    Abstract Purpose: Te Aho o Te Kahu, the New Zealand Cancer Control Agency, is establishing a systemic anticancer therapy (SACT) database (Anti-Cancer Therapy-Nationally Organized Workstream [ACT-NOW]) which can be linked to other national health data collections. In this article, we explore the application of ACT-NOW data in the monitoring of uptake and outcomes after the public funding of pemetrexed in Aotearoa New Zealand.
    Methods: We used the ACT-NOW collection to identify patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer, who were treated with first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy over an 8-year period. Data were extracted for a period of 4 years before and 4 years after the national funding of pemetrexed (November 1, 2017). Treatments were classified as historical platinum doublet (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, or docetaxel) or platinum pemetrexed doublet (cisplatin or carboplatin with pemetrexed). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients receiving each treatment type, before and after November 1, 2017. To prototype linkage to outcomes data, we evaluated hospitalization and 1-year overall survival (OS) rates by treatment.
    Results: A total of 331 patients were included from four cancer centers. All patients (116 of 116) who were treated with first-line platinum-based doublet chemotherapy between November 2013 and November 2017 received historical platinum doublet chemotherapy. After the introduction of pemetrexed, between November 2017 and November 2021, 94% (203 of 215) were treated with platinum pemetrexed doublet chemotherapy and 6% (12 of 215) with historical platinum doublet chemotherapy. Linkage to outcomes data for 1-year OS, hospitalization rates, and lengths of stay outcome data were achievable.
    Conclusion: The ACT-NOW data set has the potential to facilitate evaluation of the impact of national-level SACT funding decisions on prescribing practice and specific patient outcomes. Our results support the use of these data to inform resource planning and quality improvement.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted cancer services globally. New Zealand has pursued an elimination strategy to COVID-19, reducing (but not eliminating) this disruption. Early in the pandemic, our national Cancer Control Agency (
    Methods: Data were sourced (2018-2020) from national collections, including cancer registrations, inpatient hospitalisations and outpatient events. Cancer registrations, diagnostic testing (gastrointestinal endoscopy), surgery (colorectal, lung and prostate surgeries), medical oncology access (first specialist appointments [FSAs] and intravenous chemotherapy attendances) and radiation oncology access (FSAs and megavoltage attendances) were extracted. Descriptive analyses of count data were performed, stratified by ethnicity (Indigenous Māori, Pacific Island, non-Māori/non-Pacific).
    Findings: Compared to 2018-2019, there was a 40% decline in cancer registrations during New Zealand's national shutdown in March-April 2020, increasing back to pre-shutdown levels over subsequent months. While there was a sharp decline in endoscopies, pre-shutdown volumes were achieved again by August. The impact on cancer surgery and medical oncology has been minimal, but there has been an 8% year-to-date decrease in radiation therapy attendances. With the exception of lung cancer, there is no evidence that existing inequities in service access between ethnic groups have been exacerbated by COVID-19.
    Interpretation: The impact of COVID-19 on cancer care in New Zealand has been largely mitigated. The New Zealand experience may provide other agencies or organisations with a sense of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer services within a country that has actively pursued elimination of COVID-19.
    Funding: Data were provided by New Zealand's Ministry of Health, and analyses completed by Te Aho o Te Kahu staff.
