Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Radiologic scans performed at weeks 9 and 18 (+/-1 week) and every 12 weeks thereafter relative to the date of randomisation until the primary analysis (approximately 20 months)PFS (based on independent central review) was defined as the time from randomisation until objective disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 (≥20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions from minimum, clinically significant progression in non-target lesions or the presence of a new lesion) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)Following disease progression, patients will be contacted every 12 weeks to assess survival status until the final analysis (approximately 50 months)OS was defined as the time from randomisation until death by any cause. Patients who had not died at the time of analysis were censored at the last date the patient was known to be alive. Updated OS based on final OS analysis (DCO 31 January 2014)
Percentage Change in Tumour SizeWeek 9 (+/- 1 week)The total tumour size was defined as the sum of the longest diameters of the target lesions. At week 9, the percentage change in tumour size was calculated as \[(week 9 sum of target lesions - baseline sum of target lesions)/baseline sum of target lesions\]\*100 for each patient. Imputations were used for missing data where possible.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The first patient was enrolled on 12-Feb-2010. The last patient was enrolled on 15-Jul-2010. Patients were enrolled at 43 sites in 12 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Panama, Spain, the UK and the USA. 173 patients were screened and 162 patients were enrolled to receive treatment.

Pre-assignment details

Patient randomisation was stratified(using an interactive voice response \[IVR\]system) based on:1) number of prior platinum-containing treatment lines received(1or\>1) and 2)time to disease progression following completion of the previous platinum-containing therapy(\>6to\<=12 months or\>12 months).Six patients in the C6/P arm did not receive treatment.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS (based on independent central review) was defined as the time from randomisation until objective disease progression as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 (≥20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions from minimum, clinically significant progression in non-target lesions or the presence of a new lesion) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).

Time frame: Radiologic scans performed at weeks 9 and 18 (+/-1 week) and every 12 weeks thereafter relative to the date of randomisation until the primary analysis (approximately 20 months)

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS)

Overall Survival (OS)

OS was defined as the time from randomisation until death by any cause. Patients who had not died at the time of analysis were censored at the last date the patient was known to be alive. Updated OS based on final OS analysis (DCO 31 January 2014)

Time frame: Following disease progression, patients will be contacted every 12 weeks to assess survival status until the final analysis (approximately 50 months)

Percentage Change in Tumour Size

The total tumour size was defined as the sum of the longest diameters of the target lesions. At week 9, the percentage change in tumour size was calculated as \[(week 9 sum of target lesions - baseline sum of target lesions)/baseline sum of target lesions\]\*100 for each patient. Imputations were used for missing data where possible.

Time frame: Week 9 (+/- 1 week)

Population: FAS, but including only patients with target lesions at baseline
