Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prevention of Pegfilgrastim-Induced Bone Pain (PIBP) (NCT NCT00602420)

NCT ID: NCT00602420

Last Updated: 2015-11-09

Results Overview

Severity and duration of bone pain (day 1 being the day pegfilgrastim is administered) as measured by a daily diary. Patients recorded daily pain (Pain Scale Score) severity on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine) for the last 24 hours. The AUC range was 0-40, and the units are (Pain Scale Score)\*Days.
