Abstract

Objective

This study was conducted to capture the educational needs, perceptions, and perspectives of oncologists towards Compassionate Use Programs (CUPs) in Asia, with the aim of gathering insights related to unmet needs for physician and patient assistance.

Methods

The participants responded to a voluntary, self-administered, closed-ended questionnaire through an online platform between 29 April 2020 and 17 June 2020.

Results

A total of 111 oncologists provided informed consent to participate in the study. Of these, 102 respondents fully completed the questionnaire and were included in the analyses. Maximum respondents (35.3%) had 10–20 years of experience after specialization with 19.6, 23.5, and 21.6% respondents having <5, 5–10, and ≥20 years of experience, respectively. Practice type plays a statistically significant role in the awareness of the existing compassionate program (p = .0066). While many respondents seem clear on the application process for CUP set in place by pharmaceutical companies, a higher number of respondents are unclear about the country regulations and processes for applying to CUPs set in place by regulatory authorities. Most respondents (75.5%) reported that there are no resources or training provided to them regarding CUPs. There was a significant association between the clarity of the application process for CUP set in place by the sponsors and the number of applications submitted (p = .0321).

Conclusions

Our study brings light on various issues faced by physicians in accessing CUPs especially related to the lack of education and training on utilizing CUPs. There are significant unmet needs related to improving the clarity for the application process, providing resources and related training, particularly for oncologists who do not have previous experience with CUPs.

肿瘤学家对亚洲同情用药计划的教育需求、看法和观点

摘要

客观的

本研究旨在了解亚洲肿瘤学家对同情使用计划 (CUP) 的教育需求、看法和观点,旨在收集与未满足的医生和患者援助需求相关的见解。

方法

参与者在 2020 年 4 月 29 日至 2020 年 6 月 17 日期间通过在线平台回答了一份自愿、自我管理的封闭式问卷。

结果

共有 111 名肿瘤学家提供了参与研究的知情同意书。其中,102 名受访者完全完成了问卷并被纳入分析。最多的受访者 (35.3%) 在专业化后拥有 10-20 年的经验,分别有 19.6、23.5 和 21.6% 的受访者具有 <5、5-10 和 20 年以上的经验。实践类型在对现有同情计划的认识中起着统计学上的重要作用(p = .0066)。虽然许多受访者似乎清楚制药公司制定的 CUP 申请流程,但更多受访者不清楚监管机构制定的国家法规和申请 CUP 的流程。大多数受访者 (75.5%) 表示没有向他们提供有关 CUP 的资源或培训。赞助商制定的 CUP 申请流程的清晰度与提交的申请数量之间存在显着关联 ( p  = .0321)。

结论

我们的研究揭示了医生在使用 CUP 时面临的各种问题,尤其是与缺乏使用 CUP 的教育和培训相关的问题。在提高申请流程的清晰度、提供资源和相关培训方面存在大量未满足的需求,特别是对于以前没有使用 CUP 经验的肿瘤学家。
