结果凸显了支持这些批准的关键性试验在生活质量结果的可用性和可靠性方面存在的重大差距。
