Impact of Hospital Pharmacist on Drug Management in Patients With Bronchopulmonary Cancer

Currently, several treatments can be used for bronchopulmonary cancers: targeted oral therapy (OCT), oral chemotherapy, iv chemotherapy, iv immunotherapy. These therapies are rather unknown to community pharmacy and induce several adverse effects and drug interactions. These treatments require collaboration between different professionals (community and hospital pharmacists) in order to allow follow up and security in patient supportive care.

In our context of shortage of care staff, with a polymedicated and elderly population, we would like to assess the impact of hospital pharmacist in the drug management for patient with bronchopulmonary cancers treated by these therapies.

Other French studies (Lille, Angers, Tours) involving hospital pharmacists were carried out and aimed to evaluate the number of pharmaceutical interventions carried out without assessing the impact on the patient. In addition, no study concerns the Center Val de Loire region.

The aim of the study is to impact of hospital pharmacist (interview) on the number of unscheduled consultations/hospitalizations.

This is a prospective, non-interventional study to evaluate impact of hospital pharmacist on drug management in patients with bronchopulmonary cancer. Participants will be included after being informed and after obtaining no opposition to participate. Data collection sheet will be performed by hospital pharmacist at inclusion. Participants will be treated according to standard of care for cancer treatment. An interview will be performed 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after inclusion between hospital pharmacist and participant to obtain information's on cancer treatments (questionnaires). These interviews will be performed by phone or when the patient comes to the hospital for a follow-up consultation as part of the treatment of his cancer (standard of care).

A total of 60 participants will be included in this study based on 1) the number of patients received a novel cancer treatment in the center during 12 months and 2) considered eligibility criteria, pharmacist availability and patients consent.
