Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the disease control rate as defined by RECIST assessment criteria [Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) + Stable Disease (SD) rates] for both Vinflunine-Gemcitabine and Vinflunine-Carboplatin combinations;Secondary Objective: To assess the safety profile of the treatment. To evaluate other efficacy parameters: Objective Response Rate (CR + PR rates), duration of response and duration of disease control, Time to treatment failure (TTF), Progression free survival (PFS) and Overall survival (OS). ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is to determine the disease control rate as defined by RECIST assessment criteria [Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) + Stable Disease (SD) rates] for both Vinflunine-Gemcitabine and Vinflunine-Carboplatin combinations | — |
