AbstractWe developed a composite symptom score (CSS) representing disease-related symptom burden over time in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Longitudinal data were collected from an open-label Phase IIB study in which 239 patients completed the validated MD Anderson Symptom Inventory for MPM (MDASI-MPM). A blinded, independent review committee of external patient-reported outcomes experts advised on MDASI-MPM symptoms to include in the CSS.

Session 6 during Carbon Fiber 2022 in Greeville, S.C., U.S. Photo Credit: CWI attended my first CompositesWorld Carbon Fiber Conference in December 2007. At the time, the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350 were in the late stages of their development but not yet in service, and the F-35 was in the early stages of production and being flight-tested.
