Clinical signs were recorded from a physical examination performed at the time of initial diagnosis
Clinical signs were recorded from a physical examination performed at the time of first presumed relapse (ie, start of cyclophosphamide treatment)
Clinical signs were recorded at various time points throughout cyclophosphamide therapy at the discretion of the specific overseeing clinician
The comparator for weight loss was the weight noted at the previous time point. For the initial diagnosis, the comparator was from a previous weight that was not necessarily dated. At first presumed relapse (the start of cyclophosphamide therapy), the comparator weight was from initial diagnosis. During cyclophosphamide therapy, the baseline weight was from the start of cyclophosphamide therapy and was compared with the lowest documented weight during cyclophosphamide therapy
In three of these cats, weight gain was also noted during cyclophosphamide therapy
