Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy (as measured by objective tumor response) of nab-paclitaxel in combination with either carboplatin or gemcitabine in treatment-naïve patients with CUP.;Secondary Objective: -To assess the duration of response, time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) of CUP patients after nab-paclitaxel- gemcitabine or nab-paclitaxel- carboplatin; -to evaluate the safety of combining nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine or carboplatin in CUP patients treatment. ;Primary end point(s): Objective response rate (ORR) as evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 guidelines;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every nine weeks with >/ = confirmation of response every 4 weeks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Efficacy: TTP, OS, and duration of response according to RECIST version 1.1; - Safety: toxicity according to CTCAE version 4.03;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Every nine weeks with >/ = confirmation of response every 4 weeks; As required by law in the field of pharmacovigilace in clinical trials | — |
