Baseline, From Cycle 1 Day 1 up to end of study treatment or crossover to crizotinib arm (up to 35 months)

What was measured

QLQ-LC13 consists of 1 multi-item scale and 9 single items that assess the specific symptoms (dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and site-specific pain), side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, neuropathy, and alopecia), and pain medication use of patients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy. All multi-item scales and single-item measures range from 0 to 100, where higher score indicates greater degree of symptom severity.

Analysis population: The PRO evaluable population included all participants from the FA population who completed a baseline and at least 1 postbaseline PRO assessment prior to crossover to crizotinib or end of randomized study treatment.

Groups in this outcome

Crizotinib

Crizotinib 250 mg capsule, orally twice daily was administered in treatment cycle of 21 days. Participants could continue crizotinib treatment beyond the time of RECIST v1.1 defined PD, as determined by IRR, at the discretion of the investigator if the participant was perceived to be experiencing clinical benefit.

Chemotherapy

Standard doses of chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin or pemetrexed/carboplatin) were administered intravenously on Day 1 of each cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. Pemetrexed 500 mg per meter square (m)\^2 IV infusion according to standard of care was administered over 10 min; either cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2 IV infusion was administered approximately 30 min after the end of the pemetrexed infusion or carboplatin was administered at a dose calculated to produce an AUC of 5 or 6 mg\*min/mL, approximately 30 min after end of pemetrexed infusion.

description
QLQ-LC13 consists of 1 multi-item scale and 9 single items that assess the specific symptoms (dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, and site-specific pain), side effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, neuropathy, and alopecia), and pain medication use of patients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy. All multi-item scales and single-item measures range from 0 to 100, where higher score indicates greater degree of symptom severity.
