Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The MTD will be reached when in a certain step 2/6 or more patients develop grade 3 or more pneumonitis and / or when 3/6 or more patients develop grade 3 or more acute esophagitis and /or when 2/6 patients develop grade 3 or more diarrhea, renal or liver toxicity. In case that 1/6 patients develops G4 skin toxicity and / or G4 neuropathy and / or G5 hematological toxicity, another 6 patients will be enrolled at that dose level. If again 1/6 patients develops the latter toxicity, DLT will be reached. Furthermore, the MTD will be reached when at maximum one patient may have an at 3 months post-treatment persistent G3 or more other toxicity. The decision to move to another dose-level of vinorelbine will be taken when the minimum follow-up of each patient in a particular dose-level will be 3 months post-radiation. | — |
