Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to compare the efficacy of Febuxostat with Allopurinol, in terms of sUA level control and preservation of renal function after seven days of treatment (Day 8) starting from 2 days prior to chemotherapy (Day 1).;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy analysis will be based on the following co-primary endpoints: • Area under the curve of sUA from baseline (Day 1) to the evaluation visit (Day 8) (AUC sUA 1-8). • Change in serum creatinine level from baseline (Day 1) to the evaluation visit (Day 8). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: from baseline (Day 1) to the evaluation visit (Day 8) ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this study are: •To compare the efficacy of Febuxostat with Allopurinol, in terms of: -maintenance of sUA levels < 7.5 mg/dL -occurrence of LTLS according to Cairo-Bishop criteria (see study protocol Appendix I, section 13.1) -occurrence of CTLS according to Cairo-Bishop criteria (see study protocol Appendix I, section 13.1) •To compare the safety of Febuxostat with Allopurinol.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy endpoints are: • Assessment of treatment responder rate, where treatment response is defined as the maintenance of sUA = 7.5 mg/dL from the start of chemotherapy (Day 3) to the evaluation visit (Day 8); treatment failure is defined as the presence of two or more consecutive values of sUA missing or > 7.5 mg/dL. The assessment will be based on the central laboratory result. • Assessment of LTLS, from start of chemotherapy (Day 3) to the evaluation visit (Day 8) based on local laboratory results. According to Cairo-Bishop definition LTLS is defined by the presence of 2 or more laboratory abnormalities including: a 25% increase or levels above normal for serum uric acid, potassium, and phosphate or a 25% decrease or levels below normal for calcium. For details, please refer to appendix 13.1.of the study protocol. • Assessment of CTLS, from start of chemotherapy (Day 3) to the evaluation visit (Day 8). According to Cairo-Bishop definition, CTLS is defined by the presence of LTLS in addition to 1 or more of the following significant clinical complications: renal insufficiency, cardiac arrhythmias, sudden death and seizures. The grade of CTLS is defined by the maximal grade of the clinical manifestation. For details, please refer to appendix 13.1.of the study protocol. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: from start of chemotherapy (Day 3) to the evaluation visit (Day 8)
