Actual (reported)Moderate or Severe Chronic Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)
Percentage of patients (with moderate or severe chronic CIPN) scoring 3 or 4 in at least 1 of the first 4 items of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity-13-item subscale (FACT/GOG-NTX-13; i.e., FACT/GOG-NTX-4) 9 months after the first dose of IMP (i.e. PledOx or placebo administered on Day 1, Cycle 1 of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy). The FACT/GOG-13 questionnaire includes 13 items that measure the severity and impact of symptoms of neurotoxicity over the past 7 days. Patients rate each item as 0 ("not at all"), 1 (" a little bit"), 2 ("somewhat"), 3 ("quite a bit") or 4 ("very much"). These 13 items are summed to create a total score, ranging from 0 to 52, with a higher score representing a worse outcome. The FACT/GOG-NTX-4 is a 4 item subscale targeting numbness, tingling or discomfort in hands and/or feet.
