E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary end point of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of a sequential adjuvant chemotherapy regimen including non-pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin(Myocet)in combination with Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel, in terms of observed cardiovascular events of any grade of NCI scale (National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria) since two years from beginning of the treatment. |
Valutare la fattibilita' di un regime chemioterapico sequenziale con Doxorubicina Liposomiale non pegilata (Myocet) associata a Ciclofosfamide, seguiti da Paclitaxel in termini di comparsa di eventi cardiovascolari entro i due anni dall’ inizio del trattamento di grado uguale o superiore al I della scala NCI |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Evaluate quality of life of this elderly population by the use of a validated test (EORTC QLQ-c30). |
Valutare l’impatto del trattamento sulla qualita' di vita del paziente anziano attraverso l’uso di un test validato del trattamento chemioterapico(EORTC QLQ-c30). - Valutare la fattibilita' del regime chemioterapico sequenziale con Doxorubicina Liposomiale non pegilata (Myocet) associata a Ciclofosfamide, seguiti da Paclitaxel in termini di tossicita' ematologica e non ematologia. - L’ intervallo libero da ripresa di malattia dell’ intera popolazione in studio |
