Objective To assess growth and identify factors associated with growth response with long-term GH therapy. Methods Data from pediatric patients with GHD, TS, NS, and PWS obtained at GH treatment initiation (baseline) and annually for 5 years in the ANSWER Program and NordiNet® IOS were analyzed retrospectively. Height standard deviation score (HSDS) was assessed over time, and multivariate analyses determined variables with significant positive effects on growth outcomes in each patient cohort. Results Data from patients with GHD (n = 12 683), TS (n = 1307), NS (n = 203), and PWS (n = 102) were analyzed. HSDS increased over time during GH treatment in all cohorts. Factors with significant positive effects on ΔHSDS were younger age at GH initiation and lowe...

Data were collected in the US and Europe from 2006 to 2016. Objective To determine predictors of response to daily growth hormone (GH) for height outcomes using a longitudinal analysis across 5 years of real-world data from pediatric patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), Turner syndrome (TS), Noonan syndrome (NS), and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Methods Data were combined for ANSWER and NordiNet® IOS studies for GH-treatment-naïve pediatric patients on daily somatropin. Descriptive statistics for baseline demographics, outcomes, and GH (mg/kg/d) data were analyzed for each indication; statistics for outcome and GH data were analyzed over time for absolute ...

Although platinum based chemotherapy (CT) regimens are the standard of therapy in first line NSCLC, a subset of patients are ineligible to receive such agents. Docetaxel and vinorelbine are each active agents in NSCLC and when combined may provide enhanced activity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination therapy when administered on a Q2W schedule with Filgrastim support. METHODS This multi-center, community based study was conducted in 10 sites that enrolled 61 CT naïve patients with Stage IIIb/IV NSCLC. Treatment consisted of vinorelbine 45mg/m2and docetaxel 60mg/m2 D1 and Filgrastim 5 mcg/kg D2 -D14 repeated Q2W for 8 cycles. Patients were evaluated for response at the end of cycles 2, 5 and 8. Confirmed response was defined as complete or partial response (CR, PR) based upon two or more evaluations, while best response was defined as the best of the three evaluations. We report response rate and Kaplan-Meier estimate (95%CL) of time to disease progression and one-year survival. RESULTS Of 61 enrolled patients 42% (95% confidence interval [CI], 30% to 54%) achieved either CR or PR as best response; and 13% (95% CI, 9% to 17%) of patients had a confirmed response. Median time to disease progression was 160 days. With a median follow-up time of 14.2 months, the estimated median survival time is 14.1 months (95% CI lower bound, 8.5), and the 1-year survival rate is 57% (95% CI, 44% to 70%). Five patients (8%) experienced febrile neutropenia (ANC < 500/mm3 plus body temperature >= 38.2°C). Overall calculated dose intensity (delivered/planned dose x 100) was 95% for vinorelbine and 93% for docetaxel. CONCLUSION The combination of docetaxel and vinorelbine can be delivered with high dose intensity with Filgrastim support. Additionally in this multi-center non-controlled study completed in a community setting, an interesting 1-year and overall median survival is observed and supports further evaluation.

The efficacy and safety of this combination was assessed when it was administered every 14 days with Filgrastim support in a community practice setting. This open-label study was conducted at 12 community oncology practices in the United States. Sixty-one chemotherapy-naive patients with Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC received vinorelbine 45 mg/m2 followed by docetaxel 60 mg/m2 on Day 1 and Filgrastim 5 mcg/kg beginning on Day 2, with cycles repeated every 14 days. Among 61 enrolled patients, 44% of patients had either a complete or partial response as their best response, and 27% of patients had confirmed complete or partial responses. The median time to confirmed response was 1.9 months (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.9-2.3 mos), and the median duration of confirmed response was 6.0 months (95% CI, 3.1-14.4 mos). The median time to disease progression was 4.9 months (95% CI, 3.8-5.8 mos). With a median follow-up of 14.3 months, the median survival was 12.9 months (95% CI, 8.1-14.3 mos), and the 1-year survival rate was 56% (95% CI, 43-69%). The relative dose intensity was 94% for vinorelbine and 93% for docetaxel. Febrile neutropenia occurred in 9 patients (15%) and during 9 of 351 cycles (3%). It was possible to administer dose-dense vinorelbine and docetaxel chemotherapy with Filgrastim support, beginning in the first cycle, to patients with NSCLC who were treated in a community practice setting.

However, hospital organizational capacity-building for the collection and sharing of PROs is a complex process. We sought to identify the factors that facilitated capacity-building for PRO data collection in a nascent quality improvement learning collaborative of 16 hospitals that has the goal of improving the childbirth experience. Description We used standard qualitative case study methodologies based on a conceptual framework that hypothesizes that adequate organizational incentives and capacities allow successful achievement of project milestones in a collaborative setting. The 4 project milestones considered in this study were: (1) Agreements; (2) System Design; (3) System Development and Operations; and (4) Implementation. To evaluate the success of reaching each milestone, critical incidents were...

Using data through mid-2019, this study strives to make the body of studies more current, and to provide more recent data on the baseline characteristics and OS of treated SCLC patients, stratified by stage at diagnosis. Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified adult patients with confirmed SCLC between January 1, 2016 - December 31, 2018 that initiated anti-cancer treatment using real-world data from electronic medical records (ConcertAI, including data from CancerLinQ, an initiative of the American Society of Clinical Oncology). Exclusion criteria included evidence of other primary cancer at baseline, no initial stage recorded, death prior to diagnosis, or participation in a clinical trial. Patients entered the cohort upon receipt of their first anti-cancer treatment after SCLC diagnosis and were assigned up to three progressio...
