Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • The main study parameter is the maximum FDG uptake (SUVmax) at the location of the primary tumour, as determined at multiple days during treatment (up to five time points per patient), expressed as T50 for response evaluation. • The main study endpoint is progression free survival, to be correlated with T50 for prognostic value. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints • Increase SUVmax during de first two weeks of treatment, indicating inflammatory response. • Increase SUVmax between diagnostic imaging and day 1, indicating potential progression. Other study parameters Available image sets will be evaluated using several other diagnostic methods. This will not contribute to the main study outcome, but may yield interesting additional knowledge and potential new strategies for outcome prediction. • Anatomical response based on RECIST criteria. • Biological response based on EORTC criteria. • Alternative T50 based on SUVmean of the primary tumour. • Alternative T50 based on SUVpeak of the primary tumour. • Alternative T50 based on SUVmax/mean of nodal metastases in the imaging range. • Voxel-based evaluation to identify intra-tumoural differences in response. | — |
