Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the clinical overall response rate of calcium electroporation treatment of malignant tumours of the skin after two months. The evaluation will use the modified RECIST criteria, clinical examination with calliper measurement and photographical documentation using adhesive rulers for scale. Response rate will be defined as number of responding lesions (partial or complete response) relative to treated lesions.; Secondary Objective: Secondary endpoints are to • Evaluate treatment response at month 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 in addition to evaluating treatment response after 2 months. • Assess tumour and surrounding tissue response to treatment from biopsies of the treated area after 1 year. • Assess response after treatment on MRI scans on a subset of patients before and immediately after treatment, as well as after 2 months. • Evaluate patient quality of life before treatment, after 2 months and after 1 year through o EORTC questionnaires. o Qualitative interviews (in a subset of patients). • Investigate any sign of systemic immunologic response from any routine scans before and after treatment in the inclusion period. • To list response rates and response duration according to tumour histology. • To determine complete and partial remissions for all tumours treated. • To determine rate of response for each individual patient. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the clinical overall response rate of calcium electroporation treatment of malignant tumours of the skin after two months.

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints are to • Evaluate treatment response at month 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 in addition to evaluating treatment response after 2 months. • Assess tumour and surrounding tissue response to treatment from biopsies of the treated area after 1 year. • Assess response after treatment on MRI scans on a subset of patients before and immediately after treatment, as well as after 2 months. • Evaluate patient quality of life before treatment, after 2 months and after 1 year through o EORTC questionnaires. o Qualitative interviews (in a subset of patients). • Investigate any sign of systemic immunologic response from any routine scans before and after treatment in the inclusion period. • To list response rates and response duration according to tumour histology. • To determine complete and partial remissions for all tumours treated. • To determine rate of response for each individual patient. • To investigate response (overall, as well as complete and partial) depending whether the treated tumour was in a previously irradiated area • To measure current during treatment as measured by the pulse generator. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Evaluate treatment response at month 1, 3, 4, 6 and 12 in addition to evaluating treatment response after 2 months.
