What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycle 1
Time Frame: Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)
Severe neutropenia was defined as Grade 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <0.5 x 10^9/liter [L]). The duration of severe neutropenia was calculated by cycle as the number of days from the first day in which the ANC fell below 0.5 x 10^9/L after beginning a chemotherapy cycle until the participant had an ANC ≥0.5 x 10^9/L within the cycle.
Cycle 1 (cycle length = 21 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Febrile Neutropenia
Time Frame: Cycles 1 to 4 (each cycle length = 21 days)
Febrile neutropenia was defined as an imputed or observed ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L and oral temperature ≥38.2 degrees celsius (°C) occurring on the same day. Number of participants with febrile neutropenia over all cycles (Cycles 1 to 4) has been reported.
Cycles 1 to 4 (each cycle length = 21 days)
Duration of Severe Neutropenia in Cycles 2, 3, and 4
Time Frame: Cycles 2, 3, and 4 (each cycle length = 21 days)
Severe neutropenia was defined as Grade 4 neutropenia (ANC <0.5 x 10^9/L). The duration of severe neutropenia was calculated by cycle as the number of days from the first day in which the ANC fell below 0.5 x 10^9/L after beginning a chemotherapy cycle until the participant had an ANC ≥0.5 x 10^9/L within the cycle.
Cycles 2, 3, and 4 (each cycle length = 21 days)
Time to Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) Recovery in Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4
Time Frame: Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4
Time to ANC recovery was defined as the time from the nadir ANC to an ANC ≥1.5 x 10^9/L and was calculated for participants with ANC <1.5 x 10^9/L after the beginning of a chemotherapy cycle. Time to ANC recovery was calculated by cycle as the number of days from the nadir (the lowest ANC during a chemotherapy cycle) until a participant reached an ANC >1.5 x 10^9/L.
Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
