Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary endpoint is overall survival (OS): Survival is defined as the time from randomisation until death from any cause or censoring of survivors at the time of the last documented observation within the study period, whichever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Toxicity of treatment based on the incidence of grade 3-5 NCI-CTC-AE 5.0 - Quality of life (quality of life according to EORTC-QLQ-C30, QLQBN20 and BN) - Cortisone demand (mg/d) - Progression-free survival (PFS) according to RANO - Neurocognitive function (Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised)
