Available therapies for management of lung cancer falls into two main categories: therapies to reduce or control the spread of disease (including surgery, radiation therapy, conventional chemotherapy, and targeted therapies), and supportive care therapies to improve or manage symptoms of the underlying condition (lung cancer) or the side effects of cancer treatments. FDA is interested in patients’ perspectives for the two main types of lung cancer (small-cell and non-small cell lung cancer) on the importance of disease symptoms, benefits of treatment approaches, and possible cancer treatment side effects. The draft questions that will be asked of patients and patient stakeholders at the meeting are provided in the paragraphs that follow. For each of these topics, a brief initial patient panel discussion will begin the dialogue and will be followed by a facilitated discussion inviting comments from other patient and patient stakeholder participants. In addition to input generated through this public meeting, FDA is interested in receiving patient input addressing these questions through the public docket (see ADDRESSES). Topic 1: Disease Symptoms and Daily Impacts That Matter Most to Patients 1. For context, how long ago was your diagnosis of lung cancer? Is your cancer currently in only one area of the lung or has it spread to other parts of the lung or outside of the lungs? 2. Of all the symptoms that you experience because of your lung cancer, which one to three symptoms have the most significant impact on your daily life? (Examples may include pain, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, voice hoarseness.) 3. Are there specific activities that are important to you but that you cannot do at all, or as fully as you would like, because of lung cancer? (Examples may include sleeping through the night, climbing stairs, household activities.) mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Topic 2: Patients’ Perspectives on Current Approaches To Treating Lung Cancer 1. Are you currently undergoing any cancer treatments to help reduce or control the spread of your lung cancer? Please describe. 1.1 What do you consider to be the most significant downsides of these treatments? (Examples of downsides may include side effects, going to the hospital for treatment, frequent blood tests, etc.) VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:43 Jun 04, 2013 Jkt 229001 1.2 How do these downsides affect your daily life? 2. What supportive care treatments, if any, are you taking to help improve or manage the symptoms you experience because of your lung cancer? Please include any prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and other therapies including non-drug therapies (such as breathing techniques). 2.1 What specific symptoms do your treatments address? 2.2 How well do these treatments manage these symptoms? 2.3 Are there symptoms that your current treatment regimen does not address at all, or does not treat as well as you would like? 3. When thinking about your overall goals for treatment, how do you weigh the importance of prolonging your life versus improving the symptoms you experience because of your lung cancer? 4. What factors do you take into account when making decisions about using treatments to help reduce or control the spread of your lung cancer? In particular: 4.1 What information on the potential benefits of these treatments factors most into your decision? (Examples of potential benefits from treatments may include shrinking the tumor, delaying the growth of the tumor, prolonging life, etc.) 4.2 How do you weigh the potential benefits of these treatments versus the common side effects of the treatments? (Common side effects could include nausea, loss of appetite fatigue, diarrhea, rash.) 4.3 How do you weigh potential benefits of these treatments versus the less common but serious risks associated with the treatments? (Examples of less common but serious risks are developing a hole in the stomach or intestine, liver failure, kidney failure, lung inflammation, blood clot, stroke, heart attack, serious infections, etc.) will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
