Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.
Primary outcome(s):
Quality of life. Measurement time: at baseline and, at a week after end of treatment. It will measured by:
- EORTC QLQ-C30 (score of every item and global score).
- EORTC EORTC QLQ-STO22 if gastric cancer (score of every item and global score).
- EORTC QLQ-OG25 if is a gastric esophagus union cancer (score of every item and global score).
- Karnofsky index (Score of 0-100 points at intervals of 10).
Key secondary outcomes:
1. Tolerance to Chemotherapy (It will consider the compliance to the Chemotherapy treatment in terms of time and doses plan and, it will classify in “Yes, No”). Measurement time: at each cycle of CT and, 1 week after end of treatment.
2. Nutritional status (Body Max Index calculated by Weight/(Height*Height), the weight expressed in Kg and, the height expressed in meters). Measurement time: At baseline and, 1 week after end of treatment.
3. Adverse Events-AE. Measurement time: In the two weeks prior to the QT, in the evaluation corresponding to each QT cycle and 1 week after the end of the treatment. AE will be measured as:
- Type of AE (Description of the EA that is presented)
- Causal Agent (QT, Oncoxin -Viusid, Other)
- Seriousness of the AE (Serious, Not serious)
- Intensity of the AE (Mild, Moderate, Severe, Life-threatening consequences, Death, according to the Common Criteria of Adverse Event Terminology (CTCAE) version 4.0)
- Duration of the AE (Difference between the start and end date of the event)
- Causal relationship (Very likely/Definitive, Probable, Possible, Unlikely, Not related, Not assessable/Not classifiable according to the WHO classification)
- Attitude towards treatment (No change, Modification of doses, Temporary interruption, Definitive interruption).
4. Results of laboratory tests (Hematological (hemoglobin, platelets, total leukocytes, CAN) and Blood chemistry (AST, ALT, total bilirubin, creatinine, glycemia, albumin, total proteins, alkaline phosphatase) .The values will be recorded according to the units established for each test, reporting as normal, abnormal, not clinically significant, abnormal clinically significant and not performed, according to the normality ranges of the institution). Measurement time: at baseline and, 1 week after end of treatment.
