Changes in scores of patient-reported outcomes as measured by FACIT-Fatigue from Baseline to Day 182	The FACIT-F is a 13-item, self-reported PRO measure assessing an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past week. This questionnaire is part of the FACIT measurement system, a compilation of questions measuring health-related QoL in patients with cancer and other chronic illnesses. The FACIT-fatigue assesses the level of fatigue using a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue	182 days
Changes in scores of patient-reported outcomes as measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC]- Quality of life questionnaire-core 30 (QLQ-30)	EORTC QLQ-C30 is a self-reported, 30-item generic questionnaire developed to assess 15 domains: global health status scale, five functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning) and nine symptom scales (fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties). All the scales range from 0 to 100. A high score on the functional scales represents a high level of functioning, and a high score on the symptom scales represents a high level of symptomatology	182 days
