Proportion of patients who achieve "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - Palmar-Plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE)" grade 0 or 1
The proportion of patients who achieve "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE" grade 0 or 1 at week 6 from grade 2 or above at baseline
Time frame: 6 weeks
Safety of study drug
Safety of study drug as determined by number of participants with abnormal laboratory values and/or Adverse Events that are related to treatment
Time frame: 6 weeks
Proportion of patients who achieve at least one grade improvement in HFS severity
The proportion of patients who achieve at least one grade improvement in HFS severity according to "NCI CTCAE v5.0 - PPE" by week 6
Time frame: 6 weeks
Change from baseline in patient reported pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Change from baseline in patient reported pain using VAS at week 6. VAS is a scale used to determine the pain intensity experienced by individuals, which consists of a line 10 cm in length, with the left side signifying no pain and the right side signifying the worst pain ever.
Time frame: 6 weeks
Change from baseline in Hand-Foot Skin Reaction and Quality of Life (HF-QoL) Questionnaire total score
Change from baseline in HF-QoL Questionnaire total score at week 6. HF-QoL questionnaire is comprised of a 20-item symptom domain and an 18-item daily activity domain. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (always or extremely) during the previous week. The HF-QoL symptom and daily activity total scores are transformed to a scale of 0 to 100, based on the sum of each unit-weighted item score divided by the maximum score. Higher scores on the HF-QoL indicate worse quality of life or greater symptom burden.
Time frame: 6 weeks
