In some cases, guidelines are utilized by health policymakers and insurers in determining coverage and reimbursement policies. Little is known about the global status of guideline development and implementation for the management of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or about the incorporation of novel therapies such as tumor treating fields (TTFields) into these guidelines. Methods: A comprehensive systematic review of published guidelines and consensus statements from national and international bodies such as health ministries and specialty societies, covering North, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region was performed. In addition, key stakeholders were surveyed to identify country-specific guidance and practice patterns, with a specific focus on guideline contemporariness and reference to TTFields. Results: The vast majority of countries worldwide do not have national guidelines for GBM management. Three multinational guidelines were identified, from SNO/EANO, ESMO and Germany-Austria-Switzerland. In addition, 18 national guidelines from 16 countries were identified, with some countries having multiple national guidelines in place (USA, Germany, Brazil). In over half of cases, the national guidelines had not been updated within the past three years. 10/18 national guidelines and 2/3 multinational guidelines mentioned TTFields. A minority of guidelines had an explicit expiry or revision date. Conclusions: An array of consensus guidelines and recommendations have been published to facilitate clinical decision-making in GBM. However, substantive differences exist between these guidelines regarding their contemporariness and revision process. Three years after the publication of a seminal randomized controlled trial (Stupp et al., 2017) attesting to the efficacy of TTFields in newly diagnosed GBM, little over half of published national guidelines mention the therapy, let alone recommend it. While guidelines naturally reflect local clinical, administrative and health-economic concerns, unwarranted variation in the production, quality, content and implementation of guidelines has potential implications for the quality of care. Ideally, guidelines should be updated dynamically when new evidence indicates a need for a substantive change in the guideline based on a priori criteria. An ongoing revision process for guidelines, perhaps with shorter validity periods or a more flexible approach, may facilitate more expedient adoption of novel therapies in clinical practice guidelines and in practice.

Using data from a real-world cohort of metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients (pts), we evaluated how race/ethnicity and other socioeconomic, institutional, and clinical barriers play a role in trial participation. Methods: Adult females with mBC were selected from Flatiron Health EHR-derived de-identified database (2011- 2020). Clinical trial participation was determined by having “clinical study drug” in any line of therapy. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to assess how various barriers impact trial participation. Results: In this cohort of 22,220 mBC pts, 1,131 (5.1%) were enrolled in clinical trials and participation rates vary by line of therapy, race/ethnicity, age, insurance, location, and care setting (Table 1). Comparing pts characteristics between enrolled vs. not enrolled, pts ever enrolled were significantly younger (mean age: 59 vs 63), had better performance status (ECOG PS ≥ 2: 3% vs 8%), and less Brain/CNS metastasis (3% vs 6%), more likely to be white (75% vs 61%), lived in the south (55% vs 38%), and had commercial insurance (34% vs 29%), with all p Conclusions: Preliminary results of this study reveal significant demographic and socioeconomic disparities in trial participation among mBC patients. In particular, AA and Hispanic patients were less likely to participate in clinical trials after controlling for other individual- or system-level factors that may impact enrollment. Future efforts to understand the relationship between racial disparity and other well-known barriers are needed.
