Overview
Retention rate of acalabrutinib in a non-interventional setting. This is a prospective, multicentre, non-interventional study to collect real-world data on retention rates of CLL patients prescribed with acalabrutinib in Germany.
Description
This observational study will prospectively assess acalabrutinib therapy retention of CLL patients one year and 2 years after treatment initiation with acalabrutinib in routine clinical practice. Furthermore, therapy adherence, treatment efficacy, overall survival, and QoL to analyse the possible influence of psychological aspects of the patient-based disease perception, a four-group-segmentation for acceptance and perceived control of the health state will be conducted. Finally, disease-, treatment-, and patient-specific factors possibly affecting therapy retention will be analysed: sociodemographic factors, disease and treatment characteristics, comorbidities, therapy adherence, treatment effectiveness, safety, QoL, and psychological segmentation.
