| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the effect on progression-free survival (PFS) of NGR-hTNF administered at low dose (0.8 μg/m2) in combination with standard chemotherapy as compared to standard chemotherapy alone.;Secondary Objective: (1) To determine the safety profile of NGR-hTNF in combination with standard chemotherapy. (2) To evaluate the effect of NGR-hTNF in combination with standard chemotherapy on objective response rate (according to RECIST criteria), duration of response (DR), and overall survival (OS) as compared to standard chemotherapy alone.;Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS). | — |
