About this study

This current registry study will analyze real-world data to address questions about disease characteristics and treatment patterns in NMSC patients based on the European NMSC-Registry. The overall objective is to describe characteristics, management and treatment outcomes for patients presenting with advanced NMSC (cSCC/BCC) or HR-cSCC in routine clinical practice, independent of treatments used across different European regions.

Read the detailed description

Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and the most frequent cancer in the white population. Incidence rates of NMSC are increasing, partly attributable to more outdoor leisure activities and aging population. Among NMSC, basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are the most predominant histologic subtypes. Real-world data especially those systematically recorded in registries are limited. With limited resources, many cancer databases do not register all primary NMSCs. For advanced patients with NMSC, the EUMelaReg consortium (EMR) introduces a registry specific for NMSC across Europe (EMR-NMSC) which brings together national registries and operates as a higher-level registry. The aim of this registry is to collect real-world data of the available diagnosis and treatment pattern of advanced NMSC patients at a European level. Data of the EMR NMSC-Registry can be used for specific pre-defined analyses regarding drugs, availability and affordability of various treatments for different patient populations, data on health-related resource utilization, outcome data, and risk factors.

Quality management Study participating sites are responsible for recording and verifying the accuracy of subject data.

A data management plan (DMP) will be in place which describes the life cycle of the study data from the collection to archiving, including all measures to ensure that the data remain available, usable and comprehensible. It includes rules and regulations for e.g. data validation, data processing, medical coding, quality review procedures and archiving of study documentation. National and international data protection laws as well as regulations on registries will be followed.

Data validation Detailed information on checks for completeness, accuracy, plausibility and validity are given in the data validation plan (DVP). The computerized handling of the data by the service provider may generate requests to which the participating site needs to respond by confirming or modifying the data questioned.

    Time to next treatment (TTNT) defined as the time from the date of treatment initiation in the advanced stage until the next line of treatment.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  9. Time to treatment discontinuation (TTD) - for advanced cSCC, advanced BCC only

    Time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), defined as the interval between start of treatment and its permanent discontinuation or death.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  10. Progression free survival (PFS) - for advanced cSCC, advanced BCC only

    Progression free survival (PFS) from start of treatment in the advanced stage to progression based on physician's assessment or death due to any cause.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  11. Overall response rate (ORR) - for advanced cSCC, advanced BCC only

    Overall response rate (ORR) during first line/second line treatment defined as the proportion of patients with CR or PR as best response according to physician's routine method.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  12. Time to recurrence (TTR)

    For resected high-risk cSCC, defined as AJCC 8th edition T class of T3 tumor or any resected N-positive regional disease only:

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  13. Disease Free Survival (DFS)

    For resected high-risk cSCC, defined as AJCC 8th edition T class of T3 tumor or any resected N-positive regional disease only:

    Disease Free Survival (DFS) defined as period from complete resection to date of relapse or death of any cause.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  14. Freedom from distant recurrence (FFDR)

    For resected high-risk cSCC, defined as AJCC 8th edition T class of T3 tumor or any resected N-positive regional disease only:

    Freedom from distant recurrence (FFDR) defined as time from date of R0-surgery to date of occurrence of a distant metastasis.

    Measured: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation

  15. Freedom from locoregional recurrence (FFLRR)

    For resected high-risk cSCC, defined as AJCC 8th edition T class of T3 tumor or any resected N-positive regional disease only:

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alexandra Hansen (+493037026901, alexandra.hansen@eumelareg.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Real-world demographics in routine clinical practice (time frame: min. 2 years up to max 5 years of observation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
