What was measured

The EORTC QLQ-30 contains 30 questions that incorporate 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The participant answers questions about their health during the past week. There are 28 questions answered on a 4-point scale where 1 = Not at all (best) and 4 = Very Much (worst) and 2 global health quality of life (QOL) questions answered on a 7-point scale where 1 = Very poor and 7 = Excellent. Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. Lower scores in symptom scales indicate better quality of life.

Analysis population: Participants in the ITT Analysis Set who completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 at Baseline

Groups in this outcome

Zanubrutinib

Participants received 160 mg zanubrutinib orally twice daily until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, initiation of alternative anticancer therapy, investigator/Sponsor decision, need for prohibited medication, study withdrawal, or pregnancy.

Ibrutinib

Participants received ibrutinib 420 mg orally once daily until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, initiation of alternative anticancer therapy, investigator/Sponsor decision, need for prohibited medication, study withdrawal, or pregnancy.

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

Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. Lower scores in symptom scales indicate better quality of life.
