E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma (CRC) when treated with FOLFIRI in combination with placebo versus FOLFIRI in combination with ramucirumab DP. |
O principal objectivo deste estudo é comparar a sobrevivência global (OS - overall survival) em doentes com carcinoma colo-rectal (CCR) metastático quando tratados com FOLFIRI em combinação com placebo versus FOLFIRI em combinação com a SM ramucirumab. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are to compare FOLFIRI plus placebo treatment with FOLFIRI plus ramucirumab DP treatment for:
• progression-free survival (PFS)
• objective response rate (ORR)
• patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures (using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC] QLQ-C30 and EuroQol EQ 5D)
• safety profile
• assessment of the association between biomarkers and clinical outcome
In addition, secondary objectives include:
• assessment of anti-ramucirumab antibodies (immunogenicity)
• assessment of serum levels of ramucirumab
|
Os objectivos secundários estão relacionados com a comparação do tratamento com FOLFIRI mais placebo com o tratamento com FOLFIRI mais a SM ramucirumab em relação:
• à sobrevivência sem progressão de doença (PFS - progression-free survival)
• a taxa de resposta objectiva (ORR - objective response rate)
• às medições dos resultados referidos pelos doentes (PRO - patient-reported outcome) (utilizando o QLQ-C30 da Organização Europeia de Investigação e Tratamento do Cancro [OEITC] e o EuroQol EQ 5D)
• ao perfil de segurança
• à avaliação da associação entre os biomarcadores e os resultados clínicos
Para além disso, os objectivos secundários incluem:
• avaliação dos anticorpos anti-ramucirumab (imunogenicidade)
• avaliação dos níveis séricos de ramucirumab

Os doentes não podem ter, igualmente, uma doença intercorrente não controlada, uma doença leptomeníngea (actual ou antiga), metástases cerebrais ou uma infecção activa que necessite de terapêutica parentérica. Por último, os doentes não podem ter recebido bevacizumab no espaço de 28 dias antes da aleatorização. |
