摘要
简介滤泡性淋巴瘤(FL)是非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)的一种隐匿性亚型,其特点是缓解/复发的自然病程较长。我们的目的是评估FL患者在现实世界中的生活质量(QoL),按治疗方案(LOT)和国家进行评估:数据来自阿德尔菲 FL 特定疾病计划(Adelphi FL Disease Specific Programme™),这是一项于 2021 年 6 月至 2022 年 1 月对欧洲(法国、德国、意大利、西班牙、英国)和美国的医生及其患者进行的横断面调查。患者通过欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织 QoL 问卷(EORTC QLQ-C30)提供人口统计数据和患者报告结果。双变量分析评估了QoL与NHL、LOT[一线(1L)、二线(2L)、三线或三线以上(3L+)]和国家的关系:患者(n = 401)的平均[标准差(SD)]年龄为 66.0 (9.24)岁,58.1%为男性,41.9%/22.9%为Ann Arbor III/IV期。FL患者的平均EORTC总体健康状况(GHS)/生活质量(QoL)、恶心/呕吐、疼痛、呼吸困难、食欲不振和腹泻评分在统计学上明显降低(P晚期 LOT 的 FL 患者在大多数 QoL 方面的得分明显低于早期 LOT 患者。与美国相比,欧洲患者的功能明显较低,症状负担较重。这些真实世界的研究结果凸显了对新型 FL 疗法的需求,这种疗法可减轻患者的负担,并对 QoL 产生积极影响。
Quality of Life Evaluation in Patients with Follicular Cell Lymphoma: A Real-World Study in Europe and the United States
Introduction
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), characterized by a long natural course of remissions/relapses. We aimed to evaluate real-world quality of life (QoL) in patients with FL, by line of therapy (LOT), and across countries.
Methods
Data were drawn from the Adelphi FL Disease Specific Programme™, a cross-sectional survey of physicians and their patients in Europe [France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom (UK)], and the United States (US) from June 2021 to January 2022. Patients provided demographics and patient-reported outcomes via the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Bivariate analysis assessed QoL versus NHL, across LOT [first line (1L), second line (2L), third line or later (3L+)] and country.
Results
Patients (n = 401) had a mean [standard deviation (SD)] age of 66.0 (9.24) years, 58.1% were male, and 41.9%/22.9% were Ann Arbor stage III/IV. Patients with FL mean EORTC global health status (GHS)/QoL, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, appetite loss, and diarrhea scores were statistically significantly worse (p < 0.05) versus the NHL reference values. Mean (SD) GHS/QoL worsened from 1L [56.5 (22.21)] to 3L+ [50.4 (20.11)]. Physical and role functioning, fatigue, pain, dyspnea, and diarrhea scores also significantly worsened across later LOTs (p < 0.05). Across all functional domains, mean scores were significantly lower (p < 0.05) and almost all symptom scores (excluding diarrhea) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) for European versus US patients.
Conclusions
Patients with FL at later LOTs had significantly worse scores in most QoL aspects than earlier LOTs. European patients had significantly lower functioning and higher symptom burden than in the US. These real-world findings highlight the need for novel FL therapies that alleviate patient burden, positively impacting QoL.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all therapeutic areas. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Advances in Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
