Official title
A Cross-sectional Survey-based Study Using Preference Elicitation Method to Assess Decision-making Impact Factor of Chinese Patients and Physicians for First-line EGFR-TKIs Treatment of Stage IV NSCLC (CHOICE)
Overview
This non-interventional, cross-sectional study aims to investigate treatment preferences from a sample of physicians and patients with experience of 1L EGFR-TKI for stage IV NSCLC by administering a survey, which primarily includes a DCE approach.
Detailed description
This non-interventional, cross-sectional study aims to investigate treatment preferences from a sample of physicians and patients with experience of 1L EGFR-TKI for stage IV NSCLC by administering a survey, which primarily includes a DCE approach.
The study will collect data from participants via the questionnaire developed by the research team. This study will be conducted in two stages. Stage 1 is the study design phase (i.e., qualitative stage and questionnaire development), which includes the development of the questionnaire, identification of key attributes and levels for the Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE), creation of hypothetical patient profiles to explore high-risk factors in physician decision-making beyond the DCE, as well as questionnaire programming, internal review, pilot testing, revisions, and finalization. Stage 2 involves the implementation of the quantitative survey using the finalized questionnaire and the subsequent data analysis to generate insights into treatment preferences.
Primary outcome measures
- Preferences weights for each attribute level evaluated in the DCE [Time frame: Day of interview/survey completion(Day1)]
- Relative attribute importance (RAI) [Time frame: Day of interview/survey completion(Day1)]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Maximum acceptable risks (MAR) and minimum acceptable benefit (MAB) [Time frame: Day of interview/survey completion(Day1)]
- RAI, MAR, and MAB by patient and physician characteristics subgroups [Time frame: Day of interview/survey completion(Day1)]
- Odds ratios (ORs) for the association between patient characteristics and the likelihood of physicians recommending combination therapy (EGFR-TKI plus platinum/pemetrexed chemotherapy or EGFR-TKI plus bispecific antibody) versus EGFR-TKI monotherapy [Time frame: Day of interview/survey completion(Day1)]
