niacinamide and Diarrhea

niacinamide has been researched along with Diarrhea in 78 studies

nicotinamide : A pyridinecarboxamide that is pyridine in which the hydrogen at position 3 is replaced by a carboxamide group.

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Disease Control Rate (DCR) by Central Review

DCR was defined as the proportion of participants whose best response was CR, PR, stable disease (SD) or Non-CR/Non-PD. Per RECIST version 1.1, CR=all target lesions disappeared, any pathological lymph node, target/non-target, a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR=at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference baseline sum diameters. PD=at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference smallest sum on study. Appearance of new lesions and unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. SD=neither sufficient shrinkage qualified for PR nor sufficient increase qualified for PD, taking smallest sum of diameters as a reference. Non-CR/Non-PD=persistence of 1/more non-target lesion(s) and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above normal limits. DCR=CR+PR+SD or Non-CR/Non-PD. CR and PR confirmed by another scan at least 4 weeks later. SD and Non-CR/Non-PD documented at least 6 weeks after randomization. (NCT01234337)
Timeframe: From randomization of the first participant until approximately 3 years later or until disease radiological progression

Duration of Response (DOR) by Central Reader

DOR was defined as the time from date of first response (CR or PR) to the date when PD is first documented, or to the date of death, whichever occurred first according to RECIST version 1.1. CR=all target lesions disappeared, and any pathological lymph node, whether target or non-target, had a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. If any residual lesion was present, cyto-histology was made available to unequivocally document benignity. PR=at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Participants still having CR or PR and have not died at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. DOR defined for confirmed responders only (that is, CR or PR). 'NA' indicates that value could not be estimated due to censored data. Median and 95% CIs were computed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. (NCT01234337)
Timeframe: From randomization of the first participant until approximately 3 years later or until disease radiological progression

Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Central Review

ORR was defined as the best tumor response (Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) observed during treatment or within 30 days after termination of study treatment, assessed according to the RECIST version 1.1. CR=all target lesions disappeared, and any pathological lymph node, whether target or non-target, had a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. If any residual lesion was present, cyto-histology was made available to unequivocally document benignity. PR=at least 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. ORR=CR+PR. CR and PR were confirmed by another scan at least 4 weeks later. (NCT01234337)

Timeframe: From randomization of the first participant until approximately 3 years later

Patient Reported Outcomes: Euroqol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) - Index Score

The EQ-5D was a generic Quality of life (QoL) based instrument validated in cancer populations. EQ-5D questionnaire contained a 5-item descriptive system of health states (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) and visual analogue scale (VAS). A single HRQoL score ranging from -0.59 to 1 was generated from standard scoring algorithm developed by the EuroQoL was the EQ-5D index score, higher scores represent better health status. A change of at least 0.10 to 0.12 points was considered clinically meaningful. The results on the ANCOVA of time-adjusted AUC for the EQ-5D - Index Score were reported. The time-adjusted AUC was calculated by dividing the AUC by duration (in days) over the period of interest, and reported as 'scores on a scale'. (NCT01234337)
Timeframe: Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, and EOT (21 days after last dose of study drug)

Patient Reported Outcomes: Euroqol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) - Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score

VAS was generated from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). This VAS score was referred to as the EQ-5D self-reported health status score. The results on ANCOVA of time-adjusted AUC were reported. The time-adjusted AUC was calculated by dividing the AUC by duration (in days) over the period of interest, and reported as 'scores on a scale'. (NCT01234337)
Timeframe: Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, and EOT (21 days after last dose of study drug)

The FBSI-8 was an 8-item questionnaire. Participants responded to each item using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). A total scale score was calculated (range from 0 to 32), with higher scores indicating low symptomatology and reflecting a better Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The results on the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of time-adjusted area under curve (AUC) for the FBSI-8 score were reported. The time-adjusted AUC was calculated by dividing the AUC by duration (in days) over the period of interest, and reported as 'scores on a scale'. (NCT01234337)
Timeframe: Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, and end of treatment (EOT, 21 days after last dose of study drug)

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Assessed by the Independent Review Panel According to Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1

PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to disease progression, radiological or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST version 1.1, progressive disease was determined when there was at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of the target lesions, taking as a reference the smallest sum on study (this included the baseline sum if that was the smallest sum on trial). In addition to a relative increase of 20%, the sum had demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Appearance of new lesions and unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions was also interpreted as progressive disease. Participants without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of evaluable tumor evaluation. Median and other 95% confidence intervals (CIs) computed using Kaplan-Meier estimates. (NCT01234337)

Anti-cancer Activity (eg, Percentage of Patients With Confirmed Complete Responses (CR) and Partial Responses (PR) Per RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) Criteria in Patients With Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC)

CR-disappearance of clinical/radiological tumor evidence (target/nontarget). PR- >=30% decrease in sum longest diameter (LD) of target lesions from BL sum LD. Stable disease (SD)-no shrinkage for PR nor increase for PD. Progressive disease (PD) measurement proven- >=20% increase in sum LD of lesions from smallest sum LD since start or new lesions. Progression by clinical judgement- >clinically meaningful cancer-related deterioration as judged by the investigator. (NCT00101413)
Timeframe: First patient first treatment until date for last data collection for efficacy for a study period up to 62 weeks. Tumor assessed per RECIST at baseline (BL), every 8 weeks during treatment and at end of treatment.

Change From Baseline of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) Score Assessed at Cycle 2, Cycle 4, and End of Treatment (EOT)

HRQoL was assessed with the FACT-L questionnaire, a validated instrument for determining lung cancer HRQoL. The 36-item questionnaire includes 4 domains: Physical, functional, emotional, and social/family well-being, and a lung cancer-specific subscale. The FACT-L total score ranges from 1 to 136. Lower scores (negative change from baseline) demonstrate impaired HRQoL. (NCT00101413)
Timeframe: From first patient first treatment until date of last efficacy data collection (study period up to 62 weeks). HRQoL assessed at baseline (BL), end of treatment Cycles 2 and 4, and at end of treatment
