Change From Baseline in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

A Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Luspatercept (ACE-536) Versus Epoetin Alfa for the Treatment of Anemia Due to IPSS-R Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Participants Who Require Red Blood Cell Transfusions and Are ESA Naïve · Source last updated 2024-11-20

What was measured

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of 30 items that includes a global health status score ranging from: 1-7 as well as scores for 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain) and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties) all ranging from 1-4. Subscale scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale. A high score for a functional scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning; a high score for the global health status/health related quality of life (HRQoL) represents a high overall HRQoL; but a high score for a symptom scale represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. Baseline is defined as the last value on or before the first dose of study drug.

Analysis population: All randomized participants who completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 assessment at baseline and post-baseline assessment at the respective visit.

Groups in this outcome

Luspatercept

Starting dose of 1.0 mg/kg subcutaneous injection every 3 weeks (21 days; Q3W). Dose levels can be increased in a stepwise manner beyond the starting dose to 1.33 mg/kg, and up to a maximum of 1.75 mg/kg.

Epoetin Alfa

Starting dose of 450 IU/kg (maximum total starting dose is 40,000 IU) subcutaneous injection once every week (7 days; QW). Dose levels can be increased in a stepwise manner beyond the starting dose to 787.5 IU/kg, and up to a maximum of 1,050 IU/kg (with a maximum total dose of 80,000 IU).

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
