Clinical Investigator and Patient Feedback Surveys

Survey Item Respondents, No. (%)
Clinical Investigator Feedbacka
Patient-reported symptomatic toxicities
 Were reviewed at visits 131/143 (91.6)
 Were discussed with patients at visits 110/144 (76.4)
 Are useful for monitoring toxicities 133/141 (94.3)
 Could be a source of research-grade data 120/143 (83.9)
 Were an accurate reflection of patient clinical status 119/143 (83.2)
Impression of relationship between adverse event grade severities reported by patients vs clinicians
 They are generally the same   63/143 (44.1)
 Patients generally grade more severe than clinicians   50/143 (35.0)
 Patients generally grade less severe than clinicians   13/143 (9.1)

 Was useful 230/247 (93.1)
 Improved discussions with mydoctor/nurse 211/247 (85.4)
a

Overall, there were 144 clinical investigator respondents across 37 sites, but not all investigators responded to all questions; therefore, the denominator for each question varies with missing responses subtracted.

b

Overall, there were 252 patient respondents of 285 study participants, but not all patients responded to all questions; therefore, the denominator for each question varies with missing responses subtracted.
