NCT00343382 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Pilocarpine in Treating Vaginal Dryness in Patients With Breast Cancer

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

primary · POSTED

Vaginal dryness was measured by the numerical analogue scale at baseline and through the six weeks of treatment. The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The average AUC values were calculated by dividing 6 from AUC values for participants who completed item on all 6 weeks. If a participant completed the item at baseline, week 1, 2 and 3 but did not complete the item at week 4 to week 6, the AUC values of the item was prorated, which is (((AUC values \* 6) / 3) / 6). The average pro-rated AUC for vaginal dryness scores was compared in each of the Pilocarpine arms against the collective placebo arm.

Includes all participants that reported a baseline value and at least one value after baseline (i.e. week 3, 4, 5 or 6).

secondary · POSTED

The impact of vaginal dryness for activities of daily living (ADL) were measured by the numerical analogue scales at baseline and through the six weeks of treatment. The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The average AUC values were calculated by dividing 6 from AUC values for participants who completed item on all 6 weeks. If a participant completed the item at baseline, week 1, 2 and 3 but did not complete the item at week 4 to week 6, the AUC values of the item was prorated, which is (((AUC values \* 6) / 3) / 6). The average pro-rated AUC scores was compared in each of the Pilocarpine arms against the collective placebo arm.

The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The change from baseline scores was calculated by subtracting the baseline item scores from the scores at 6 week.

Includes all participants who completed both baseline and week 6 assessments.

    Average Vaginal Dryness Scores Via Area Under the Curve (AUC) Summary Statistics
    measure definition
    Vaginal dryness was measured by the numerical analogue scale at baseline and through the six weeks of treatment. The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The average AUC values were calculated by dividing 6 from AUC values for participants who completed item on all 6 weeks. If a participant completed the item at baseline, week 1, 2 and 3 but did not complete the item at week 4 to week 6, the AUC values of the item was prorated, which is (((AUC values \* 6) / 3) / 6). The average pro-rated AUC for vaginal dryness scores was compared in each of the Pilocarpine arms against the collective placebo arm.

    Average AUC Summary Statistics for the Impact of Vaginal Dryness for Activities of Daily Living
    measure definition
    The impact of vaginal dryness for activities of daily living (ADL) were measured by the numerical analogue scales at baseline and through the six weeks of treatment. The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The average AUC values were calculated by dividing 6 from AUC values for participants who completed item on all 6 weeks.

    Change From Baseline to Week 6 on the Impact of Vaginal Dryness for Activities of Daily Living Scores
    measure definition
    The impact of vaginal dryness for activities of daily living (ADL) were measured by the numerical analogue scales at baseline and through the six weeks of treatment. The item scores was transformed into 0 to 100 scales with 0=poor quality of life (QOL) and 100=best possible QOL. The change from baseline scores was calculated by subtracting the baseline item scores from the scores at 6 week.
