Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To determine the association between cisplatin pharmacokinetic properties and BSA. - To determine the association between cisplatin pharmacokinetic properties and skeletal muscle mass. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - To investigate the association between cisplatin pharmacokinetic properties and the occurrence of chemotherapy related toxicity and treatment de-escalation or termination (dose-limiting toxicity). - To investigate the quality of life of patients undergoing CRT and its relationship with cisplatin pharmacokinetic properties and cisplatin related toxicity. (exploratory objective) - To investigate the healthcare related costs of patients undergoing CRT and its relationship with low skeletal muscle mass. (exploratory objective) - To investigate the association between several genetic variants and toxicity, in collaboration with the PGx study (protocol ID PGxLungCA01; NL53736.100.15). | — |
