E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary criterion of the study will be progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months after the onset of the treatment as determined by the radiologist of centers. The progression-free survival is defined as a lack of objective tumor progression and death. Tumor progression is documented by the CT or MRI scans. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
PFS at 12 months
- Objective tumor response (CR and PR) after 6 months of treatment according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1.) and validated by a central review committee.
- Overall survival (defined as the time from start of study treatment to the date of death due to any cause) at 6 months.
- The safety and tolerance of BKM120 at 24 months.
- Thyroglobulin determination and relation with tumors changes.
- The genetic tumoral alterations including alterations in genes known to be involved in thyroid tumorigenesis (PIK3CA, BRAF, N-RAS) and the predictive value of the tumor molecular profile on the therapeutic effect of the drug.
