Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Grade of hand foot syndrome over time as measured by NCI CTCAE version 4.03 PPE syndrome criteria

    Grading of PPE by NCI CTC criteria is collected on a diary card that subjects fill out once daily. Investigators assess and fill the grading into the case report form every week.

    Once daily until the date that the consecutive 2 cycles of capecitabine-containing chemotherapy ended (up to 6 weeks)

  • Assessment of patient reported pain using a 1-10 score.

    Assessment of patient reported pain using a 1-10 score is collected on a diary card that subjects fill out once daily.

    Once daily until the date that the consecutive 2 cycles of capecitabine-containing chemotherapy ended(up to 6 weeks)

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale

    Baseline and after the intervention completed (up to 6 weeks)

  • Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score

    Baseline and after the intervention completed (up to 6 weeks)

  • Chemotherapy completion rate

    After the intervention completed (up to 6 weeks)

  • Incidence of reduced dosage of capecitabine thereby

    After the intervention completed (up to 6 weeks)

  • Incidence of cessation of capecitabine thereby

    After the intervention completed (up to 6 weeks)

Study Arms (2)
