A Study of Xeloda (Capecitabine) as Adjuvant Monotherapy in Patients With Colon Cancer.

The postmarketing safety profile of capecitabine was evaluated by collection of AEs, clinical laboratory data, vital signs, and other findings from physical examination. Abnormalities in these findings were captured as AEs, defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant regardless of the suspected cause. Serious AEs were those which, at any dose, met one or more of the following criteria: resulted in fatality, were life-threatening, necessitated new or prolonged existing hospitalization, produced persistent or significant disability, resulted in congenital anomaly or birth defect, were considered medically significant, or required intervention to prevent any of the aforementioned outcomes. Those specific serious AEs which resulted in fatality were also reported separately. The percentage of participants with an AE, serious AE, or AE resulting in death was calculated as [number of participants with event divided by number analyzed] multiplied by 100.

The postmarketing safety profile of capecitabine was evaluated by collection of AEs, clinical laboratory data, vital signs, and other findings from physical examination. Abnormalities in these findings were captured as AEs, defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant regardless of the suspected cause. The percentage of participants with early withdrawal or treatment discontinuation due to an AE was calculated as [number of participants with event divided by number analyzed] multiplied by 100.
