Trial Outcomes

Mean Score Change in Depression Measured With CES-D Between 4 Weeks and Baseline

Depression was measured using Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The sum of the scores for all 20 items (range: 0-60) was used to assess depression level, and higher scores indicated a higher level of depression. Score change= CES-D score at 4 weeks - CES-D score at baseline. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Levocarnitine-3.05
Placebo-2.91

Mean Score Change in Fatigue Measured With Brief Fatigue Inventory From Baseline to 4 Weeks

Fatigue was measured using Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). The average of all 9 items included in the scale (range: 0-10) was used to measure fatigue level, and a higher average represented worse fatigue. Score change= BFI score at 4 weeks - BFI score at baseline. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Levocarnitine-0.96
Placebo-1.11

Mean Score Change in Fatigue Measured With FACIT-F From Baseline to 4 Weeks

Fatigue was measured using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Fatigue subscale (FACIT-F). The sum of the scores for all 13 items (range: 0-52) included in the scale was used to measure fatigue level, and lower score represented worse fatigue. Score change= FACIT-F score at 4 weeks - FACIT-F score at baseline. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Levocarnitine5.36
Placebo4.04

Mean Score Change in Pain Measured With Brief Pain Inventory From Baseline to 4 Weeks

Pain was measured using Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The mean of the 4 severity items (range: 0-10 with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing pain as bad as you can imagine) was used to measure pain severity. Score change= BPI score at 4 weeks - BPI score at baseline. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Levocarnitine-0.19
Placebo-0.08

Prevalence of Carnitine Deficiency at 4 Weeks

Carnitine deficiency is defined as a ratio of acylcarnitine (total-free) to free carnitine > 0.4 μmol/L or free carnitine < 35 μmol/L for males and < 25 μmol/L for females. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionproportion of participants (Number)
Arm I0.113
Arm II0.333

Proportion of Patients With Stable or Improving Performance Status at 4 Weeks

Performance status (PS) was measured using Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status scale. Lower score represents better PS. Change in PS was calculated by PS at week 4- PS at baseline. Patients with negative value for change in PS were considered to have stable or improving PS. (NCT00091169)
Timeframe: assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after randomization

Interventionproportion of participants (Number)
Arm I0.806
Arm II0.875
