Time frame: Baseline up to 3 and 6 months after disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (up to approximately 25 months)
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated and reliable self-report measure that consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of patient functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), global health/quality of life, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). EORTC QLQ-C30 is scored according to the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001). All EORTC scales and single-item measures are linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional/global health status scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning/HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life); however a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. A ≥10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by patients as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).
