Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to assess overall survival (OS) with an assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) as an accelerated approval endpoint. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to assess quality of life (QoL), and safety and tolerability. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is overall survival, defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented death or date of last follow-up. There is also an assessment of progression free survival, defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented, objective PD, radiological or clinical findings or death (if prior to progression), as an accelerated approval endpoint. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: per protocol
