Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of severe adverse reactions or deaths. Measuring time: at baseline, monthly during 2 years.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Adverse Events (AE). Measuring time: at baseline, monthly during 2 years. Measurable by: -Occurrence of any AE (Yes, No) -Description of the AE (Name of the adverse events) -Duration of the AE (difference between the beginning and the end of the AE) -Intensity of the AE (Mild, Moderate, Severe, Extremely Severe, Death) -Severity (Serious, No serious) -Result (Recovered, Enhanced, Persists or squeals) -Attitude towards treatment (Unchanged, Dose modification, Temporary interruption, Definitive interruption) -Causality relationship (Very Likely, Probable, Possible, Unlikely, not related, Unknown) -Batch of CIMAvaxEGF Vaccine (number of the batch of vaccine) Overall survival time (Time in months from the inclusion date until death or last date you have news). Measuring time: at baseline, monthly during 2 years. Evolution of nutritional status (Body mass index: weight / height ² and percentage (%) weight loss). Measuring time: at baseline, monthly during 2 years. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 y EORTC QLQ-CC 13). Measuring time: at baseline, monthly during 2 years. Changes staggering pain therapy (Absence of Pain: The patient does not require treatment, First step: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (aspirin, diclofenac, dipyrone, ibuprofen, indomethacin, naproxen, Paracetamol, Piroxicam) and / or adjuvants, Second step: is added to NSAIDs and adjuvants, a weak opioid (Amicodex, Dextropropoxyphene, Codeine, Tramadol, Demerol) Third step: strong opioids are introduced into the treatment (Morphine, Methadone, Oxycodone, Fentanyl) Fourth step: Blocking peripheral nerves, intraspinal administration, neurosurgery and / or anesthesia).
