Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparing progression free survival (defined as the interval between date of randomization and progressive disease or death of any cause) in the two study-arms | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparing overall survival (defined as the interval between date of randomization and date of death), quality of life, morbidity, mortality, toxicity and tumour response following treatment in the two arms. With respect to secondary cytoreductive surgery : determining the effect of complete and incomplete surgery on progression free survival and overall survival, identifying predictive factors and criteria for patient selection for complete surgery. | — |
