Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) time of Cetuximab and Erbitux®. Timepoint: a 12-month period. Method of measurement: PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first date of documentation progression (per investigator assessment) or death as a result of any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Overall survival. Timepoint: a 12-month period. Method of measurement: the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.;Objective response rate. Timepoint: a 12-month period. Method of measurement: RECIST criteria (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors).;Time to treatment failure. Timepoint: a 12-month period. Method of measurement: - Time of treatment failures define as the time from the date of randomization to the date of each of the following, - The treatment modalities did not destroy or modify the cancer cell. - The tumor either became larger (disease progression) or stayed the same size after treatment, - Death from any cause - Discontinuation of treatment.;Safety and frequency of AEs. Timepoint: a 12-month period. Method of measurement: Safety wills assess on the basis of reports of adverse events, laboratory-test results, and vital sign measurements.;Immunogenicity. Timepoint: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 10, 16, 22, 28, 34, 40 and 46. Method of measurement: assessment (antidrug antibody [ADA] and neutralizing antibody [nAb]).
