Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage II Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Stage III Small-cell Lung Cancer Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage I | Other: data collection |
Thorough knowledge of the treatment reality, e.g. characteristics, diagnostic, treatment and outcome of unselected patients in real-life practice, is crucial to evaluate and improve the quality of care for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
The purpose of CRISP is to set up a national clinical research platform to document uniform data on the molecular testing, treatment, course of disease in patients with NSCLC or SCLC. A particular focus is on molecular biomarker testing before the start of first-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The data shall be used to assess the current state of care and to develop recommendations concerning topics that could be improved.
PRO assessment will provide large-scale data on quality of life and anxiety/depression for real-life patients with NSCLC or SCLC in routine practice. In addition, two questionnaires (concerning individual quality of life and patient-caregiver communication) will be validated in German patients with metastatic NSCLC.
Furthermore, CRISP will set up a decentralized clinically annotated tissue repository for future collaborative, investigational scientific biomarker testing.
