Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean change in HemoglobinTimepoint: Baseline and 3 months and 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Other Hematologic Outcomes Mean change in RBC counts WBC counts Platelet counts MCV MCH MCHC at 3 and 6 months b. Proportion of patients with Hb less 11 g per dL at 3 and 6 months Proportion of patients requiring blood transfusion or erythropoiesis stimulating agents Time to occurrence of anemia, defined as Hb less than 11 g per dLTimepoint: 0 3 6 months;Renal Outcome a. Mean change in serum creatinine and creatinine clearance at three and six months b. Incidence of clinically significant worsening of renal parameters any time during adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinically significant worsening of renal parameters during chemotherapy will be defined as either: An increase in serum creatinine to one and a half times the baseline value or meeting Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version five grade two or higher nephrotoxicity criteria An acute kidney injury event as per Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines, defined as an increase in serum creatinine of at least zero point three milligrams per decilitre within forty-eight hours or an increase to one and a half times the baseline value within seven daysTimepoint: 0 3 6 months;Hepatic Outcome a. Mean change in alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total proteins, albumins, globulin and serum bilirubin levels at three and six months b. Incidence of clinically significant worsening of liver enzyme parameters any time during adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinically significant worsening of liver enzyme parameters will be defined as: An increase in alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase greater than three times the upper limit of normal An increase in total bilirubin greater than one and a half times the upper limit of normal An increase in alkaline phosphatase greater than two and a half times the upper limit of normal at any time during the adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy phaseTimepoint: 0 3 6 month
