Participants with baseline hepatic impairment (combination arm, n = 50; capecitabine arm, n = 37), defined as Grade ≥2 AST, ALT or Grade ≥1 total bilirubin, were contraindicated due to disproportionate number of toxic deaths observed in study CA163-046.

Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Ixabepilone + Capecitabine, Capecitabine
Comments There was a statistically significant difference between groups in change from baseline FBSI score favoring capecitabine. A mean change from baseline of 2.5 was considered a clinically meaningful difference (minimally important difference or MID). On-treatment mean changes in the FBSI did not reach the MID in either group.
