Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: to assess the effect of treatment with propanololo 80 mg retard on overall survival for melanoma patients in stage II/IIIA (T2, N0 or N1, M0) at 5 years follow-up after at least one years of treatment;Secondary Objective: to evaluate the effect of treatment on disease free survival at five years follow-up in patinets stage II/IIA to evaluate the effect of treatment of specific mortality for melanoma to evaluate the long term safaty of treatment in patient with melanoma stage II/IIIA to evaluate the adherence to propanololo treatment (compliance);Primary end point(s): ndn

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Overall survival (OS) will be the primary end-point of efficacy in this Phase III trial. It is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause or to the date of last follow-up. Every effort should be made to document the latest date of follow-up/date of death and the cause of death. Patients still alive at the latest follow-up will be considered as censored observations.; We will include in this study histologically confirmed CMM diagnosed before their recruitment (date at interview) in the trial and before the end of the last follow-up period. We will evaluate progression or death before the end of the last follow-up period.
