Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Determination of the time from the randomization until the moment in which death occurs due to any cause. Measure:General Survival. Timepoints:During the follow-up every 2 months until the death occurs or until the cut-off date for the final analysis, whichever occurs in the first instance. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Criterion 1: Identification of the time from the randomization until the moment in which the progression of the disease or death due to any cause occurs. The progression of the disease should be confirmed by a second evaluation at 4 weeks or later, unless a confirmatory evaluation is not available. The progression is defined as: 1) At least, a 20% increase in the sum of the larger diameters of the target lesions. or 2) Appearance of one or more new lesions and / or clear progression of existing non-target lesions. Criterion 2: Identification of those patients who have Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). CR is defined as: 1) Disappearance of all target lesions. OR 2) Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is defined as: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the largest diameters of the target lesions. Measure:1) Survival without Progression. 2) Objective Response Index. Timepoints:Survival without Progression: Every 42 days during the first year after discontinuation and then every 84 days. Objective Response Index: Before starting the treatment and every 42 days. ; Outcome name:Criterion 1: Evaluation of adverse events according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), version 3.0. Criterion 2: Complete physical examination of all organs and systems. Criterion 3: The general condition according to ECOG, qualifies the patient s activity on a scale of 0 to 5. Criterion 4: Temperature, pulse, respiratory rate and blood pressure. Criterion 5: Panels of hematology and serum chemistry. Criterion 6: standard 12-lead ECG. Measure:Security: 1) Adverse events. 2) Physical examination. 3) General condition. 4) Vital signs. 5) Laboratory tests. 6) ECG. Timepoints:Adverse events: Days -4, 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1, days 1, 8 and 15 of cycles 2 to 6 and during follow-up. Vital signs: Days -4, 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1, day 1 of cycles 2 | — |
