Quality of Life End Points in Cancer Clinical Trials: Review and Recommendations
Open accessAbstract
In this presentation, issues that influenced the development of policies for inclusion of quality of life end points in certain Southwest Oncology Group clinical trials are reviewed. The key policies recommended by us and adopted by the Cancer Control Research Committee of the Southwest Oncology Group are as follows: (a) Begin assessment of quality of life in specific types of phase III protocols. (b) Always measure physical functioning, emotional functioning, symptoms (general and protocol specific), and global quality of life separately. (c) Include measures of social functioning and additional protocol-specific measures if resources permit. (d) Use patient-based questionnaires with psychometric properties that have been documented in published studies. In this review, we also recommend specific questionnaires. Our recommendations may prove useful for other cancer clinical trials groups and for multi-institution trials of treatment for chronic diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
