Comparison of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score in Cycle 1. Primary · Baseline, up to 30 days

Mean Overall, Physical, Emotional, and Fatigue Quality of Life (QOL) scores were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) in control and intervention arms at Cycle 1. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions that incorporates 9 multi-item scales: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); 9 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties); and a global health and quali

Comparison of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Scores Between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Primary · Baseline and until day 30 (Cycle 1 and Cycle 2)

Overall, Physical, Emotional, and Fatigue Quality of Life (QOL) scores were assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) in the intervention arm both at Cycle 1 and 2. Score difference for each subject and mean differences between scores were calculated. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions that incorporates 9 multi-item scales. Most questions used a 4-point scale (1 =Not at all to 4 =Very much); 2 questions used a 7-point scale (1 =Very poor to 7 =Excellent). A higher score=better le
