Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to estimate the Progression-Free Survival (PFS) at 12 months for the two arms of the study.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to estimate: • The overall response rate (ORR), as per RECIST criteria in the two treatment arms • Progression Free Survival (PFS) • Overall Survival (OS) • The safety profile of the two arms • To assess immunogenicity of intravenous aflibercept Exploratory: To Investigate •Pharmacogenetics and Biomarker testing;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy parameter is Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate at 12 months, defined as percentage of patients alive without progression at 12 months.
