acetylcarnitine and Sensitivity and Specificity

acetylcarnitine has been researched along with Sensitivity and Specificity in 12 studies

Acetylcarnitine: An acetic acid ester of CARNITINE that facilitates movement of ACETYL COA into the matrices of mammalian MITOCHONDRIA during the oxidation of FATTY ACIDS.

Sensitivity and Specificity: Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed)

Trial Outcomes

12-week FACIT-fatigue Model-adjusted Score in ALC and Placebo Groups

Compare fatigue outcome between treatment and placebo groups as measured by the 13-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy FACIT-fatigue questionnaire at 12 weeks after study registration in women with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy. Linear regression model adjusted for baseline score, taxane regiment, and age. Lower scores indicate more fatigue. Total possible range is 0 to 52. For more information on this subscale, please see http://www.facit.org/FACITOrg/Questionnaires (NCT00775645)
Timeframe: 12 weeks post-registration

InterventionFACIT-fatigue score (Mean)
Arm I (Acetyl-L-carnitine Hydrochloride))36.6
Arm II (Placebo)35.3

12-week FACT-Taxane Neurotoxicity Model-adjusted Score in ALC and Placebo Groups

Compare whether treatment with acetyl-L-carnitine hydrochloride vs placebo prevents symptoms of neuropathy as measured by the 11-item neurotoxicity (NTX) component of the Functional Assesment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-Taxane Questionnaire at 12 weeks after study registration in women with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy. Linear regression model adjusted for baseline score, taxane regiment, and age. Lower scores indicate worse CIPN. Total possible range is 0 to 64. For more information on this subscale, please see http://www.facit.org/FACITOrg/Questionnaires (NCT00775645)

12-week FACT-Trial Outcome Index(TOI) Functional Status Model-adjusted Score in ALC and Placebo Groups

Compare FACT-TOI outcome in treatment vs placebo groups at 12 weeks after study registration in women with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy. Linear regression model adjusted for baseline score, taxane regiment, and age. Lower scores indicate worse functional status. Total possible range is 0 to 120.
