E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the rate of objective clinical complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) |
valutare il tasso di risposte cliniche obiettive (CR + PR) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1) To define toxicity profile
2) To assess the OS
3) To estimate disease control rate (DCR) (proportion of patients with best response of CR+PR+SD)
4) To assess the progression-free survival in treated patients
5) To evaluate qualitative and quantitative changes in cellular and humoral immune responses |
1) definire il profilo di tossicità
2) valutare il tasso di controllo della malattia (proporzione di soggetti con risposta completa [CR] + risposta parziale [PR] + malattia stabile [SD]);
3) valutare la sopravvivenza globale
4) valutare la sopravvivenza libera da progressione;
5) valutare le variazioni qualitative e quantitative di risposte immuni, sia cellulare che umorale; |
