Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
PFS (progression-free survival), defined as the time from the start of treatment with Dabrafenib + Trametinib until the date of the first documented progression of the disease or death (any reason). PFS rates after 6, 12, 18 months follow-up. DCR (disease control rate), calculated as the proportion of treated patients who received a best clinical response from complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR, partial remission), or a stabilization of the disease ( SD, stable disease) (eg 12, 24 months after initiation of therapy) OS (overall survival), defined as the time from the start of treatment with D + T to death (of any reason). OS rates, e.g. 12, 24 months after initiation of therapy. Multivariate analysis of clinical and biological markers for the identification of predictive factors for long-term use, defined as control of the disease (CR, PR or SD) 12, 24 or, as the case may be, 36 months after initiation of therapy DOT (duration of therapy, therapy duration), calculated from the start of treatment with D + T up to and including the last day of the last dose Percentage of patients who received other systemic therapies in the advanced, non-resectable or metastatic stage before initiation of therapy with D + T as well as the percentage of patients with other pre-treatment regimens (e.g., radiation, local therapies) Frequency (by type) and number of pretreatments. Frequency (by type) of treatment after therapy with D + T Percentage of treated patients with one or more dose reduction (s). Median duration of dose reductions, calculated as from the date of the modified dose until the date of return to the originally prescribed standard dose. Reasons for dose reduction. Calculated average dose (according to prescription). Changes in the course of the therapy with D + T of the scores on the quality of life, measured by the instruments: EQ5D, Facit-F Frequency and severity of adverse events. Percentage of patients with discontinuation due to an undesirable event (
