A total of 454 patients were randomized to study treatment.
Of these patients, 416 (91.6 %) completed cycle 1.
The most common reason for discontinuation during cycle
1 was adverse events (8.4 %) (Fig. 1). Baseline demographic
and clinical characteristics were similar across
treatment groups (Table 1). Overall, 85.7 % of patients
received concomitant emetogenic chemotherapy (CEC),
and 99.1 % had a KPS of >60. The median duration of
each cycle ranged from 26 to 28 days.
