Online Survey |
One-to-one interviews |
- Patient preferences of treatment administration setting (homecare or hospital) [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Survey responses of patient experience of injections at home and compared to responses of patient experience of injections when given in hospital
- Demographic characteristics of enrolled patients with GEP-NETs [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Age (years); Gender (male, female); Current employment status: full time, part time, unemployed, retired, student, homemaker, unpaid carer)
- Clinical characteristics of enrolled patients with GEP-NETs [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Disease duration; Duration of homecare administration of lanreotide; Duration of hospital administration of lanreotide
- Patient-reported impact on healthcare resource use [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.
- Patient-reported impact on wider societal costs [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.
- Patient-reported work productivity [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Assessed using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: General Health (WPAI:GH) and bespoke questionaire
- Description of patient-reported HRQoL [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Assessed using bespoke questionnaire a patient-reported opinion on how homecare administration compares to hospital administration (i.e. much worse / somewhat worse / about the same / somewhat better / much better) for the number of administration setting related aspects described in the protocol, as well as choosing the most applicable answer(s) where applicable.)
- Description of patient experience of taking lanreotide in the hospital and homecare settings and reported benefits/limitations of each setting; [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Assessed using qualitative interviews which will be conducted over the telephone by an experienced qualitative interviewer.

The interviews will be primarily guided by the questions in the discussion guide; however, participants will be free to direct the conversation to topics they feel are relevant to their experience.
