Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Investigate the activity and safety of the combination of bortezomib and cisplatin as first line treatment for malignant mesothelioma.;Secondary Objective: - Validate the use of the progression free survival rate (PFSR) as primary end point for the design of mesothelioma phase II trials. - Perform an explorative translational research program, looking at the use of platelet count, Il-6 and pharmacogenomics in the assessment of response rate, PFSR, and survival;Primary end point(s): The primary end-point of the study in this first line treatment group will be progression free survival rate (PFSR) at 18 weeks.
