Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
A prospective, non-interventional, non-controlled multicenter observational study to evaluate aspects of pharmaceutical care and the treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone-receptor positive, HER2-receptor negative, advanced breast cancer treated with everolimus and exemestane. The main objective of the study is to evaluate medication adherence in postmenopausal, hormone-receptor positive, HER2-receptor negative, advanced breast cancer treated with a combination of everolimus and exemestane. Additionally, other aspects of the pharmacotherapy, with focus on the patient perspective, will be investigated: * Patient satisfaction with treatment information * Patient satisfaction with treatment * Health-related quality of life * Treatment efficacy * Treatment-related toxicity * Patient follow-up by the oncologic team/general practitioner and or specialized home nurses This study should reveal information necessary for the development of pharmacotherapeutic care concepts that meet the needs of cancer patients treated with an oral anti-cancer drug over a long period.

Arms (1)
- label
- ER positive, HER2 negative breast cancer patients
- description
- Postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 receptor negative breast cancer
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Medication adherence
- timeFrame
- one year
- description
- At the first visit patients will receive their anti-cancer medication by the hospital in two separate pill boxes which electronically record openings cf. Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS®, Aardex). The recorded information in these chips will be read in the hospital pharmacy each time the patient gets new capsules. This information is strictly confidential and can only be consulted by the research team at the KULeuven.
Secondary outcomes (8)
- measure
- Patient Satisfaction with Cancer Treatment Education (Ps-CaTE)
- timeFrame
- one year
- description
- Satisfaction with cancer treatment information will be assessed, using a standardised questionnaire at the start of the treatment and after approximately 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of treatment
