E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
This study is aimed at assessing the efficacy and the safety of the combination of bevacizumab and trabectedin with or without carboplatin in adult women with epithelial ovarian cancer at first recurrence occurred 6-12 months after the end of the first platinum-containing regimen. According to the Bryant and Day design the primary endpoints will be the proportion of progression-free patients at 6 months (PFS-6) for the efficacy, and the proportion of patients with severe toxicity for the safety at the same time-point. Disease progression will be determined using the RECIST criteria, version 1.1. |
valutare in termini di efficacia e sicurezza la combinazione di bevacizumab e trabectedina con o senza carboplatino in pazienti con carcinoma epiteliale dell’ovaio in progressione a 6-12 mesi dal termine della precedente chemioterapia a base di platino. L’endpoint primario per l’efficacia è la percentuale di pazienti libere da progressione a 6 mesi dall’ arruolamento (PFS-6) e per la sicurezza la proporzione di pazienti con gravi tossicità sempre a 6 mesi dall’arruolamento come specificato nel protocollo. |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
