  14. Post CommNETS 2016, initial discussion re Project between Australian and Canadian Collaborators - Simron Singh, Lesley Moody Health Economic Advice from Canada – Christopher Longo Australia – Louisa Gordon Final decision was that there were sufficient differences between Health Systems in the Canada and Aust that Country Specific Survey tools would be required Presenting the Australian project

  15. Objectives • The aim of our study is to assess the financial burden experienced by patients with NETs. Specifically, the aims are: 1. To quantify the medical cost outlays to patients over a defined period of time; 2. To identify the sources of patients facing high economic burden; 3. To understand the impact of financial burden on everyday living and quality of life 4. To describe impacts that NETs has had on employment and insurance experiences • In addition, an exploratory analysis will be undertaken on medicare data, in the patient cohort who consent to this separate project.

  16. Methods • Study design: Cross-sectional online survey of all NET patients referred by the Investigating sites in this project or via the Unicorn Foundation. • Population and setting: All people with NETs who are willing to complete the online survey. The survey will be specifically advertised via 1. The Unicorn Foundation via their current information sharing to NET patients 2. Australian NET Clinical Services including Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, and Royal North Shore Hospital • Sample size: We will target 250 NET patients which provides a sample size sufficient for exploratory analyses and enables subgroups of interest e.g. with/without financial stress • Data collection: An online survey will be constructed in ‘LabPortal’ which is Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMRB’s) internal survey web design.

  17. Progress to Date • Australian survey tool developed in conjunction with Louisa Gordon. • Protocol written and finalized • Project initially submitted for approval to QIMRB ethics committee • Development of online survey / database • RBWH Ethics approval • Peter MacCallum and Royal North Shore Hospital ethics applications underway • Some funding obtained from Ipsen to cover above costs including payments to access individual Medicare data

  18. Current Status • Decision made to commence project / survey to go live 3 weeks ago – Other sites ethics approvals likely to be at least 1-2 months away – Allow a period of at least a month to advertise the survey pre Christmas • Recruitment via – Direct email to individuals on Unicorn Foundation closed group – Direct discussion with patients seen in clinic at RBWH

  19. Current Status • Completion figures to 6 th Dec: • 32 entries (2 did not proceed but did consent, ?re-entered) • 30 have undertaken the survey • 23 completed in full – of these 4 did not consent to Medicare • 7 partially completed (all in first week of commencement – nil last 2 weeks) • 14 from RBWH, 16 via Unicorn • 1 paper survey posted

  20. Current / Future Issues • Survey tool/ logistics – ? Taking longer to complete that first estimated – Already a couple of RBWH patients indicating cannot complete online – have set up a process to provide paper copy of survey • Recruitment – Somewhat slower than expected (Unicorn Foundation) – Reminders via Unicorn Foundation, actively approach RBWH patients outside of clinic visits – Aiming to open at other sites (Ethics Approval) • Additional funding for data analysis by Health Economic team, especially additional data obtained from Medicare – Plan to review this with Unicorn Foundation in the new year

  21. Co mmNETS Project 2017 De Desi sign and C nd Crea eation o of a an Op n Optimal Sha hared ed C Care e Model f for N r NET patients i in the Co Community Principal Investigator: Radhika Yelamanchili Co-PIs: Dorothy Lo, Alia Thawer, David Wyld, David Chan, Simron Singh Research Assistant: Harsh Naik

  22. Background • The management of a NET patient often involves a multidisciplinary approach, among the referring oncologists, surgeons, endocrinologists and a NET specialty centers. • Given the increasing prevalence of NET patients, it is our hope to develop an optimal shared care model that brings quality care closer to a patient. • Very little has been published to date looking at models of shared care between community oncologists (or equivalent) and experts in oncology, and no data was found ,defining such a model in NETs specifically. • The first part of our project was to understand, the current landscape of practice involving medical oncologists and NET specialty centers, using a survey.

  23. Methods Survey Development • Survey premise and domains were initially generated, at CommNETS 2016 roundtable discussion • Questions generated during 3 conference calls and finalized over numerous email communications (with input from all 6 members). Survey Dissemination • Survey Monkey was used as the online platform. • Survey link emailed to oncologists in Ontario (ONTMOA list) • Queensland: respondents recruited through list serve used for local educational meetings • Survey sent out 2 nd week of November 2017.

  24. Methods Survey Components • Key domains: demographics, comfort with NETs treatment decisions and management, interest in shared-care model and NETs education, barriers to collaboration, ideas for collaboration • 30 questions (7-14 used modified Likert scale, 26-30 free text) Responses To-Date • 59 medical oncologists (MO) responded as of December 1. • Data reviewed and analyzed for recurrent themes.

  25. Demographics • Only 11% of the MO were practicing at a NET specialty center • Majority of the MO had <= 5 6 .

  36. Qs 26 to 30: Qualitative Themes Asked about current challenges faced by providers (NET and non NET specialty centers) Medical Oncologists outside a NET specialty center - lack of timely access to expert services /opinion/tumor boards - Access to treatment plan once established with expert (lack of common EMR) - Lack of resources to help stay current if you don’t see many NET patients ACCESS - Patients retained in the NET centers and therefore not developing challenges experience - Limited experience during training Oncologists at NET specialty center - Once they see an expert, patient rejects return to local health care provider and therefore patient volumes in the clinics.

  37. Qs 26 to 30: Qualitative Themes - Too much time spent in coordination /collaborating with NET specialty centers and the onus falls on the local provider - Discussion at provincial tumour boards gives you more questions than answers Suggestions COORDINATION - Streamlined process required that tells you: when to seek challenges advice, who to seek it from, what avenue to use (email, telehealth, accessible tumor boards) - Maintaining and distributing list of providers interested/experts in NET - Educating providers outside NET centers

  38. Qs 26 to 30: Qualitative Themes Asked about current challenges faced by patients and suggestions for improvement - Wait times to see a NET expert - Wait times for nuclear imaging and treatment Challenges - Redundant imaging /investigations faced by patients - Frustration due to lack of communication between centers - Travel distances and financial toxicity involved in seeing a NET expert - Lack of access to Gallium scan PRRT - Limited access to PRRT - Lack of clarity/comfort with PRRT as a treatment option

  39. Summary • Medical oncologists outside NET specialty centers are involved in the care of NET patients, but not necessarily comfortable/experienced . • Key barriers to the management of NET patients include, limited access to nuclear imaging, lack of access to NET specific tumor boards, lack of experience with NET patient management . • PRRT is an area where more education is required, as to how it fits into the NET treatment algorithm (particularly in ON, Canada). • Lack of a streamlined process for coordination amongst providers, limited access to experts /imaging , wait times and travel times for the patients are current foreseen barriers to the successful implementation of a shared care model.

  40. Next Steps • Review the current data more closely. • Expanding the survey to surgeons/endocrinologists involved • Work on educating the HCP outside the NET centers. • Work on improving the tumor board access/ communication between the NET and non NET specialty centers. • Using the recurring themes and to come up with a ? pilot project (shared care model) to streamline the transition of care between the NET specialty centre and the referring provider in the community

  41. Pituitary Dysfunction after PRRT Marianne Elston Richard Carroll Amanda Love David Wyld David Pattison Dale Bailey David Ransom

  42. Hypotheses • That the pituitary receives a clinically significant dose of radiation during PRRT • That patients who receive PRRT for unresectable NET have higher rate hypopituitarism at 5+ years after therapy than those who have not received PRRT • That the pattern of hypopituitarism differs from external beam RT with higher rate 2 ° hypothyroidism

  43. Background • Normal tissues may express SSTRs – Pituitary expresses SSTR1, 2a, 5 & poss. 3 – Pituitary SSTR subtype varies by pituitary cell type • Highest SSTR2 – thyrotrophs, somatotrophs Panetta Life Sci 1995; Miller JCEM 1995, O’Carroll 1995; Day 1995 • Limited data on PRRT & pituitary effects – Two studies – up to 24/12, N=79 • Decr FSH/LH levels 21 postmenopausal females c.f. baseline • Transient reduction spermatogenesis 35 males Teunissen 2009; Kwekkeboom 2005

  44. Background 2 • Hypopituitarism 2 ° external beam RT well known • Hypopituitarism – Associated with impaired QoL & premature mortality Darzy 2013; Tomlinson 2001 – Onset may be insidious, not recognised or diagnosed late – Risk increases with time – Extent & time of onset is dose-dependent • <30Gy isolated GH deficiency • >60Gy 30-60% gonadotrophin, ACTH & TSH def. after 10 years – Treatment is readily available

  45. Aim • To assess the prevalence of hypopituitarism in patients >5 years after PRRT therapy compared to patients with unresectable NET who have not received PRRT

  46. Methods • Measurement basal pituitary hormone profile • Hypopituitarism = loss >1 axes • Effect size unknown – convenience sample 50 each group

  47. Progress to Date • NZ – Multicentre ethics obtained (17/STH/23) – Locality assessment obtained – Waikato/Wellington • Patient recruitment started • Australia – QLD • Ethics obtained Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital – WA • Ethics submitted

  48. Issues • Not using a central lab – Cost, logistically more difficult • No baseline sample available – Would take minimum 5 years to complete • Effects of disease process itself on pituitary & treatment effects – E.g. sick euthyroid syndrome; LAR effects • Trying to mitigate by including controls • Ability to recruit adequate numbers 5 years after PRRT • Time interval may still be too short

  68. Lessons Quality is difficult to measure! – Important but not measurable – Important but reflect historic practice – Variability might indicate an area of need (or a bad indicator) – Some measures reflect multiple practices – Some measures are only relevant to subtypes of NETs – The definition of subtypes can be stable or unstable – Determining subtypes means more data to collect

  69. Primary Objective Develop a starting list of ~40 potential quality performance indicators for NET diagnosis and treatment services (in New Zealand, Australia and Canada) that can enter further assessment in a modified Delphi consensus Secondary Objectives Strengthen links and share perspectives between patients, pharmacists, nurses, specialties and countries by working together Contribute to research with a high chance of leading to real world change that improves patient outcomes
