These included five functional scales (physical functioning \[PF\], role functioning \[RF\], cognitive functioning \[CF\], emotional functioning \[EF\] and social functioning \[SF\]), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain and nausea/vomiting \[N/V\]), a global health status (GHS)/ Quality-of-Life (QoL) scale, and six single items (constipation, diarrhoea, insomnia, dyspnoea, appetite loss \[AL\] and financial difficulties \[FD\]). Response options are 1 to 4. Scores are averaged and transformed to 0 to 100, a high score for functional scales/ GHS/QoL represent better functioning ability or health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), whereas a high score for symptom scales/ single items represent significant symptomatology. Baseline was defined as latest pre-dose assessment (Day 1) with a non-missing value, including unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting Baseline value from the post-dose visit value.
Change From Baseline in HRQoL as Measured by EORTC IL52Up to 255 weeksThe EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire 20-item Multiple Myeloma module (QLQMY20) is a supplement to the QLQ-C30 instrument used in participants with multiple myeloma. For the EORTC IL52, disease symptoms domain of the QLQ-MY20 will be used for bone aches or pain, back pain, hip pain, arm or shoulder pain, chest pain, and pain increasing with activity. The individual component scores in the disease symptom domain are averaged and transformed linearly to a score ranging from 0 to100. A high score for disease symptoms represents a high level of symptomatology or problems.
