EORTC QLQ-C30, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30-item module; PRO, patient-reported outcome; TPC, treatment of physician’s choice.

Note that 19 assessments are included whereby the questionnaire was administered to a caregiver, relative, or unspecified person, rather than directly to the patient.

a

Compliance rate for each treatment arm was defined as (number of evaluable questionnaires [defined as a questionnaire with enough responses to score at least one scale/domain])/(number of patients expected to complete questionnaires at each visit [ie patients still under PRO follow-up]) × 100%.

b

Completion rate for each treatment arm was defined as (number of received questionnaires)/(PRO analysis population) × 100%.

c

For overall, patients were counted as received/evaluable if they had a received/evaluable baseline and at least one received/evaluable post-baseline form.
