Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Time until Grade 2 or higher patient-reported peripheral neuropathy after start of treatment in the first 12 weeks

    Time-to-event analysis of Grade 2 or higher patient-reported peripheral neuropathy (severity scale, based on a patient-reported outcome questionnaire: "Patient-Reported Outcomes for Adverse Events" (PRO-CTCAE)). Outcome measurement value: percentage, absolute number, grade number. \-- PRO-CTCAE: patient-reported outcome scale that assesses adverse events (e.g. "pain" and "numbness \& tingling") on severity (5-point Likert scale 0 = "None", 1 = "Mild", 2 = "Moderate", 3 = "Severe", 4 = "Very severe") and interference with daily activities (0 = "Not at all", 1 = "A little bit", 2 = "Somewhat", 3 = "Quite a bit", 4 = "Very much"). We use the scale to assess the current experienced symptoms, and the scale has been translated to Dutch.
