Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: • To evaluate the survival of patients at 9 months;Secondary Objective: • Progression-free survival (PFS) (clinical and/or radiological) • Overall survival (OS) • Best response rate during treatment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (according to the investigator and the centralised review committee) • Toxicity (NCI CTC 4.0) • Quality of life (QLQ-C30 and OES18 questionnaires of the EORTC);Primary end point(s): The primary objective is to evaluate the percentage of patients alive 9 months after randomisation. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 9 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary evaluation end points are: • Progression-free survival (PFS): PFS is defined as the time interval between date of randomisation and date of first progression (clinical and/or radiological: RECIST 1.1 criteria) determined by the investigator, or date of death (whatever the cause). Patients alive without progression will be censured at date of last news. • Overall survival (OS): OS is defined as the time interval between date of randomisation and date of death (whatever the cause). Patients alive will be censured at date of last news. • Best response rate: • The best response rate is defined as the best response rate obtained during treatment. This end point will be evaluated solely in patients measurable with RECIST 1.1 criteria. This rate will be described as an objective response rate: complete response or partial response (CR, PR) according to the investigator (RECIST 1.1 criteria) and also by centralised review. • Toxicity It will be evaluated and graded in conformity with NCI-CTC v4.0 criteria. • Quality of life (QLQ-C30 questionnaires of EORTC + OES18 of EORTC) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 9 months | — |
