Patient Journey And Quality Of Life (Qol) Among Diffuse-Type Tgct In The Us

e23565 Background: Diffuse Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (d-TGCT) is a rare, locally aggressive neoplasm of joint and tendon sheath synovia, which may severely affect patients (pts) QOL due to pain, limited joint function and destruction of bone and local tissues. This study analyzes real-world data to describe d-TGCT pt journey and QOL in the US. Methods: The TGCT Observational Platform Project (TOPP), the first non-interventional prospective disease registry, enrolled d-TGCT pts at 10 Western European (EU) and 2 US sarcoma centers from Nov 2016 to Mar 2019, with prospective follow-up of 24 mo. Pts demographics, disease history and ongoing medical treatment and pt-reported outcomes (PROs) (pain, stiffness, PROMIS Physical Function [PF] and EQ-5D) were collected at baseline and every 6 mo during follow-up periods. Descriptive analyses from baseline compared US pts with Western EU pts (Table). Results: Of 166 d-TGCT pts, 30 were enrolled in the US. Mean age was 40.6 ± 12.82 y, with 63.3% female and 66.7% with tumor in knee. Median time from first symptom to diagnosis was 12 mo (range; 0–153). 28 pts (93.3%) had surgery, 4 pts (13.3%) had tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), no pts had radiotherapy. 18 pts (60%) experienced >1 locoregional recurrence. Median Pain Severity Score (PSS) and Pain Interference Score (PIS) were 2.8 and 3.0, respectively. Median PROMIS PF Score was 39.8. Mean EQ-5D index score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were 0.73 ±0.229 and 75.5 ±13.31, respectively. Compared with Western EU pts, US pts reported similar PROs and QOL, were younger, had shorter delay in diagnosis, and lower use of systemic therapy or radiotherapy (Table). Conclusions: d-TGCT affects a relatively young population in the US, similar to Western EU, resulting in serious impairment in daily activities and QOL. Shorter diagnostic delay and less frequent use of non–surgical approach was observed in the US. [Table: see text]
