Table 2.
Changes in FACT-G scores from baseline to weeks 6, 12, and 24 and the last assessment before death.
| Outcome | Week | Mean change, active group | Mean change, control group | Difference (95% CI) | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FACT-G | 6 | 3.6 | −1.5 | 5.2 (−0.1 to 10.5) | 0.216 |
| 12 | 5.9 | −0.9 | 6.7 (0.2 to 13.3) | 0.172 | |
| 24 | 10.8 | −2.2 | 13 (5.7 to 20.2) | 0.004 | |
| Last | −6.7 | −9.7 | 3 (−4 to 9.9) | 1.000 | |
| HADS A | 6 | −1.3 | −0.5 | −0.9 (−2.1 to 0.4) | 0.728 |
| 12 | −0.7 | −0.9 | 0.2 (−1.1 to 1.5) | 1.000 | |
| 24 | −1.4 | −1.1 | −0.3 (−2.6 to 1.9) | 1.000 | |
| Last | 0.5 | −0.3 | 0.8 (−1.1 to 2.7) | 1.000 | |
| HADS D | 6 | −0.3 | 0.2 | −0.5 (−1.5 to 0.6) | 1.000 |
| 12 | −0.3 | 0.3 | −0.6 (−1.8 to 0.6) | 1.000 | |
| 24 | −0.8 | 0.4 | −1.2 (−2.6 to 0.3) | 0.472 | |
| Last | 2.0 | 0.7 | 1.4 (−0.4 to 3.2) | 0.520 |
FACT-G scores at weeks 6, 12, and 24 and the last assessment before death were compared to baseline and between the two study groups using a paired t test. The Bonferroni correction was used for each outcome to adjust the p values for multiple comparisons, and so the values in this table are already multiplied by four. The last assessment before death was made a median of 4.1 weeks (range 0.4–6.7 weeks) before death.
