Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Determination of the time from randomization to the progression of the disease, which is defined as: A) A 20% increase in the sum of the larger diameters of the target lesions or the appearance of one or more new target lesions. B) Appearance of one or more new lesions and / or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Measure:Progression Free Survival. Timepoints:Every 6 weeks until the progression of the disease. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome name:Criteria 1 and 5: Determination of the number of patients that achieve the RECIST criteria for partial response (RP), complete response (CR) and stable disease (SE). Criterion 2: Measurement of the time from which some response criterion is reached, until a progressive disease criterion of RECIST is reached. Criterion 3: Calculation of the control rate based on the CR, RP and number of patients. Criterion 4: Determination of time from the date of randomization to the date of failure (progression, relapse, death or withdrawal due to an adverse event, refusal of the patient to continue, loss of follow-up or the start of a new therapy antineoplastic). Criterion 6: Determination of the time from randomization to death for any reason. Measure:Secondary efficacy: 1) Tumor response rate. 2) Duration of the response. 3) Duration of disease control. 4) Time to treatment failure. 5) Time until the first response. 6) Global survival. Timepoints:Every 6 weeks until the progression of the disease. ; Outcome name:Criterion 1: Leukocytes, RAN, platelets, hemoglobin Criterion 2: Determination of a RAN 38.5 ° C of unknown origin Criterion 3: ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, total bilirubin. Criterion 4: Medical evaluation of any non-haematological adverse event, according to the criteria of the CTCAE, version 3.0. Measure:Safety: 1) Hematological parameters. 2) Febrile neutropenia. 3) Chemical parameters. 4) Non-haematological toxicities. Timepoints:Days 1 and 8 of each cycle and at the end of treatment. ; Outcome name:EORTC Questionnaire QLQ-C30, composed of 30 questions, which evaluates 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social) and 9 symptoms (nausea and vomiting, pain, fatigue, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhea , financial difficulties). Questionnaire QLQ-BR23, which evaluates: physical image, sexual function, enjoyment of sexual relations, per | — |
