Understanding and Optimising PARP Inhibitors for mBC

PARP Inhibitors in mBC: the role of Real World Evidence

EMBRACA Study Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 questionnaires¹

PROs were included as exploratory endpoints in an open-label study; analyses were prespecified and adjustments for multiplicity were not made. No efficacy conclusions can be made from these data²

EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 have established reference values in the metastatic setting, showing their validity and reliability for quality of life (QoL) assessment in patients with LA/mBC³

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a general cancer-related PRO instrument^1,3,4

Assesses PROs in the following scales validated individually, not collectively:

Global health status/quality of life (GHS/QoL)
Functional status across 5 scales: physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning
Symptom severity across 8 scales: fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, and diarrhea

EORTC QLQ-BR23 is a breast cancer-specific PRO instrument^1,3

Assesses PROs in the following scales validated individually, not collectively:

Functional status across 4 scales: body image, sexual functioning, sexual enjoyment, and future perspective
Symptom severity across 4 scales: side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms, and upset by hair loss

Scoring^1,3

GHS/QoL is evaluated using two 7-point Likert scales with responses from "very poor" to "excellent." A 4-point Likert scale with responses from "not at all" to "very much" is used to evaluate functional and symptom scales.

AE=adverse event; EORTC=European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer; LA/mBC=locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer; PFS=progression-free survival; QLQ-BR23=Quality of Life Questionnaire–Breast Cancer Module; QLQ-C30=Quality of Life Questionnaire–Core 30.
