Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsORR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version. 1.1

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of Life (QoL)From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsQuality of life is assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C30. It will be evaluated at Screening, Tumor Assessment Visit and End of Treatment visit.
Overall Survival (OS)From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsOS is determined from the date of treatment to death from any cause or the last follow-up date
Progression Free Survival (PFS)From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsPFS is determined from the date of treatment to PD or death from any cause
Disease Control Rate (DCR)From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsDCR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version. 1.1
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse EventsFrom Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 yearsSafety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 5.0.
