Brief summary

Cancer-free survival (CFS) as time between randomization and “cancer” event defined as histologically confirmed cancer diagnosis established during trial participation or death from any cause

Detailed description

Tumor-free survival (TFS) as time between randomization and a “tumor” event including diagnosis of histologically confirmed cancer or clinically or radiologically detected benign or premalignant lesion identified during trial participation or death from any cause, Time from randomization to death from any cause during trial participation, Number and type of emerging cancers, including size, stage and histological grade at diagnosis, Treatment-emergent (serious) adverse events (AEs, SAEs), Levels of metformin adherence described by the aggregated MARS-5 scores, Change of QoL, FOP, levels of depression and anxiety and distress during the trial, Change in QoL, FOP, levels of depression and anxiety and distress from baseline to last visit, Correlation of baseline weight, BMI and lifestyle factors (e. g. smoking) with outcome
