Registered outcomes6
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Mean Change From Baseline in Body Weight Over 12 Weeks | Mean change from baseline over 12 weeks. | This co-primary efficacy endpoint was mean change from baseline in body weight (kg) over 12 weeks in the anamorelin HCl group versus placebo group. Mean change was computed as sum of the changes from baseline over 12 weeks by the time of the last assessment (either week 12 or before in case of death), and then divided by the number of assessments (observed or imputed) from baseline up to the time of the last assessment. |
| Primary | Mean Change From Baseline in 5-item Anorexia Symptom Subscale (5-IASS) Over 12 Weeks | Mean change from baseline over 12 weeks. | This co-primary efficacy endpoint was mean change from baseline in 5-IASS (points) over 12 weeks in the anamorelin HCl group versus placebo group. Mean change was computed as sum of the changes from baseline over 12 weeks by the time of the last assessment (either week 12 or before in case of death), and then divided by the number of assessments (observed or imputed) from baseline up to the time of the last assessment. FAACT-A/CS (Functional Assessment Anorexia Cachexia Therapy) is a 12-item measure of patients' perceptions of anorexia/cachexia symptoms and concerns. From this questionnaire, the 5-item section referring to anorexia symptoms (i.e., "good appetite," "interest in food drops," "food tastes unpleasant," "get full quickly," and "difficulty eating rich/heavy foods") was used to assess 5-IASS. The range of possible scores is 0-20. Higher scores indicate lower levels of symptom burden. |
| Secondary | Duration of Treatment Benefit (Weeks) From Baseline Over 12 Weeks in Body Weight (≥0 kg) | Duration of treatment benefit from baseline over 12 weeks. | The duration of treatment benefit over 12 weeks was measured as the period, or the sum of the periods, over 12 weeks (or less in case of death), in which the patient observed a change from baseline in body weight of ≥0 kg. |
| Secondary | Duration of Treatment Benefit (Weeks) From Baseline Over 12 Weeks in Body Weight (≥1.5 kg) | Duration of treatment benefit from baseline over 12 weeks. | The duration of treatment benefit over 12 weeks was measured as the period, or the sum of the periods, over 12 weeks (or less in case of death), in which the patient observed a change from baseline in body weight of ≥1.5 kg. |
| Secondary | Duration of Treatment Benefit (Weeks) From Baseline Over 12 Weeks in 5-IASS (≥0 Points) | Duration of treatment benefit from baseline over 12 weeks. | The duration of treatment benefit over 12 weeks was measured as the period, or the sum of the periods, over 12 weeks (or less in case of death), in which the patient observed a change from baseline in 5-IASS of ≥0 points. |
| Secondary | Duration of Treatment Benefit (Weeks) From Baseline Over 12 Weeks in 5-IASS (≥3 Points) | Duration of treatment benefit from baseline over 12 weeks. | The duration of treatment benefit over 12 weeks was measured as the period, or the sum of the periods, over 12 weeks (or less in case of death), in which the patient observed a change from baseline in 5-IASS of ≥3 points. |
