For drugs reimbursed with limited evidence of patient benefits, confirmatory evidence of overall survival (OS) and quality of life (QoL) benefits is important. For QoL data to serve as valuable input to patients and decisionmakers, it must be measured and analyzed using appropriate methods. We aimed to assess the measurement and analyses of post-reimbursement QoL data for cancer drugs introduced in Swedish healthcare with limited evidence at the time of reimbursement.

Radiobiological daily changes within tumors are considered to be quite different between stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) (e.g., 50Gy in 4 fractions) and conventional radiotherapy (e.g., 60Gy in 30 fractions). We aim to assess the optimal interval of irradiation in SRT and compare outcomes of daily irradiation with irradiation at two- to three-day intervals in SRT for patients with one to five brain metastases (BM).

Ripretinib is a novel switch-control kinase inhibitor that inhibits KIT and PDGFRA signaling. In the INVIC‑ TUS phase 3 trial, ripretinib increased median progression-free survival and prolonged overall survival vs. placebo in ≥fourth-line advanced GIST. Here, we report prespecified analysis of quality of life (QoL) as assessed by patientreported outcome (PRO) measures and an exploratory analysis evaluating the impact of alopecia on QoL.
