Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The study addresses two primary questions, according to its factorial design: to compare the efficacy in terms of OS of a peri-operative vs. a post-operative CHT treatment, irrespectively of the presence of a post-surgical CHT-RTX (Timing Study); to compare the efficacy in terms of l-RFS of a post-surgical CHT-RTX treatment vs. no other treatment, irrespectively of the timing of CHT (RTX Study);Secondary Objective: To compare: the efficacy in terms of DFS of a peri-operative vs. a post-operative CHT treatment, irrespectively of the presence of a post-surgical CHT-RTX (Timing Study); the efficacy in terms of OS of a post-surgical CHT-RTX treatment vs. no other treatment, irrespectively of the timing of CHT (RTX Study); To evaluate the compliance, tolerability and safety profile of each treatment combination.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is OS, defined for each patient as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. Patients not reported as having died at the end of the study will be censored at the date they were last known to be alive.
