Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Study of Minocycline for Reducing Symptom Burden in Colorectal Patients (NCT NCT01906008)

NCT ID: NCT01906008

Last Updated: 2020-03-17

Results Overview

AUC for MDASI-numbness/tingling . Each item is rated on a 0 to 10 scale with 0 = symptom not present or no interference and 10 meaning the symptom severity is as bad as can be imagine or complete interference. For this study, the sub scale is the average of the 2 preselected items namely, numbness/tingling and fatigue. This subscale ranges from 0 to 10. The primary outcome is the average of the 120 -day area (4 months) under the curve for the sub scale. AUC ranges from 0 (0\*120) to 1200 (10\*120). To put this into perspective, the average AUC of 103.5 can also be thought of as an average daily AUC of 0.86 ( 103.5/120) on a 0 to 10 scale over the 120-day study period. Lower values represent better outcome while higher values represent worse outcome.
