E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy of the drugs shown by Progression Free Survival Rate at 12 weeks. The Progressive Free Survival Rate at 12 weeks will be determined by the proportion of patients being alive without progressive disease 12 weeks after randomization. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
12 weeks after randomization |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Overall survival (OS)
• Time to Progression (TTP)
• Response Rate (CR+PR+SD)
• Toxicity (CTCAE, version 4.0)
• Quality of live (EORTC)
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
In this trial, a “treatment period” will be defined as 21 days.
Overall survival, Toxicity and Quality of life assessment will be performed on day 1 and day 8 of each cycle.
After 6 weeks, accordingly after 2 admitted cycles, and before starting third cycle patients will have documentation of disease status (CT/MRI) to evaluate Response Rate and Time to Progression. CT or MRI will be repeated afterwards every 8 weeks until progression.
After progression, patients will be followed every 3 months ± 28 days until death. The investigator will record disease status, toxicities, quality of life and patient survival. |
