What was measured

The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire composed of five multi-item functional subscales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive , and social functioning), three multi-item symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), a global quality of life (QOL) subscale, and six single item symptom scales assessing other cancer-related symptoms (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and the financial impact of cancer). The questionnaire employs 28 4-point Likert scales with responses from "not at all" to "very much" and two 7-point Likert scales for global health and overall QOL. Responses to all items are then converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional and global QOL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning/QOL. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms. A 10-point or higher change in scores from baseline is considered clinically significant.

Analysis population: The PRO -evaluable population is defined as a subset of ITT participants, who have completed a baseline and at least one post -baseline PRO assessment prior to end of study treatment. Analysis based on repeated measures mixed-effects model with an intercept term, treatment, time, treatment-by-time, and baseline as covariate.

Groups in this outcome

Palbociclib + Fulvestrant

Participants were administered an initial dose of 125 mg per day orally continuously for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off that can be reduced to 100 mg or 75 mg in case of toxicity; repeated at each subsequent cycle and fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on days 1 and 15 of cycle 1 and then every 28 days. Pre- and perimenopausal women received goserelin at least 4 weeks before study treatment start and continued receiving concurrent ovarian function suppression with goserelin administered subcutaneously every 28 days during the active treatment phase. Maximum treatment duration was 105 cycles.

Placebo + Fulvestrant

Participants were administered placebo orally continuously dosed for 3 weeks followed by 1 week off; repeated at each subsequent cycle and Fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of cycle 1 and then every 28 days. Pre- and perimenopausal women received goserelin at least 4 weeks before study treatment start and continued receiving concurrent ovarian function suppression with goserelin administered subcutaneously every 28 days during the active treatment phase. Maximum treatment duration was 93 cycles.

description
The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire composed of five multi-item functional subscales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive , and social functioning), three multi-item symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), a global quality of life (QOL) subscale, and six single item symptom scales assessing other cancer-related symptoms (dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and the financial impact of cancer). The questionnaire employs 28 4-point Likert scales with responses from "not at all" to "very much" and two 7-point Likert scales for global health and overall QOL. Responses to all items are then converted to a 0 to 100 scale. For functional and global QOL scales, higher scores represent a better level of functioning/QOL. For symptom-oriented scales, a higher score represents more severe symptoms. A 10-point or higher change in scores from baseline is considered clinically significant.
