Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Comparative validation of antitumor efficacy measured by objective remissionrate defined by RECIST-criteria (OR= CR+ PR), assessed within intent-to-treat-collective.;Secondary Objective: Determination of progression free survival Determination of overall survival Rate of liver resection with potentially curative approach Evaluation of safety and compatibility (NCI-CTCAE-criteria) Determination of time to failure of strategy Determination of remission depth (maximum relative remission of tumor burden compared to baseline);Primary end point(s): Progression of metastatic colorectal cancer or patient's death | — |
