The objective of this non-interventional study (NIS) is to evaluate prevalence of ESR1 mutation after endocrine therapy in the palliative setting, quality of life, tolerability, and safety and to describe treatment detail and adverse event (AE) management in postmenopausal women with locally advanced and/or metastatic ER+ HER2- ESR1-mutated breast cancer and second line treatment with elacestrant according to SmPC (Summary of product characteristics) in a real-world setting.

Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematologic malignancy in adults and despite the new therapies that have been developed in the last decades it remains incurable. Over the course of the disease, patients eventually become refractory to the various treatments. Therefore, new therapeutic options which utilize new mechanisms of action are essential. Melphalan flufenamide (melflufen) represents such an additional therapeutic approach. Melflufen is a peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) which is highly lipophilic and rapidly incorporated into the tumor cells. Once inside the tumor cell, melflufen is hydrolyzed by peptidases, including aminopeptidases and esterases, to release its alkylator payload. The alkylating agent then induces DNA damage resulting in cell death. Melphalan flufenamid in combination with Dexamethason was approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in August 2022 for the treatment of patients with triple class refractory relapsed/refractory Multiple Myeloma who have received at least 3 prior lines of therapy. For patients with prior autologous stem cell transplantation, the time to progression should be at least 3 years from transplantation. The non-interventional study MARINA aims to address open scientific questions regarding the effectiveness, as well as therapy and safety management of melflufen in a real-world setting. By collecting comprehensive real-world data - including the Disease Control Rate (DCR) as a key endpoint, which is of most value for patients in this late disease stage - MARINA will investigate the therapeutic benefit of melflufen in routine clinical practice.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and aggressive tumor of the bile duct associated with a poor prognosis and very limited treatment options. The IDH1 inhibitor ivosidenib provides a new, targeted treatment option for this disease. Ivosidenib was approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA) in May 2023 as monotherapy in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with an IDH1 R132 mutation who were previously treated by at least one prior line of systemic therapy. The prospective, multicenter, observational study IDHIRA will collect first real-world data on ivosidenib treatment in a broad patient population in Germany. Ivosidenib will be administered according to the current SmPC. Thus, IDHIRA will generate real-world evidence on effectiveness, quality of life (QoL) and safety of ivosidenib.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study, a tumor research platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease and to collect patient-reported outcomes for patients with primary and secondary myelofibrosis and anemia in Germany.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with associated satellites, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) or Cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) in Germany.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with associated satellites, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with breast cancer in Germany.

FRUQUENT is an observational study in Germany. The goal of the study is to evaluate how well Fruquintinib works to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that have previously been treated with available standard therapies. To this end, it will be analyzed how well patients respond to the therapy in the clinical routine. Further points of interest to the study are survival data, safety data, the use of medical care facilities, and the quality of life of patients treated with Fruquintinib. Participants will be treated as decided by the treating physician and according to their routine practice. FRUQUENT is accompanied by a translational research project combining real-world clinical data with foundational research to stratify patient collectives in regards to the therapeutic benefit of fruquintinib.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter registry platform to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with hematological malignancies in Germany.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer (OC) or advanced or metastatic endometrial cancer (EC) in Germany.

The registry aims to collect and analyse information on the antineoplastic treatment of patients with metastatic esophageal, gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer, treated in palliative intention in daily routine practice in Germany.

The purpose of the project is to set up a national, prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with associated satellites, a tumor registry platform, to document uniform data on characteristics, molecular diagnostics, treatment and course of disease, to collect patient-reported outcomes and to establish a decentralized biobank for patients with Multiple Myeloma in Germany.

The primary objective of this non interventional study is to evaluate symptom burden in adult patients with PV without symptomatic splenomegaly during treatment with ropeginterferon alfa-2b in a real-world setting. Further patient-relevant endpoints include effectiveness including complete hematologic response (CHR), event-free survival (EFS), safety and tolerability, treatment reality including dosing details as well as factors affecting treatment decision making.

The goal of this prospective, observational study VIOLETA is to collect real-world data on vorasidenib treatment in a broad patient population. Though vorasidenib can be administered from 12 years old, VIOLETA focuses on adult patients with IDH1- or IDH2-mutant WHO grade 2 glioma who receive vorasidenib following surgery according to the current SmPC. Thus, VIOLETA will evaluate for the first-time treatment with vorasidenib in German clinical routine. To gain knowledge about how vorasidenib treatment affects patients' well-being, the primary objective of the study is to assess patients' quality of life. Further patient-relevant endpoints addressed by this study will include seizure burden, PFS, Objective Response Rate (ORR), TTNI, safety as well as factors affecting treatment decision making.
