BMI: body mass index; BSA: body surface area; CI: confidence interval; ECOG PS: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; N: number of patients; OR: odds ratio; * All logistic regression models were adjusted for any between-study differences in diarrhea incidence. Limited to subset of studies (LUX-Lung 1, 2, and 3) that have within-study race differences.
