E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary efficacy objective of the trial is the comparison of Sorafenib vs Placebo in combination with Docetaxel regarding a progression free survival which is measured by the bio-indicator cPSA in the blood serum (prostate-specific antigen). In terms of the clinical laboratory examination a progress is defined by an increase of the cPSA-level of ≥ 50%.This increase must be approved after two weeks. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Comparison of the disease control rates (CR+PR+SD) Comparison of the overall survival times Comparison of the Time to Progression Comparison of response rates measured by cPSA Comparison of response rates measured by RECIST Comparison of progression free survival measured by RECIST Comparison of the tolerance profiles in both treatment groups PSA response period in both treatment groups Comparison of the overall response between both treatment groups
