Oncology Indication Study 2 Questionnaire

[Screener and consent to be inserted]

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this study today. We are going to show you a television ad for a prescription drug that treats a kind of cancer and then ask you some questions about it.

The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. We ask you to complete the survey in one sitting (without taking any breaks) to avoid distractions. Your input is extremely valuable.


[Display appropriate questionnaire and stimuli based on study: non-small cell lung cancer or multiple myeloma conditions]

//NEW SCREEN//

[Non-small cell lung cancer conditions]

We’d like to start by telling you a bit about a kind of cancer. It’s called non-small cell lung cancer. 

Lung cancer starts when cells of the lung become abnormal and begin to grow out of control. 

As more cancer cells develop, they can form into a tumor and spread to other areas of the body.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. 

There are 2 main types of lung cancer:

•	About 80% to 85% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer.
•	About 10% to 15% are small cell lung cancer

[Multiple myeloma conditions]

We’d like to start by telling you a bit about a kind of cancer. It’s called multiple myeloma. 

Cancer starts when cells begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer, and can spread to other areas.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells. Normal plasma cells are found in the bone marrow and are an important part of the immune system. 

In general, when plasma cells become cancerous and grow out of control, this is called multiple myeloma. It can lead to complications such as low red blood cells (anemia), more frequent infections, kidney damage, and bone pain/fractures. 

While some patients may not have symptoms of multiple myeloma, for other patients the symptoms of the disease can be severe and can lead to death.
