Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Increase of the objective response rate of the lesion treated in the treatment arm compared to the control arm;Secondary Objective: a) Evaluate the effect of ECT on disease progression free time and survival. b) Evaluate the impact of ECT on quality of life with particular attention to the effect on pain. c) Evaluating the toxicity associated with the treatment of Electrochemotherapy.;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of the objective response;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The objective response at 1, 3 and 6 months from ECT will be based on the CT / MR / PET-CT response performed by the radiologist using morphological criteria (RECIST 1.1), densitometrics (mRECIST and CHOI criteria) and functional parameters extracted from the post processing of MRI data and the PERCIST criteria of PET / CT. The long-term objective response of the treatment (9 and 12 months from the procedure) will be evaluated with the mRECIST criteria, which will take into account the difference in size and density, determined by the images obtained by CT perforation of the tumor nodules treated before and after ECT. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |

| Secondary end point(s): 1) Evaluate the effect of ECT on disease progression free time and survival. 2) Evaluate the impact of ECT on quality of life with particular attention to the effect on pain. 3) To evaluate the toxicity associated with the treatment of Electrochemotherapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 137/5000 Evaluation of secondary endpoints will be performed at follow-up visits: 0, 3, 15, 30, 90, 180, 270 and 360 days from treatment | — |
