Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary endpoint of the study is to compare the overall survival (OS) of the GAP regimen to Gemcitabine platinum combination.Timepoint: The study duration is of 48 months. Total around 350 patients will be screened and 255 eligible patients shall be included in this study over 36 months period.Patients will be followed for 12 months. Response assessment scans will be performed at baseline and after every 4 cycles. QOL analysis will be conducted at the following time intervals (approximate) at Baseline At approximately 3 months and 6 months post starting therapy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints The secondary endpoints and objectives include 1. To compare the progression free survival (PFS) of the GAP regimen to Gemcitabine platinum combination. 2. To compare the toxicity of the GAP regimen to Gemcitabine platinum combination. 3. To compare the tolerance of the GAP regimen to Gemcitabine platinum combination. 4. To compare the quality of life of the GAP regimen to Gemcitabine platinum combination.Timepoint: The total study duration is of 48 months
