Understanding how symptoms impact an individual physically, emotionally as well as in their daily life is critical,” said Susan Thornton, Chief Executive Officer, Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation and one of the study authors.

Key Points: 
  • Understanding how symptoms impact an individual physically, emotionally as well as in their daily life is critical,” said Susan Thornton, Chief Executive Officer, Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation and one of the study authors.
  • Bivariate analysis (t-tests and ANOVA) was used to identify demographic and medical history variables that had a relationship with HRQL.
  • LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression analysis was used to identify factors that may drive poor HRQL.
  • In multivariate analysis, worse HRQL was associated with being younger, female, moderate or severe pruritus and impaired function (as measured by ECOG PS).

PRINCETON, N.J., Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyowa Kirin, Inc., an affiliate of Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Kyowa Kirin, TSE: 4151), a global specialty pharmaceutical company based in Japan, today announced health-related quality of life (HRQL) findings from a post hoc analysis of the MAVORIC trial in patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS), two subtypes of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Researchers analyzed baseline data collected prior to initiation of study treatments and found the symptoms of advanced MF/SS affected HRQL across all domains, with poorer HRQL associated with being younger in age, female, having moderate or severe itching, and impaired function as measured by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS).

Key Points: 
  • Understanding how symptoms impact an individual physically, emotionally as well as in their daily life is critical," said Susan Thornton, Chief Executive Officer, Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation and one of the study authors.
  • Bivariate analysis (t-tests and ANOVA) was used to identify demographic and medical history variables that had a relationship with HRQL.
  • LASSO (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) regression analysis was used to identify factors that may drive poor HRQL.
  • Researchers concluded that assessing a patient's disease concerns may help guide treatment goals and therapeutic choice.

"As the pandemic progressed, virtual visits proved to be a valuable tool to treat our pediatric patients, even those with more complex musculoskeletal conditions.

Key Points: 
  • "As the pandemic progressed, virtual visits proved to be a valuable tool to treat our pediatric patients, even those with more complex musculoskeletal conditions.
  • Our findings demonstrate that clinicians can incorporate both in-person and virtual visits as part of a well-rounded care plan, while maintaining high satisfaction with patients."
  • The team found that the vast majority (85%) of patients expressed high satisfaction with virtual visits and office visits, across all measured parameters.
  • "We were able to demonstrate feasibility and utilization of virtual visits in a larger and more diverse sample of pediatric orthopaedic patients."
