Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): To compare patients’ preferences of the two treatment combinations everolimus plus exemestane or capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab after failure of standard antihormonal therapy in patients with advanced (inoperable or metastatic) Her2/neu-negative hormone receptor positive breast cancer. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The initially scheduled interim analysis will be omitted. Study data will be analyzed in the final analysis as planned based on the current number of randomized patients. The final analysis will take place once all patients have terminated trial therapy. This is planned for Q3 2017. ;Main Objective: The objective of this trial is to compare patients’ preferences of the two treatment combinations everolimus plus exemestane or capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab after failure of standard antihormonal therapy in patients with advanced (inoperable or metastatic) Her2/neu-negative hormone receptor positive breast cancer;Secondary Objective: • to evaluate reasons for preference as assessed by the patient preference questionnaire • to compare patient reported treatment satisfaction as assessed by the treatment satisfaction questionnaire in first- and second-line treatment • to investigate differences in quality of life by the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-FA13 questionnaire • to assess progression free survival rates after 12 weeks of therapy in first- (PFS rate 1) and second-line (PFS rate 2) • to assess clinical benefit by determining objective response rates and disease control rates based on tumor assessment as per RECIST 1.1 • to evaluate safety and tolerability throughout the study, including clinical laboratory, AEs and withdrawal of treatment due to AE • to determine physicians’ treatment preference as assessed by the physician preference questionnaire • to explore progression free survival and overall survival total and per line • to explore relationship between QoL scores and patient preferenc
