Study design details

Main study objective

The aim of this NIS is to acquire information from routine care• on the impact of physical activity on efficacy and quality of life, • on prophylaxis and management of stomatitis in routine clinical practice• on the sequence of treatmentin the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic HR+ breast cancer who are treated on-label with Afinitor® und exemestane. AEs will be documented.

Outcomes

Primary Observation Parameters: Efficacy of combination of Afinitor® and exemestane in routine use and in relation to intensity of physical activity. Quality of life and physical activityDrug use and treatment sequenceStomatitis managementDocumentation of adverse events

Data analysis plan

Variables measured to be analysed using epidemiology methods with primary use of descriptive statistical methods. If inferential statistical methods are used their results are considered to be purely descriptive. In this exploratory context, no alpha adjustments in multiple statistical comparisons are made.Variables reaching at least interval level will be presented in tabular form including their sample values (no of valid and missing values, min, max, 5th and 95% percentile, first and third quartile, median, mean, standard deviation). For variables at nominal and ordinal level, distribution of the absolute and relative frequencies will be indicated.For adverse events, incidences will be reported based on the patient population included and incidence density (number of events/sum of person times in years) according to the MedDRA system organ class and preferred term for adverse events. Times of events and survival time analyses will be analysed using the Kaplan-Meier methodology.
