Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Efficacy Primary Outcomes: Determine the overall survival with these treatments as the primary outcome. Secondary Outcomes: Determine the followings as the secondary outcome variables:; - Progression-free survival (PFS); - Time to treatment failure (TTF); - Objective tumour response (CR, PR) and the disease control rate (CR, PR, SD [>=12 weeks]) based on the RECIST guidelines; - Lung cancer subscale (LCS); - QOL according to FACT-L questionnaire; - Frequency and severity of adverse events.; Determine the followings as the exploratory outcome variables:; - Biomarkers related to expression, activation and dimerisation of EGFR and other ErbB family receptors and associated pathways including downstream signalling pathways; - Biomarkers related to somatic (non-inheritable) mutation analyses of genes of the ErbB family, their signalling pathways and associated pathways which are thought to be influenced by gefitinib in tumour cells. | — |
