Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Medico-economic Evaluation of the ONCORAL Program for Ambulatory Patients Under Oral Anticancer Drugs Versus Usual Care

Study Description

Brief Summary: Economic impact of cancer treatments is increasing for years: increase of number of patients (385 000 new occurrences in 2015), increase of life expectancies, chronicization of diseases and increase of therapeutic innovation costs. Oral anticancer drugs allow the ambulatory turn in oncologic treatments, avoid hospitalizations dues to injectable chemotherapies and improve patient autonomy. In real life situation, these drugs still remain linked to significant drug iatrogenic effects: prevalent adverse events and potentially serious ones, drugs interactions for one other patient, considered as major in 15-20% cases, and non-observance for 30-50% patients. The resultant care overconsumption and the high cost of new oral targeted therapies appear as a substantial financial charge to the Health related program. Securing oral chemotherapy and their good practice therefore represent a real economic challenge and lead health care professionals to develop town-hospital programs of ambulatory patient's follow-up under oral anticancer drug in response of third Cancer Plan. Benefice of such interventions are proved on observance, management of adverse events and drug interactions. However, the effectiveness of these programs has not been evaluated and no studies have been conducted in France. The Investigators propose here to carry out a medico-economic study of high level of proof of the ONCORAL program. This study will be the first evaluation of the effectiveness of a program for monitoring outpatient oral cancer patients versus usual care. The results of this study will contribute to the national reflection on the path of care of patients treated by oral chemotherapy, on the assessment of needs and the evolution of the supply of care and its financing.
