Jill Feldman: In what universe is 4 – 6 loose stools a day considered tolerable???
Jill Feldman recently shared a post by Stacey Tinianov, Vice President of Patient Advocacy and Engagement at on X, adding the following:
“Seriously, & pain, bloating, urgency, incontinence, aren’t included in grade
Safety is an endpoint for clinical trials, NOT tolerability or QOL – you can’t quantify impact!
Need to characterize Grade 1 & 2 AE’s in the context of people’s lives.
Grade 2 diarrhea NOT tolerable!”
Quoting Stacey Tinianov:
“‘In what universe is 4 – 6 loose stools a day considered tolerable???’ Jill Feldman in MASCC webinar on GI side effects in cancer care.
This lived experience is the real measure.”
