Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Response rate (RR) according to the RECIST Criteria;Secondary Objective: - Progression free survival (PFS), - Overall Survival (OS), - Disease Control Rate (DCR), - Safety profile, - Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-STO22).;Primary end point(s): Response rate (RR) according to the RECIST Criteria;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Taking into account the relatively rarity of the disease and the strict selection criteria (Her2/neu negative and Royal Marsden Prognostic score 0-1), it is anticipated that a total of three eligible patients per month will be randomized, considering also a 10% of not evaluable patients, a 27 month period of accrual and further 18 month of follow up will be estimated to reach the primary and secondary objective | — |
