Health Related Quality of Life Sample Clauses

Health Related Quality of Life. (HRQoL) The EORTC QLQ-C30 + BR-23 questionnaires will be used to identify and analyse global health status/ quality of life and disease-related symptoms according to EORTC scoring manual. EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item generic instrument designed specifically to assess quality of life (QoL). The structure of questionnaire is defined as: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social) 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea/vomiting) A global health scale (Global health status/QoL) 5 single items assessing common physical symptoms of cancer (dyspnoea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhoea) A single item assessing the financial effect of cancer. The raw scores for each of the 30 items of the QLQC-30 will be converted into scores for each of the 15 domains on a scale from 0 to 100. The scoring algorithm for the QLQC-30 (from the EORTC scoring manual for QLQC-30) will be used to generate the domain scores. In case of Functioning and Global QoL scales, higher scores indicate better function whereas for symptomatic scales higher scores indicate worse symptoms. The BR-23 breast cancer–specific questionnaire includes 23 questions to assess function (body image, sexuality, and future perspective) and symptoms (Systemic therapy side effects, Breast symptoms, Arm symptoms, Upset by hair loss) specific to breast cancer. Seven domain scores will be derived on a 0 to 100 scale as per the EORTC manual. The compliance rate and evaluability rate will be calculated at baseline and each subsequent assessment for each of the HRQoL and disease related symptoms scores. The compliance rate and evaluability rate will be calculated as – Compliance Rate = (The number of evaluable forms/ the number of expected forms) x 100. Evaluability Rate = (The number of evaluable forms / the number of received forms) x 100. Only patients who have a baseline score will have their scores included in any analysis. The pre-dose of day-1 of Cycle 1 is defined as baseline for both EORTC + BR23 questionnaires. • HRQoL measurement prior to dosing with study treatment (AZD5363/placebo and Paclitaxel) will be considered as baseline values. For each of the HRQoL and disease-related symptoms scores, a change in score from baseline of at least 10 points can be considered as a clinically relevant or a minimally important difference. A visit response will be calculated for each subscale as detailed in Table 5. Table 5 Visit Response Score Change from baseline Visit Res...
