1. Study identification
EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS38096
Official titlePatient and Prescriber Survey: Effectiveness measures to investigate awareness, knowledge and adherence to the Risk Minimisation Measures (RMMs) of the Pregnancy Prevention Program (PPP) for Oral Retinoids (Acitretin, Alitretinoin, and Isotretinoin)
Study title acronym
Study typeOther: Survey
Brief description of the studyThis survey aims to assess the effectiveness of the updated risk minimisation measures (RMMs) among female oral retinoid patients who are of childbearing potential and their prescribers and to assess patients’ and prescribers’ (HCPs’) awareness and knowledge of and adherence to the pregnancy prevention programme (PPP). Primary objective: to assess the effectiveness of the PPP based on pre-defined success thresholds for PPP awareness, knowledge, and adherence in HCPs and patients. Secondary objectives: (1) to assess HCPs’ and patients’ awareness of the updated PPP (2) to assess HCPs’ and patients’ knowledge of the risks and RMMs associated with the use of oral retinoids (3) to assess whether HCPs and patients adhere to the RMMs of the updated PPP

9. Number of subjects
Estimated total number of subjects600
Additional information
A sample size of 450 completed HCP questionnaires and 150 completed questionnaires from patients who have been prescribed with oral retinoids according to the local label. Additionally, a sample boosting will happen after reaching the target size of the original sample of 450 HCPs and 150 patients. It will aim to include a total of 75 additional HCPs and 70 additional patients for alitretinoin.
10. Source of data
Is this study being carried out with an established data source?No
Sources of data
The recruitment of HCPs will be conducted using the OneKey database, which provides the lists and contact details of healthcare providers. Patients will be recruited by HCPs from OneKey.

15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
Results will be presented, overall and at country level stratified by HCP speciality and per molecule. Continuous variables will be described by the number of valid cases and missing data, mean, standard deviation, median, first quantile (Q1), third quantile (Q3), minimum, and maximum. Categorical variables will be described as the total number and relative percentage per category. Confidence intervals (CIs) of 95% will be calculated when relevant. Individual awareness, knowledge and adherence scores will be calculated as the percentage of correctly answered survey questions. Overall domain level scores will be calculated as the mean of individual scores. Calculations will first be performed on raw data, which will be stratified by speciality for the HCP survey, and weighted according to the real proportion of targeted responders for both the HCP and patient surveys per country to accurately reflect the population the survey seeks to measure.
