Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluate the impact of Tivantinib in increasing the progression free survival (PFS) in the intention to treat (ITT) population;Secondary Objective: To evaluate overall survival (OS), safety, disease control rate (DCR) in the ITT population. Additional exploratory objectives include evaluation of quality of life (QoL) in the ITT population, analysis of PFS and OS according to response to the first line treatment and in patients with MET amplification and MET and p-MET overexpression; evaluation of MET pathway dysregulation by analysis of mutations of the genes MET, PIK3CA, AKT, PTEN, RAS, RAF, and MEK; to evaluate acquisition of resistance and molecular changes.;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival, assessed from the date of enrolment to the date of disease progression or to the date of death, whichever occurs first ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The progression free survival (PFS) will be determined as the time from the date of enrolment to the date of disease progression (or relapse) or to the date of death, whichever occurs first. Patients without a PFS event at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of last assessment. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Overall survival, assessed from the date of enrolment to the date of death from any cause • Disease control rate, as percentage of patients achieving a complete response plus partial response plus stable disease • Toxicity during the treatment, graded according to the NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4. • PFS and OS according to type of response to the first-line treatment • PFS, OS and DCR according to MET amplification and MET and p-MET overexpression, mutations of the genes MET, PIK3CA, AKT, PTEN, RAS, RAF, and MEK using next generation sequencing (NGS) at baseline and at the disease progression • Quality of Life assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-LC13;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - The OS will be determined as the time from the date of enrolment to the date of death from any cause. Patients alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the date of last assessment. - The DCR will be measured from the date of treatment initiation to the date of onset of the first objective response (CR / PR / SD) until the final visit. - Toxicity will be evaluated during the treatment until 30 days after the last dose of study medication - Gene mutational status will be analyzed at baseline and at the disease progression date - The Quality of Life will be assessed from the date of enrollment, every 8 weeks, until the end-of-treatment visit | — |
